How to authenticate paid users and still allow Facebook login

Archived Donald Haight 12 years ago

Trying to work out the details of using the system to support our paid subscribers. We want Facebook log in..however...only if subscribed...Is this just typical customization work?

If you want system to allow only paid subscribers than yes - login plus should be customized, or there is an option to make extra module over login plus, so you'll be able to update login plus without problems in future. Once you have all requirements, email us.


Facebook login doesn't take any password from Facebook. Once you login using Facebook it creates account in system and UR sends generated password to your email that is mentioned at facebook, but you are automatically logged in each time you use facebook with system.


We didn't have problems with file upload - could you please tell me what Browser and OS you use to check it?

Donald,


Do you plan to provide only Facebook login to your subscribed users and remove Twitter and Google Authentication?


Will you still have simple login/registration form available to register and authenticate in community for all users?

Sorry I didn't fully think it through....we only want to allow access to paid subscribers...therefore...I assume complete customization is required...I am working on a requirement and will send to you at usweb...make sense? thanks...also, the facebook log in is a little quirky...works some of the time..I think since I have both a UR log in and facebook...when I come back to the site and try and reply it knows who I am but I give it my facebook password and click facebook log in and it never takes me to the facebook routine...returns the screen as shown....Also on attachment of photo the name of the file you are uploading does not automatically populate the form field...I learned to click inside the comment box to move it along...in other words...I could not tell if the file uploaded..I was waiting...until I click back into the comment box..then..it appears in the upload field to let me know it is ready to upload

Donald,


We've checked the bug with Facebook login, it appears in IE browser. It will be fixed in 1.0.1 that should be release tomorrow
