AutoLogin not working

kokoseq

Hi,

first of all, thanks for this plugin. It is exactly what I need. Unfortunately it is not working for me right now. I am using Version 2.0.18.8, jsConnect is working for my site (testing mode turned off), but when I install this plugin, nothing changes. I am not automatically logged in, I also tried to hide login buttons and they are still visible. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

No idea. I suppose you enabled it?

Do you have an example.

Hi, thanks for quick reply. It is enabled, of course:-) Is there anything else I have to do to make auto sign in working, except the plugin instalation and enable it? Do I have to make any changes to my code or forum configuration?

And I suppose that this:

$Configuration['Plugins']['jsConnectAutoSignIn']['HideConnectButton'] = TRUE;
$Configuration['Plugins']['jsConnectAutoSignIn']['HideSignIn'] = TRUE;

goes to config file right?

Thanks

sorry do you have an example? Like web page.

I'm not going to guess what the problem is.

Hy kokoseq,

I'am also looking for a solution for the autologin, ii can share with you the information i have so far.

• First need JsConnect, instald and enabled
• Then go and read this vanillaforums.com/blog/jsconnect-technical-documentation/ and read the doc on what you need.
• Then from here vanilla aperantlly provides the librarys vanillaforums.com/blog/help/implementing-jsconnect-single-signon-on/#libraries
• Then From here you cand beg an "example" https://github.com/vanillaforums/jsConnectJava
• And here i am also blocked because i really dont know what i have to put where and to modify what ...

Please if you fiind a solution and make it worke plase put here the code and probably we can make a "tutorial" for other newbe's

(i have vanilla 2.0.18.8 and a different Java Website (jboss+seam)

x00: well I am developing locally right now, so it is not uploaded on the internet... probably I could deploy it and than let you know, so you could have a look?

bogdan: well I am not asking about jsConnect here, as it is working on my site. If you can not make it work following tutorials you mentioned, you are probably not skilled in programming:-) I am asking about this plugin, which should perform auto login with first jsConnect provider available (which is my custom site currently). That is the thing, which is not working for me:-/

x00

it would certainly help especially if you have a custom site

you could use localtunnel or similar

http://progrium.com/localtunnel/

ok, you can go here: http://kdomestriha.pagekite.me/yii/strihani5/
that is my site. You can login there username: gogol password: gogol

forum can be found at http://kdomestriha.pagekite.me/yii/strihani5/forum

you will see that jsConnect is woring, autoconnect not. Do not know, if you will be able to find out anything of it anyway.. Thanks

two problems

1. the signin url is still localhost -> http://localhost/yii/strihani5/site/login (minor issue)

2. it should have the client_id attached in the query string. Without the client id can do nothing. It get the client_id from UserAuthenticationProvider table and AuthenticationKey field.

   I think this may be an issue with SignInUrl which need to be in the format http://your-site.com/login?redirect_to=http://your-site.com/entry/jsconnect?client_id=|id|&Target=%2Fwhere redirect_to is your own 301 redirect to forward and |id| is the client_id

   This should also be acceptable http://your-site.com/login?redirect_to=http://your-site.com/entry/jsconnect?client_id={AuthenticationKey}&Target={Target}. Without having to modify it, it should add the client_id/AuthenticationKey and Target.

   Obviously you adapt to your needs. If you are not cross site then you can shorten e.g.
   /login?redirect_to=http://your-site.com/entry/jsconnect?client_id={AuthenticationKey}&Target={Target}

   bare minimum supply client_id={AuthenticationKey} in the query string.

x00

in dashboard -> jsConnect

"Sign In Url" try

/yii/strihani5/forum/entry/jsconnect?client_id={AuthenticationKey}&Target={Target}

x00

having reviewed things, I decided to make some changes for a more forgiving, and more direct connect

http://vanillaforums.org/addon/jsconnectautosignin-plugin-0.1.5b

Hopefully that helps.

I may remove the need for the dependency on JsConnectPlugin soon.

kokoseq

x00, amazing, thanks for reply. I will try it tomorrow and let you know:-)

kokoseq

dear x00, new version of your plugin works without a need of editing my code. Thanks a lot! The problem probably was, that you did not write in any documentation, that you should provide client_id={AuthenticationKey}&Target={Target} in login URL as jsConnect itself did not require it. Anyway, thanks again!

I still have problem with hiding connect and sign in buttons. Tried to paste

$Configuration['Plugins']['jsConnectAutoSignIn']['HideConnectButton'] = TRUE;
$Configuration['Plugins']['jsConnectAutoSignIn']['HideSignIn'] = TRUE;

in forum config file, but nothing happened. Any ideas?

vrijvlinder

['HideConnectButton'] = TRUE

If only it worked that way would be great! reminds me of [incantation]=TRUE

You are better off hiding it with css, try these :

.Box.GuestBox,.Entry.SingleEntryMethod{display:none;}

peregrine

there is a :

I think you might try (it may be a bit counterintuitive--

$Configuration['Plugins']['jsConnectAutoSignIn']['HideConnectButton'] = "";
or
$Configuration['Plugins']['jsConnectAutoSignIn']['HideConnectButton'] = FALSE;


then it will display none :  ConnectButton


---

Plugins.jsconnectAutoSignIn.HideSignIn

$Configuration['Plugins']['jsConnectAutoSignIn']['HideSignIn'] = "";
or
$Configuration['Plugins']['jsConnectAutoSignIn']['HideSignIn'] = FALSE;

and then it will hide the signin anchor.

kokoseq

cool, thanks again guys! Now I am facing last problem - when I sign of my page, how to automatically sign of from the forum? Now, when I sign of my page, I stay signed of on forum, which is not behavior I want :-/

Easiest way is to use the forum signout link, with the Target pointing to the site sign out.

Or you could delete the vanilla cookie.

reality check by x00.

it is not counter intuitive.

it is intuitive, i stand corrected, I believe. i probably shouldn't have commented here since I haven't tried it.

TRUE to hide....
