Hybridauth social login
The connection to the website through social networks uses the Hybridauth library it allows the visitor, to quickly register on a site by letting their network provide information about themselves. The principle of operation is simple. When a user chooses a social network, he is sent to the server of the latter. There he is invited to enter his details. When they are validated, he is returned to the Tiki site on which he wanted to connect.
Configuration steps
To achieve this some data must be provided:
Note: In this document YourSocialNetwork represents the name of the social network of your choice.
First, you need to enable the Social Network feature in Tiki. To do this you need to login as admin, go to the Admin dashboard in the menu Settings -> Contol Panels. Check your admin filter preferences is set to advanced and in the Panel Feature, Mail and Sharing enable Social Network. (tiki-admin.php?page=features#Mail_and_Sharing)
Then, go to the Social networks panel -> General tab (tiki-admin.php?page=socialnetworks#content-admin1-1) select one or several site you want your users to be allowed to sign in and apply.
Secondly, go now to the tab Settings, your site choices will be visible in different section. In each section the YourSocialNetwork login allowed checkbox should be checked so you can enable/disable a single access. Under it you will find a button More/Less that toggle specific information you need to provide to allow your users to login using this method.
Enter the required information (check the samples below)
In the Control Panel User Settings tab User Settings you also need to enable "User preferences screen".
First, choose your social network(s). To do this, go to Settings -> Users & Community -> Social networks -> General tab or tiki-admin.php?page=socialnetworks#content_admin1-1 and make your choice(s) then validate.
Secondly, still in "Configure social network integration", go to the Settings tab (tiki-admin.php?page=socialnetworks#content_admin1-2), your choices will be visible in well framed zones above. In each zone check the box YourSocialNetwork login allowed ? by doing that a button leading to your site will be available on the login page but will not be functional.
Thirdly, turn in each area click on the more/less button...
Parameters to manage the users and their account or items
You will have to complete different parameters. The mandatory fields are YourSocialNetwork Application ID and YourSocialNetwork Application secret.
For a successful experience in Tiki, we advise you to check the boxes below.
YourSocialNetwork auto-create user?
YourSocialNetwork user prefix to auto-create
YourSocialNetwork auto-create user email?
YourSocialNetwork auto-create user tracker item?
YourSocialNetwork auto-create user name(s)?
Note
The field YourSocialNetwork user prefix to auto-create is filled with the initial of the network you have chosen. So the username will be the combination of the value in this field and a sequence of numbers that will be assigned to it.
This will automatically create a user in Tiki that will be in the default register group.
For this to work properly you would need to enable the User preferences screen option, you can find this by going to Settings -> User Settings tab -> User preferences screen (http:example.org/tiki-admin.php?page=user#contentadmin_user_setting-1).
