Extension talk:SocialLogin

Details?

"There are few interaction with social media plugins out of box:..." -- what are those interactions? I really get very little sense of what this extension actually does. Does it allow you to log in with your social media credentials, or do you have to have a separate wiki account? --Woozle (talk) 19:33, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

This mean you can once connect you social media account with MW one and login with it's credentials easily. After you authorize client app you will be asked MW credentials to connect this accounts or data to register new account, they will connect automatically. I'll try to explane this in article. Thanks for the question. Luft-on (talk) 08:56, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

How it works

I set up facebook app, put the rights credentials (app id, app secret) to my LocalSettings and when I click on facebook button to connect nothing happens. What I should see after clicking on "facebook button"? 91.127.209.17 04:48, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Check debug panel (for example in Chrome) is there any errors? You should see popup window with standart facebook auth UI. Luft-on 09:21, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

doesn't work with new MW

This extension doesn't work with new versions of MW, basically the sql file isn't present. Can you please fix that or at least update this on the page? Nischayn22 (talk) 04:53, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Never mind it worked for me now. Nischayn22 (talk) 19:00, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Pls tell me how to make it work 188.168.218.195 04:45, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Well, what error are you seeing? Nischayn22 (talk) 04:32, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Not showing login button when anonymous' read is not allowed

Hi,

Thanks for great extension.

I set below configuration on 'LocalSettings.php' to block all anonymous reading.

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;

and I'm not able to get the login button of this extension. The 'onUserLoadAfterLoadFromSession' hook function is not called when I load the page. hooks.txt tells me that this hook function is called to authenticate users.

Is there any way to enable this SocialLogin functions on this condition? 121.66.115.133 03:27, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

How does Google accounts work?

How would I do a login with G+'s API? Should I choose OAuth 2.0 Web Application? What keys should I get? Server or client? Your documentation is very limited in nature. 173.173.78.73 22:54, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Broken in 1.21

The extension calls the function wfLoadExtensionMessages(), which was removed from MediaWiki 1.21, and so currently crashes the extension. But even after I removed the call to the function, the extension doesn't seem to be working. When I go to Special:SocialLogin, the links to the different services appear in plain text (no images or link style, is that supposed to be like that?), and when clicking them, something appears to load but nothing happens. I may have a chance to fix this myself in the following days, but maybe someone who already knows the extension will be more efficient? LFS (talk) 10:37, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Same problem, not working in 1.22. Zoglun (talk) 07:09, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

I think I somehow figured out how to fix the problem.

In SocialLogin.php, changing "<?" to "<?php" should work.

Because the first line is "<?", the web server treats SocialLogin.php as plain text file instead of script. 67.160.42.215 07:08, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

still broken on 1.23? Did anybody got it to work?

Hi we facing the problem that the special:sociallogin page just stays empty (used the download packet from this site). Unfortunately without understanding and debugging the whole extension first, we do not have any further details or hints yet, only this empty page (just showing the page name header and all the surrounding menus, but no page content as such)

Did anybody had the same experience and got it fixed?

many thanks in advance Steffen Stko (talk) 05:37, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Have you solved this problem yet? I cannot get to work?

Can someone provide their exact configuration for this (minus secretIDs)?

Social Login Extension Issues

Mediawiki: 1.24 Social Login Extension Version: 0.9.9 (2012-11-26)

Hi,

i install Social Login Extension. But it does not work fine it shows error on homepage.Below is the error:

"Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home1/gurpry/public_html/p3workshop.in/mediawiki/extensions/SocialLogin/SocialLogin.php:18) in /home1/gurpry/public_html/p3workshop.in/mediawiki/includes/WebResponse.php on line 37" 122.176.235.146 06:21, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Login redirect not working, no images

These settings

$wgSocialLoginAddForms = true;

$wgSocialLoginOverrideUrls = true;

don't seem to have any effect. Neither the register nor the login screen redirect. I can go directly to Special:SocialLogin but even there I don't get the login buttons I expected to see to link my accounts. Instead I just get a plain forms. I actually get the forms twice. I get a column with Facebook twice, another column with Google twice.

I also get 3 errors on the Chrome console.

index.php?title=Special:SocialLogin:22 GET https://bayridgetroop13.org/extensions/SocialLogin/css/style.css 404 (Not Found)

index.php?title=Special:SocialLogin:23 GET https://bayridgetroop13.org/extensions/SocialLogin/auth.js

index.php?title=Special:SocialLogin:24 Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined(anonymous function) @ index.php?title=Special:SocialLogin:24 Roland Roberts (talk) 23:09, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Ah, I know what the problem is, I just don't quite know why. Those URLs are wrong. The base URL for the wiki is https://bayridgetroop13.org/wiki. Roland Roberts (talk) 23:13, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

I "fixed" the problem locally by hardcoding the "wiki" part of the URL in my copy of the extension.

I was expecting that the two variables

$wgSocialLoginAddForms = true;

$wgSocialLoginOverrideUrls = true;

would be my login and register pages redirected to Special:SocialLogin, but that doesn't seem to be the case. What am I missing? Roland Roberts (talk) 19:19, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Sadly, this appears permanently broken. I've never been able to get anything to show up allowing facebook or google login. Yes, I've been able to do both with other apps I've written, but this extension doesn't seem to be doing it. Roland Roberts (talk) 01:22, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
