Facebook Connect Questions

[mcguffin]

Does it check against existing members email addresses that registered via WordPress/Buddypress?

Do registered users get saved to the database in case we stop using the Facebook feature or in case FB changes something?

Do the avatars get used and are they saved or cached?

Will members need to fill in required profile fields?

Can you change the button style/image?

How do I add the button to other places on the site?

Thanks

Hi,
Yes it does check for the email address.
– Users are saved to the db. If you stop Facebook integration everything is fine
– Registration using Facebook will be disabled from our next update because it skips the required profile fields.
Button can be changed by adding this code to your functions.php in sweetdate-child:

COPY CODE

add_action('after_setup_theme','kleo_remove_actions');
function kleo_remove_actions() 
{
    remove_action('fb_popup_button', 'fb_button' );
}

function my_fb_button()
{
?>
    <a href="#" id="facebook_connect" class="radius button facebook"><i class="icon-facebook-sign"></i>  <?php _e("LOG IN WITH Facebook", 'kleo_framework');?></a>
<?php
}
add_action('fb_popup_button', 'my_fb_button' );

To add it in other places do:

UPDATE:
We have added the option to Enable/Disable User registrations and only allow Login with Facebook.
This can be set from Theme option in v1.4 that will be released today or tomorrow

I wouldn’t remove registration using Facebook. I would just make an an option in the admin.

I think the best solution would be a redirect to the user profile after registration. Maybe have an alert asking them to complete their profile fields.

[SQadmin]

We haven’t removed the registration, we just made it optional. From theme options you can enable/disable it.
What you isn’t that good because the user can just not fill those fields after.

I think like many, we won’t be using this as a dating site so it won’t be as big of an issue if they choose not to fill them out. For us it will be more of an opt in job search tool. Having the redirect will just be a way to motivate them to do so.

[mcguffin]

BTW I think creating a job search version of this theme would be very popular.

Hi mcguffin,

for social login plugins please have a look at:

Social Login, Social Sharing, Social Commenting and more!

and

Social Login

Maybe this is what you need?

[mcguffin]

@rugwarrior Thanks, I’m sure it works great, but for our membership base it would cost $80 a month. It is only free for less than 2,500 members. It’s also not a pure registration plugin, it only offers authentication. Meaning, if you stop using it members will need to register again and start their accounts over.

[rugwarrior]

@mcguffin,

sorry for that (I am a bit in a hurry at the moment… holidays 😉

WordPress Social Login is completely free.

Does this one meet your requirements?

[mcguffin]

@rugwarrior Thanks for the link, but no. This is still an authentication plugin not a registration plugin. In my opinion these should never be used. If you have an existing site all of your current members would need to register new accounts to use this feature. Also if it stops working for any reason members will lose their accounts (which happens often). Unless it creates an account that is saved in your database assessable via regular WP email login these services should never be used. Never trust the most important part of your site to a third party.

@mcguffin,

thank you for pointing this out 🙂

[SQadmin]

Hi,
We already did the changes regarding Facebook registration option. We added an option in admin to enable/disable registrations and only allow login.
If you register with Facebook then you’ll be redirected your profile and a notification appears saying to complete your profile.

Thanks for your suggestions.
