INTRODUCTION ------------ This project is part of the Drupal Social Initiative (https://groups.drupal.org/social-initiative). Social Auth is part of the Social API. It provides a common interface for creating modules related to user registration/login through social networks' accounts. * This module defines a path /admin/config/social-api/social-auth which displays a table of implementers (modules to register/login through social networks' accounts). * It also provides a block Social Auth Login which contains links to login users through the enabled social networks' module clients * Alternatively, site builders can place (and theme) a link to user/login/{social_network} wherever on the site. This path are added by the implementers. For instance Social Auth Facebook will add the path user/login/facebook REQUIREMENTS ------------ This module requires the following modules: * Social API (https://www.drupal.org/project/social_api) INSTALLATION ------------ * Install as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module. See: https://www.drupal.org/node/1897420 for further information. CONFIGURATION ------------- * A table of implementers will be displayed at Administration » Configuration » Social API Settings » User authentication. However, it will be empty as we have not enabled an implementer yet. * You should install implementer modules to get this module start working. * You can place a Social Auth Login block at Administration » Structure » Block layout. * You can find a more comprehensive guide in the Social Auth documentation (https://www.drupal.org/node/2763731) UPDATES IN V2 ------------- * An important aspect is that Social Auth now has its own content entity, so data can be stored in database. * Unique IDs are now fetched from providers and are associated with a Drupal user. This allows a user to have multiple accounts from different providers associated to the same Drupal account.
