Local Wordpress Minibar Login Authentication
How do I use my registered wordpress users for authentication in the minibar instead of facebook?
-
In the third tab of the minibar page you get to configure the code snippet. Make sure to select 'I will use my own user login system' and when you click 'Get Code' the auth section should be replaced with the following...
auth: {
id: '<?php echo wp_get_current_user()->ID; ?>',
name: '<?php echo wp_get_current_user()->display_name; ?>'
},
Hope this helps.Comment -

I’m
undecided
when i pasted that in it seems to halt the site from loading. I'll leave it in place if you want to see what i mean. http://www.outsidersinn.net -

Whoops, sorry. I didn't reread my post. The code interpreter for the comment converted the hyphen (-) to a question mark for some reason. Let's try without the code markup...
auth: {
id: '<?php echo wp_get_current_user()->ID; ?>',
name: '<?php echo wp_get_current_user()->display_name; ?>'
},
Hopefully that works :-S -

I see the difference in the commands, but the site still just turns black. I didn't upgrade to WP3.x yet , so i just want to make sure it's my site and not the login auth command.

1In the prior version of the minibar, we supported the choice of login provider, but current version is only Facebook. Apologies for any misunderstanding.
We chose to do this given the power of the social graph tied to the social features we were adding, and also simply to make it easier to provide consistent functionality and presentation independent of platform. -

Not all of my site visitors want to use facebook. So that means if I use BigDoor, I have to force them to join facebook. This means I cannot use BigDoor for my wordpress instance since I can't require everyone be a member of facebook to be a member of my site. -

Sorry Jason, it's true that this is currently a limitation of the MiniBar widget. I apologize that you can't use that in the way that you were hoping.
I'd like to ask: is your preference to have the MiniBar functionality as it stands right now, but tied to your local WP ids? Or are there other features you would be looking to incorporate into your site?
thanks,

Yes. And perhaps have the ability for a single login so that they can participate in the gamification of the site immediately rather than be excluded unless they sign up to facebook. I am not interested in driving traffic to facebook in that way by requiring a signup at facebook to fully use my site, but absolutely if they already happen to have a profile they can have that as an option.

Perhaps a choice of logging in with Facebook or Wordpress (Twitter, etc) then tie the GUID to the type of login and save that to the db. I would assume the minibar wouldn't be able to get the profile data from WP though.
Jason - are you going to use the API? If not, I don't think the MiniBar will be of much use without Facebook (Like, Share, etc). What kind of actions do you want to give points for? I'm thinking of working on a WP plugin but the learning curve is steep at this point. -

I’m
not gonna use =/
Would just like to add in that I would like the addition of using Wordpress ids instead of Facebook. Running a site that follows certain video games it's common most people like to remain anonymous or to be just associated with their "tag." Forcing users to use their Facebook login wouldn't really catch on in my niche. I was planning on using this, but I don't see how it would be worth it if most of my members don't use it.
Users can earn points by making comments, rating posts, updating profiles, etc.
Just another supporter of the option for Wordpress ids. -
