Tank Auth with Facebook Connect Authentication

[eluser]Ted S[/eluser]
Made a couple hacks to make the process a little smoother and log a user in after registering. As of right now this only works with core registrations as the Facebook & Twitter systems seem to a better job with this.

Find:

Code:

if (!is_null($data = $this->tank_auth->create_user(

Right after that statement is a // success comment. Add the following below it and before the email / redirect rotuines:

Code:

// success --> log them in
$this->session->set_userdata(array(
'user_id'    => $data['user_id'],
'username'    => $data['username'],
'status'    => STATUS_ACTIVATED
));

$this->users->update_login_info(
$data['user_id'],
$this->config->item('login_record_ip', 'tank_auth'),
$this->config->item('login_record_time', 'tank_auth'));

You should only use this if a registration is considered active immediately. Those with activation emails and similar settings will want to keep things as is.

If you want to pass the remember me cookie you can do that as well. I omitted it as it's a first sign in which is generally treated as short term.
