Social Networking Logins for SMF For Free
« on: August 23, 2010, 12:52:05 pm »
Just adding social networking login/registration to Create A Forum wondering if anyone would be interested in it here. Basically allows users to register/login using their social networking accounts.


Currently will not work with custom domains unless I add a setting for it.

would they still need to register with the forum first before being able to use that function?

Here's what happens. When they click on the social networking account for first type it auto creates the account on the forum in one step. And then afterwords anytime they click on the icon again they are just logged in.

So this would bypass the ability to prequalify new membership requests ?

I am not the brightest, so what is the reason and what are the advantages to the forum by someone logging in via social networking accts ?

Currently I have setup to bypass approval but probably could add a setting for it.

Some of things that I said on some of the benfits.
Allowing easier participation where users no longer have to jump though hurdles to join such as captcha, other verification or even just remembering their username and password.

If really is just another way for people to register/signin.
So if they don't want to remember another username/password they could just signup/login using their social networking account.

This is an awesome idea but will we be able to ban these users?

Great idea as I have got over #3000 people on Face book following our links.

Methinks that it must have Admin Approval enabled.

Personaly speaking.

I would remove one of my current boards, which, is not doing a lot, create a Central EZ Block, so the buttons, and Invitation to join text, are visable to any vistors, to my forum.

As long as the banning is still optional with it.

I'm all for the not having to remember another userid and password. I've got that issue with my members a lot.  :uglystupid2:
