Looking for a method to integrate the login with an existing membership site

CWN Tech Posted in Beginning Developers 6 years ago

I am new to OSSN but have been tasked with trying to integrate the OSSN login with our existing membership site. Our members are validated when they login to our existing site so we want to allow them to go directly to the private social network without having to do an additional login (we maintain same usernames in both databases). Any suggestions on how to do this would be appreciated.

Thank you for the suggestion. Trying to figure out the facebook stuff did not go well but he passing in username/email worked. I ended up modifying the forms/login2.php file in the MobileLogin component to look for the username and email request variables. The users still have to stop on this page and click the Login button but at least with the hidden variables they do not have to enter anything now.

The Premium version of Ossn comes bundled with a component named "Social Login" (see https://www.softlab24.com/product/view/67/social-login )

It shouldn't be too complicated to derive a new component based on that 'Social Login' code and adapt it to your own specs.

As for the pre-requisites: Your side has to pass a unique username and a unique mail address to Ossn.
