[ABD]AlternateLogin(Windows Live,Facebook,OpenID)

Sir Charles · Post by **Sir Charles** » Fri Nov 15, 2013 11:43 pm

Hi all,

I have a problem which I can't solve for myself. In my forums I had the Version 2012-02.12.01 installed and everything worked fine. Some months ago, this changed and I hoped through updating the mod, this problem would be resolved. Well, I ran into problems with deleting useless code from the files for upgrading to version 2013.08.04.01, but the essential problem wasn't solved:

When someone comes newly to the forum (not registered), opening the index-page is not possible. Nearly immediately you are redirected to the Login page of Facebook.

Please see for yourself: http://debuetanten.at/phpBB3/index.php or http://debuetanten.at and then clicking on "Forum".

I guess, something is interfering with the old version of the mod as a antother forums modified with this mod worked without any problems...

Any help would be appreciated

How can we make facebook like button to show a image from the topic when you like a topic ? Can that be done ?

forforce · Post by **forforce** » Wed Dec 04, 2013 8:46 pm

Anybody ?
p.s. Beside the image problem , as I see now, the url from the liked topic seems to be rewrited too , in a bad way, instead of looking like this: http://www.cumseface.eu/viewtopic.php?t=88 , it`s looking like this: http://www.cumseface.eu/viewtopic.php?t ... n_ref_map=[]

Can this problem be solved ? Thanks in advance.

Code: Select all

<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.YOUR-BOARD-URL-HERE.COM/images/example.png" />

so only the phpbb3-part is left, to figure out, how to get the image-lnk in post
(i think only one image eg. the-first is possible?) - i dont know facebook at all..

Hi, mjimeyg.

I am installing the alternatelogin-2013.08.04.01 version in my phpBB 3.0.12 version using the last version of AutoMOD, but some problems exist:
1- On pages of index, login and register, the image of facebook button is broken. See below:

2- When I click on the broken image of facebook button, I am redirected to the facebook login page:

After enter with the login and password, I see this facebook page...

...and after I click on "OK" button, I am redirected to panel page with this message error:

"An error occured attempting to retrieve an access token."

Below is my facebook API and my ACP CONSOF facebook settings:

I don't know where and what I am missing.

Thank you for any help.

First of all, my apologies to everyone who asked a question and didn't get a response. For some reason the phpBB seems to only send me notifications some of the time.

Anyway, I will attempt to answer the questions posed in this post.

forforce wrote:Good idea, now testing , thanks.
edit: ok , I think it`s working , one more thing . I found a bug, when I log in from forum and try to acces social options from UCP , I get redirected to home page, If I log in with facebook, I can acces it.(It would be nice to be hidden if you are not logged in with facebook).
p.s. On like button from topic, how can I make it to show the 1st picture from that topic on facebook wall when someone click on like and how can I remove url ,(to be hidden when showing on facebook wall) , And If it would be possible, how can I make it to show the 1st sentence from the topic I like instead of website description ? Thank you all for answers.
edit 2: Can you add google+ and only Google+ login to be near Facebook login , and google+ like button for topics as well ?

The bug that redirects you must be something to do with either the board you installed it on or how you installed it. Also check that you are using the latest version as I think that was a bug in previous versions.

As for the picture showing when clicking Facebook Like button, are you talking about a picture in the post of the user's avatar?

Either way it would involve altering the Facebook meta data in the page header so that the picture tag holds the value you want.

The same process is necessary to make it show the first sentence except you need to edit the description tag.

I don't think you can make it hide the url but I might be wrong, I will look into it.

Google and Google+ are a part of the OpenID section. You would need to edit the jquery plugin for that.

To center a like button I think you can just encase it in '<center>' tags.

This occurs in a phpbb3.0.11 with installed and configured wp-united

version of alternatelogin MOD, used: alternatelogin-2013.08.04.01.zip

The error doesn't give any details and the action be performed when the error occurred is a simple one. You will need to check that the paths on your board are the same as on a standard installation.

Did you manage to fix this problem? I tried your forum and it worked for me.

Are you using the same computer and browser for both emails? It sounds like it might be a problem with your cookies or cached pages.

Did you check to see if the App Id was actually being stored in the ACP?

It looks like the Mod didn't install properly. Check for conflicts with other mods.

The latest version of Alternate Login is now available.

This version now exchanges the Facebook Access Token for an extended token which lasts 60 days. It stores it in the Users Table.

There are new features that allow users to send their posts to their Facebook Status, Invite their Facebook friends and for Administrators to set new topics to be posted to their Facebook Page.

You can download it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/alterna ... p/download

Hi everyone, I've just installed alternate log in and everything looked like working but when I got into a topic it gives the following error:

Thanks for finding this, I was able to replicate it and I believe I have fixed it:

Find the $sql array at around line 34 in hook_alternatelogin.php and replace it with the following:

Code: Select all

$sql_array = array(
				'SELECT'		=> '*',
				'FROM'			=> array(POSTS_TABLE => 'p'),
				'WHERE'			=> 'p.topic_id = ' . $topic_id,
				'ORDER_BY'		=> 'p.post_id'
			);

An update is now available: http://sourceforge.net/projects/alterna ... p/download
