Facebook Login & Registration  Bottom

  • Hi all,

    How do I set up a Facebook Login & Registration button on my site? I created an app in the Facebook Developers section and tried to use the code that they provided but it doesn't appear to be working.
    The HTML code they provided does give the request for permission but after that, nothing else happened. I did put my App ID where it was appropriate.

    Code

    <div id="fb-root"></div>
         
            window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
              FB.init({
                appId      : 'YOUR_APP_ID',
                status     : true,
                cookie     : true,
                xfbml      : true
              });
            };
            (function(d){
               var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk'; if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
               js = d.createElement('script'); js.id = id; js.async = true;
               js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js";
               d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(js);
             }(document));
         
          <div
            class="fb-registration"
            data-fields="[{'name':'name'}, {'name':'email'},
              {'name':'favorite_car','description':'What is your favorite car?',
                'type':'text'}]"

            data-redirect-uri="URL_TO_LOAD_AFTER_REGISTRATION"
          </div>


    I'm running Zikula 1.2.8 and I do have Facebook 0.3 installed with the appropriate ID's and Key's included.
    Any suggestions?

  • According to "craigh" the Facebook 0.3 module was a rip of. Time and money.

    I tried it, but couldn't get it to work. But I read somewhere that Zikula 1.3... got a Facebook module in development "by nestormateo" so we can expect something coming out of this.

    OFF TOPIC

    Why is everyone so crazy about Facebook?
    I just moved to google + and will delete soon my Facebook account.

  • I agree about the Facebook module being pretty useless. It doesn't seem to do anything at all. Facebook does give a lot of information about how to add a login button but nothing I do seems to work. I'm using the Wibya toolbar on my site and if they had a login option I'd use it. Unfortunately, they don't.

    As for Facebook vs. Google+. If I had my way, I'd have multiple login options for my site. Google+ is very good but because it's new(ish) then most people aren't using it yet. Facebook has 700M+ users so that's a much bigger user base to draw from.

    I heard a comparison that might be appropriate. The difference between FB and G+ users is similar to the difference between PC and Mac users. A couple of years ago, having a MySpace login would've been the best thing to have on your site. These days, it's considered a ghost town.

  • What about the FBConnect module at https://github.com/z…a-modules/FBConnect? Will it work for Zikula 1.2.8?

  • No. It was just started, but not continued.

  • I had a feeling that would have been too easy.

  • I'm going to try setting up a social login (Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc) using Janrain. I'll let you know how it works out.

  • I'm also looking into OneAll to see if I can get the social login working there. Any other suggestions as to what I could use?

  • try to contact to rmburkhead to get advice about ths,
    he refactores the Users module to support social connections,
    but I haven't got the time to play with it at the end,
    even when I'm interested that people be able to login to the site easily.

  • Thanks Mateo. I'm also checking out a new service called LoginRadius. I get the feeling that if I can get one working, the same changes could be made to make all of them work.

  • I have a quick question. The Zikula Chat Module has a Social Connect feature. Does the Chat module integrate with Zikula users? Specifically, if someone registers and logs into the Chat, is a user account created for my site?
