Is there a way to trigger a specific social login (Facebook) using a WordPress Button/Link?

Richard_Plakas

I have a need on a client site to trigger a social login just for Facebook using a WordPress Button or link like on this page:

https://rivetworks.wpengine.com/test-rich/

We are on the Bronze Plan.

This would make it easier to implement the Facebook login into other parts of the sites such as Pricing Tables which currently look weird when using the shortcode: http://rivetworks.wpengine.com/upgrades-and-pricing/

Thanks!

Reading some of the API documentation and it looks like I need to implement the do_login function on a button click to pop up the Facebook auth window.

_oneall.push(['social_login', 'do_login', 'facebook']);

Can I do this with the javascript already loaded from the WordPress Plugin?

Can we add a shortcode that would bypass the iframe and just go right to the Facebook auth?

And once again, I want to have my own button or link, that when clicked opens the Facebook auth.

Hi Richard,

I think that you for your needs the following feature would be better:
http://docs.oneall.com/services/direct-connect/

You can fully customize the button and/or automatically forward the user to the Facebook auth.

Do I need to have someone code a callback.php file, or can I use a file/code from the WordPress plugin?

I am not a coder but very good and copy & paste ;-)

Hi Richard,

no, you do not need to rewrite the callback function. The one includes in the WordPress plugin will do the job!

Great, what would the callback uri be when using the plugin with direct?

I tried: https://rivetworks.api.oneall.com/socialize/connect/direct/facebook/&service=social_login&callback_uri=https://rivetworks.wpengine.com/wp-content/plugins/oa-social-login/includes/communication.php

and

https://rivetworks.api.oneall.com/socialize/connect/direct/facebook/&service=social_login&callback_uri=https://rivetworks.wpengine.com/wp-content/plugins/oa-social-login/oa-social-login.php

But get "Not Found

The requested URL /socialize/connect/direct/facebook/&service=social_login&callback_uri=https://rivetworks.wpengine.com/wp-content/plugins/oa-social-login/oa-social-login.php was not found on this server. "

I think I am close though!

Hi Richard,

could you try to use the main page of your blog as callback uri?

Did not work:

Not Found

The requested URL /socialize/connect/direct/facebook/&service=social_login&callback_uri=https://rivetworks.wpengine.com/ was not found on this server.

Hi Richard,

the value needs to be url-encoded, it should look like this:
https%3A%2F%2Frivetworks.wpengine.com%2F

Richard_Plakas

I have been url encoding the value, you can view it on this test page here on the button: https://rivetworks.wpengine.com/test-rich/

This is the complete direct link I am using: https://rivetworks.api.oneall.com/socialize/connect/direct/facebook/&service=social_login&callback_uri=https%3A%2F%2Frivetworks.wpengine.com%2F

Hi Richard,

the first parameter in an URL needs to be preceded by a ?

Please replace &service= by ?service=

This gives me an option to login into Facebook(if I'm not logged in) but just returns me to the home page without creating a user.

Also, is there a way to make the Facebook login open in a modal?

Claude_Schlesser

Hi Richard,

ok, that's already a great thing

Now please open the file "/includes/user_interface.php" of the Social Login plugin of your WordPress and then replace every $_POST by $_REQUEST That should do the trick!
