Installation

This plugin relies on Winter.User, so make sure you have that installed.

Go to System - Updates and in the search field enter Flynsarmy.SocialLogin

Via Composer

  • Add repository to composer.json:

    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/Flynsarmy/wn-sociallogin-plugin"
        }
    ],
    
  • Then run command in console:

    composer require --dev flynsarmy/wn-sociallogin-plugin "dev-master"
    

Usage

  • Fill in any required credentials in System - Social Login, making sure the Enabled? checkbox is ticked when you're done.
  • Add User - Account and Social Login components to your login page
  • Copy /plugins/winter/user/components/account/signin.htm to your themes partials/account folder
  • Where you want your login links, add
{% for name, link in social_login_links %}
    <a href="{{ link }}">{{ name }}</a>
{% endfor %}

Remember that you can format it any way you like.

Settings

Sometimes you'll want to decide which page to redirect to on login/error. For example perhaps you have a log in page before checkout in an ecommerce plugin and want to redirect to the cart on login. This can be done by appending the following query string values to your login links:

Query String ParamDefaultDescription
s/Success page redirect URL (relative)
f/loginError page redirect URL (relative)

Example usage:

{% for name, link in social_login_links %}
    <a href="{{ link }}?s={{ 'home'|page }}&f={{ 'login'|page }}">{{ name }}</a>
{% endfor %}

Events

Developers can change the way logins are handled through several events detailed below.

EventParametersDescription
flynsarmy.sociallogin.handleBackendLoginarray providerdetails,arrayprovider_details, array user_details, User $userTriggers before backend login. Return true to halt the login process
flynsarmy.sociallogin.handleLoginarray providerdetails,arrayprovider_details, array user_details, User $userTriggers before frontend login. Return true to halt the login process
flynsarmy.sociallogin.registerUserarray providerdetails,arrayprovider_details, array user_detailsTriggers before registering a new user for attaching to a social account. Optionally return a User object

Other Notes

Twitter doesn't return an email address, so when logging in with Twitter, a new user account is created and associated with the Twitter account.

Examples

To get your login page looking how mine is in the marketplace screenshot here's my /themes/travu/partials/account/signin.htm:

<form id="login" data-request="onSignin">
	<div class="form-group">
		<label for="userSigninEmail">Email</label>
		<input name="email" type="email" class="form-control" id="userSigninEmail" placeholder="Enter your email">
	</div>

	<div class="form-group">
		<label for="userSigninPassword">Password</label>
		<input name="password" type="password" class="form-control" id="userSigninPassword" placeholder="Enter your password">
	</div>

	<p align="right">
		or sign in with
		{% for name, link in social_login_links %}
			<a href="{{ link }}" class='login {{ name|lower }}'><i class="fa fa-2 fa-{{ name|lower }}"></i></a>
		{% endfor %}
	</p>

	<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Sign in</button>
</form>
