UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 7 Version 7 Support Log in with Facebook account

Hi

I'm running 7.5.7. I'm wondering if it is possible to allow users to login using their facebook account? I saw some mentions of this in a search through the forum, but nothing conclusive.

I was looking over Facebook's developer page and tyring to figure out if I could add the feature myself, but not sure if I could.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/login-flow-for-web/v2.1

Perhaps someone here has some insight into this?

Well this is a little above my expertise.
But anyway.
There are some members that have integrated their own login system with UBB.
But I am not aware of any going the other way with Facebook or twitter.
That is what version 8 was headed for, with API plugin's.
Now although not in stock code I am sure people smarter than me could add it in.
Just depends on how cost effective it is for you.

Thanks for the reply.

Now that I think about it, you bring up a good point - which is that what we would *really* like to do is be able to integrate our forum login with our main site login, that is run by Miva Merchant (ecommerce software that also uses MyQSL). And I know that I would be able to have facebook login to miva.

At the very least I would like to have it such that if a customer logs in to our store they are automatically logged into the forum, but ideally there would in fact be only a single login, with an option to create a forum profile.

It sounds very complicated to me, but perhaps I could find someone to do the work (paid) on the dev forum.
