    There was an error rendering this rich post.

  • Login cookies (at least for Facebook and Google connects) seem to expire after closing the browser. I can't figure out where to change this in the plugins.
    I don't want my users to have to sign-in every time.

    @ppaigemariee : I am not sure, but I believe this is browser-specific. Because it happens in Chrome, when it's fine with Mozilla Firefox.

    @2softsolutions : Just go to your Vanilla forum dashboard, and in the sidebar under 'Addons' click 'Plugins' link. That is where you will find these four addons — OpenID, Google, Facebook & Twitter.

    Some points of note:

    • You SHOULD install 'OpenID' addon prior to installing 'Google' login addon as the latter is basically using OpenID itself.

    • Once installed, go to settings of that plugin, and you'll find the instructions on how to install them. Or like @sahotataran suggested, follow the instructions in these links — Facebook connect, Twitter Connect, Google and OpenId.

    • Enabling Twitter is a bit tricky, and the instructions here, aren't exactly very clear. The only thing missing is, you should put your forum URL in the 'Callback URL' field in the Twitter app settings.

    Hope that helps!

    Is there a LinkedIn registration option?

  • hey guys, i was planning to setup the FACEBOOK login for my forum but the below link given in the documentation is not opening the required page to create the application:

    http://www.facebook.com/developers/apps.php

    When this button is clicked, it keeps fluctuating between 2 URLS and refreshes the page each time. Nothing is displayed and hence one cannot create the required application.

    Can you recommend what can be done about the situation? Is there an alternative?
    Thanks & Regards

  • Thanks Wilson ! That link worked. But I have more queries :(

    Do i use
    1. Login for Server-side Apps : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/howtos/login/server-side-login/
    2. Client-side JavaScript SDK : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/howtos/login/getting-started/
    3. Native Device Login

    Thanks

    I'm having the exact same issue. Please, can anyone help us with this issue?

    Thank you.

  • @mventures, I have found the solution! (at least in my case)
    I've read this thread and added the line in the configuration file to make the error screen more verbose:
    http://vanillawiki.homebrewforums.net/index.php/Bonk_Errors

    Then, I got a more detailed error and find out that the problem was caused when vanilla tried to create a new user the first time I logged with Facebook and tried to send the confirmation e-mail. The phpmailer was not installed on my server, and I had not configured another smtp server, so vanilla couldn't send the e-mail.
    I added my smtp server and an e-mail account to send the e-mails from, and it worked!

    If you have any problems with this solution, send me a private message and I will try to help you.

    Cheers.
