Requirements
Overview
The module provides a basic interface for implementing the Facebook PHP SDK
on your SilverStripe website. The Facebook SDK allows users to login to your
website using their Facebook account details, creating a single sign-on within
the existing SilverStripe member system., (*1)
What it provides
-
Loads the Facebook PHP SDK., (*2)
-
Provides $FacebookLoginLink template variable to generate a link to login to
Facebook. Upon clicking the link and being redirected back to your application
the SilverStripe Member::currentUser()
will be populated with a Member
instance linked to the users Facebook profile., (*3)
<% with CurrentMember %>
$Name $Avatar(small)
<% end_with %>
Installation
composer require "wilr/silverstripe-facebookconnect" "dev-master"
Register your website / application
with Facebook., (*4)
Set your configuration through the SilverStripe Config API. For example I keep
my configuration in mysite/_config/facebookconnect.yml
file:, (*5)
FacebookControllerExtension:
app_id: 'MyAppID'
api_secret: 'Secret'
Update the database by running /dev/build
to add the additional fields to
the Member
table and make sure you ?flush=1
when you reload your website., (*6)
<a href="$FacebookLoginLink">Login via Facebook</a>
You can also access the Facebook PHP SDK in your PHP code.., (*7)
// https://developers.facebook.com/docs/php/FacebookSession/4.0.0
$session = Controller::curr()->getFacebookSession();
For more information about what you can do through the SDK see:, (*8)
