======= Phase 1 is now LIVE ========

Our latest update is the introduction of Facebook Connect. This update will be made in two phases.

The first phase will be pushed live in the next few days and allow your club members to sign up and login to a Pitchero club website with their Facebook email address and password.

The second phase will allow Pitchero members to push content they upload to Pitchero straight to their Facebook account. Thus promoting the club website to their Facebook friends.

The second phase will be optional and pushed live over the next few months.

The primary benefit of Facebook Connect is the time it will save your members when joining and logging into your club website.

The average club member will already have a Facebook account and allowing them to use this during sign up will speed up the process and encourage more members join.

For those of you not interested in Facebook - don't worry. This update will not affect you, please stay calm and carry on!

How to link your Pitchero account to Facebook

• Go to your club website and click 'Log in'.



• If you are already logged in, you will need to log out.


• Click >> 'Login with Facebook'.


• Enter your Facebook email address and password.






• You will then be taken to a Pitchero page.


• Enter your Pitchero email address and password.


• Click >> Connect





• The two accounts will now be connected.

Benefits:

• The user will only have to remember one login and password.


• If the user is already logged into Facebook, they will be instantly logged into Pitchero.

Note:
Your Facebook email address and password will NOT replace the email and password you have used for Pitchero. They remain two separate systems.

The only change is that you can use your Facebook log in to access your Pitchero account.

Member sign up using Facebook
As well as connecting an existing Pitchero account with a Facebook account, it is now possible for a member to join your club website using their Facebook login.

To do this a member much follow these steps:

• Click >> 'Join Website' on your club homepage.


• Click >> 'Sign up with Facebook'.


• Follow the on screen instructions.

Again this should save time and encourage more members to join your website.

Editing your social settings
Finally all members can edit their social settings at any time via the Account Settings page.
