I'd like to have a facebook or alike log-in plug-in feature for my website so that my users would just user their social account to log in to my website. What would you recommend? Thanks!
PS I'm using wordpress 3.3
Using oAuth you can achieve this. From facebook developer account you have to create an app id. Then use that app id to send the request.
Read https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/login-flow-for-web/ It has got everything you would like to implement for social login using facebook.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/facebook/
here's one. compatible with wordpress 3.3. Also has a couple of advanced features for example being enabling the user to share stuff to his timeline.
Also, if you just require a simple login check this out: https://wordpress.org/plugins/oa-social-login/
This plugin allows the user to sign in from any of the popular social networks into your site.
Or, if you want to code a custom functionality, you should check facebook sdk.

i'm searching the internet for a good howto concerning facebook developing, but can't find it. I created a facebook developer account, i also created an app (which is in developing mode).
But now i'm stuck...
I want to show the events of (my) facebook (fan) page in my Joomla website. I can find (joomla) modules for the website part, but they all say that i need a facebook app. Unfortunately nobody is explaining how you do this...
My question: what do i need to do in the facebook developer portal to create this functionality?
(if there is a representative example somewhere please refer me to it).
Thanks for the time and effort!
Kind regard,
Mijno
When you integrate your blog or cms with an app that you admin, you don't need special permissions.
So just create a facebook developer account.
Go to Apps & create an new app.
Fill in the fields. This will create a standard app and provides you with an App ID and the App Secret. This should be enough.
I have create a Facebook Community Page in Facebook. On the other side i have a web based mobile application built in jquery which supports Facebook Authentication ( like login using Facebook stuff)
Now to support facebook authentication i need to create a App in facebook and
assign the App ID/API Key and set the Site URL but i don't see any option to create app in community page which i can see in my own personal normal facebook account as follows
Please look at the image , this is the way i set up an app using my personal facebook account but i dont see this option in community page tht i have created. how can i create app into that
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
In Community page i am getting following page when i try to create an app
Community pages are intended to be used like a wiki and Facebook does not allow for the creation of apps under community pages. So unfortunately you will have to use a personal account to create the app.
I have implemented the sample application provided by DotNetOpenAuth as instructed here.
As you can see below, this is requiring that the user installs this facebook application.
I simply want to allow users to use their facebook login for my vanilla ASP.NET website.
Is there some way to prevent them from having to install a facebook application?
Update: Stackexchange Facebook login doesn't have an "install" button. It simply has a dialog requesting various permissions. This is much preferred in my case.
This will work until Facebook forces everybody to use the "Enhanced Auth Dialog"
You can fix this dialog by going into your advanced application settings:
Changing this setting will cause the dialog to appear as you suggested in your excellent question.
I need to perform facebook post into the user wall from wp7 (but without using the nice built-in ShareLinkTask of mango, please don't ask me why, its a requirement).
So, lets say I must do it as I was in Wp7 before mango, the only way available I found, is based on building a facebook application and using that applicationId with the facebook sdk.
It works but I need to use an ad-hoc or a company account to create the app, I was not able to do both, it seems that comapny account cannot create apps, ad-hoc account are prohibited.
Is there a way to create a facebook app withouth using a personal account ?
Is it really necessary to create a facebook app to make a wp7 app post to facebook (without using the ShareLinkTask of mango).
thanks to all
There is no other way to post on somebody's wall. You have to use the SDK and to register your app on Facebook because the user has to explicitly authorize your applications to post on his wall.
Even if you post a message from the built-in Windows Phone features, you'll see on Facebook that the message has been posted with the application Windows Phone. And you can retrieve the settings of that application in your facebook account settings:
I have looked through dev docs and and tutorials via google engine, but I am kinda lost plus I am no expert in logic or programming..
I am trying to combine with login and register on the page. If user have fb account, they can log in. and then have database store their information for shopping purpose. if not, they could register and again have database store their info.
How to combine them using PHP SDK? Also I notice that I couldn't use Javascript SDK for login and register (do I need to create two apps for login and register?)
Insight will be appreciated. thank you very much
If you are talking about the "Registration Plugin" then I've written a tutorial about this:
