OpenCart Community

Hi, I've seen an ecommerce site allowing to login using Facebook. ("Connect with Facebook" option). Then providing the necessary infos required. How did they do that?

facebook connect is an api you can use for login to any site if it is coded to allow it. I have not seen a mod released by anyone for opencart, though I'm pretty sure I saw one opencart site that had it.

Nice! Anybody can share a code?

I think maybe they use OpenID? ,

a plugin for opencart would be cool

I agree. Here's a detail on how it works: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/ind ... horization

no openid and facebook connect are two completely different things.

Anybody done this before?

Here's a tutorial with zencart integration http://www.tools4facebook.com/2009/03/1 ... on-part-1/

There is very easy way to do it.
If you want to share a product, just post the next code somewhere you want on PRODUCT.TPL

Code: Select all

<a name="fb_share" type="button" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Сподели</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script>

well that is just product share, not facebook connect login.

Probably a candidate to be added to the core. Google account authentication would also be worthwhile.

Social Sign in - OpenCart - http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... on_id=1997

There is also a free one :

It works for me fine so far. Just one problem with Facebook Login - it's deleting already registered users their password.

Great article …Thanks for your great information, the contents are quiet interesting.
