This module will help your users to login to the site using the popular social networking or email account. Enable Social Sign In for your Joomla website.

Demo can be seen here http://joomla.thakkertech.com/

This module uses Janrain (formerly RPX) and Janrain (formerly RPX) helps users sign-in to your website using an account they already have at:

* Aol
* Yahoo!
* Facebook
* Twitter
* LinkedIn
* Google
* MySpace
* Windows Live
* PayPal
* Hyves
* Verisign
* MyOpenID
* OpenID
* Flickr
* Blogger
* Livejournal
* Wordpress
* Netlog


So your users can bypass the extensive process of joining the site and can use their existing accounts into your site, and you can see username, email into your User manager through joomla admin.

Joomla admins will receive the email notifying user has sign-up using the RPX mod. So admin can track how many users used this mod on your site to register.

NEW UPDATE INCLUDES :

* Supports Community Builder (CB) and Jomsocial profiles, so now new user register via this mod will be added to your Community Builder (CB) and Jomsocial components as well.
* Imports user photo from the login provider site, if available, and adds as avatar to Community Builder (CB) or Jomsocial, if any of these two installed on your site.

i am using this module and problem with this module is it never returns any fb profile pic .
i have raised the que on support form got answer you can download new version but still the problem is same with this new version also
Facebook integration was a nightmare and I suggest you NOT using this module for FB. For one, instructions on inputing the BASE URL on Facebook is confusing and easily repairable with more explicit instruction. Even then, you'll have to change it to a designated web other than your own URL for this to work.

As for Twiiter, Linkedin, Google, OpenID, Yahoo, and AOL, it works fine without much hassle. I did get a token error message, but it appears to be OK now. The other concern is that they are using this module to track your site's traffic.


Solution: I kept the JomSocial Facebook Connect and added a module for OTHER logins separate using their module.
