Tank Auth with Twitter authentication & Facebook

[eluser]imcl[/eluser]
got it -- after entering a unique username and email I can access my website without problems -- awesome code eric! many thanks for sharing.

i wonder how we could streamline this a bit more, a la stack overflow login.

so the idea would be to enter the site immediately after accepting the app -- as you mentioned a unique & temporary username would need to be generated.

how would you retrieve the name/lastname for facebook or google? would this require changing the JS on the login page?

PS:

not sure if it's relevant, but I capitalized the first letters of the class in your controller & models.

Good stuff. Glad it's working well. Yeah I'm still trying to do something similar to Stackoverflow login system. Making up a username isn't a problem I think, but integrating with OpenID and also using Google's new oAuth authentication would be the next step. Let me know if you get that working! There's also a new LinkedIn authentication, which I think is quite simple to integrate. Maybe I'll get some spare time to work on those.

hey eric, is there anywhere you prefer us to post suggestions to the code? not sure if you want it to be done on this thread.

I am tweaking around and have found certain solutions, eg, to retrieve a user's picture, that may obviate some code in 'facebook_model.php'

Hey imcl, I geuss one way would be through GitHub page. We can always collaborate on a more detailed manner. Send me a private message then maybe we can get something started!

facebook_model have error.

method: getPicture

Code:

function getPicture()
{
    $cookie = $this->get_facebook_cookie();
    $user = @json_decode(file_get_contents( 'https://graph.facebook.com/me/picture?access_token=' .    $cookie['access_token']), true);
    return $user;
}

[function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream:
file_get_contents - can’t get content because of url redirection.
My question is how can I get redirection url (direct image url)?

Eric great stuff you're doing with tank auth. Is there an example admin panel available for this app? Just some small usermanagement panel like DX Auth has. I tried to merge the DX Auth adminpanel with your Tank Auth version, without luck. ;( (I am originally a designer, not a programmer).

Hey there @german.zvonchuk

You can also get the user's public profile picture by going directly to the Facebook URL

http://graph.facebook.com/' . $user_id . '/picture?type=large

where you replace $user_id with the Facebook user ID you get from the API. Hope that helps. I found that as the easiest way to get the profile picture.

@mindtricks, honestly, I haven't tried DX Auth so I'm not sure what its Admin interface looks like, but I can see it could be quite useful. Haven't got around to build the admin panel for Tank Auth though. Although now I think about it, it would be quite useful!

I would appreciate it very much. :-)
If you're interested, I would be happy to help you with designing.

PS 1: Maybe you could take a look at DX Auth's admin panel (its very basic i think) and although Tank Auth's code is seriously reworked, it's based on DX Auth.
PS 2: And like you've got nothing else to do, could you also create a public profile page for Tank Auth's users?

Your request failed. Did you setup a twitter app account and modify the config?
