Social Login module: enabling Twitter/Facebook/etc. logins for ExpressionEngine

28 Jun 2011

Social Login enables people to log in into your ExpressionEngine site using their account in social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Google etc.)

Currently Twitter, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn and Yahoo! are supported. Other sites/providers can be added in the future on demand.

If the member with given social network account is already registered in your site, he is logged in into his account. Otherwise new account is created.

Avatars are fetched and stored in EE database together with other user’s information.

Here’s a quick usage example to give you an idea:

{if logged_in}
{screen_name}--{username}--<a href="{path=LOGOUT}">Log out</a>
{/if}
{exp:social_login:form return="comments/social-login"}
{providers}
<input name="provider" type="radio" value="{provider_name}" id="{provider_name}_button">
<label for="{provider_name}_button"><img src="{provider_icon}" title="Log in using {provider_title}" /></label>
<br />
{/providers}
<input type="submit" value="proceed" />
{/exp:social_login:form}
