Auto Login via Facebook

[[R] NuclearGeneral]

This hook will try to auto log users who have an active Facebook session in IPB (and are members of the forum too, of course :) ).

 

The hook comes with 2 settings, available in System > Facebook Connect:

 

• Force Mode: Setting this to Yes will make IPB force all guests to be logged in Facebook before being able to browse the forums. Default is set to No.
• Recheck Time: How long the board will wait before performing a new Facebook session check for the guest, in seconds. Entering 0 disables it. Default is set to 0.

 

There are no file edits.

 

With Force Mode set to No, users who log out from IPB will only be logged back in on a next browser session.

 

The demo board has Force Mode set to No.

 

Reminder: Your board must be set up properly to work with Facebook for this hook to work well. More information here.

 

On a side note, I tried to do the same with Twitter, but still could not find a good API for this. Maybe in a future version :wub:
