Facebook Connect Integration Module
===================================

[](#facebook-connect-integration-module)

Maintainer Contact
------------------

[](#maintainer-contact)

- Will Rossiter <will (at) fullscreen (dot) io>

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- SilverStripe 3.1

Overview
--------

[](#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.

### What it provides

[](#what-it-provides)

- Loads the Facebook PHP SDK.
- 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.

```

	$Name $Avatar(small)

```

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require "wilr/silverstripe-facebookconnect" "dev-master"

```

[Register your website / application](https://developers.facebook.com/apps/?action=create)with Facebook.

Set your configuration through the SilverStripe Config API. For example I keep my configuration in `mysite/_config/facebookconnect.yml` file:

```
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.

```
Login via Facebook

```

You can also access the Facebook PHP SDK in your PHP code..

```
// 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:

### Options

[](#options)

All the following values are set either via the Config API like follows

Config::inst()->update('FacebookControllerExtension', '$option', '$value')

Or (more recommended) through the YAML API

FacebookControllerExtension: option: value

### app\_id

[](#app_id)

Your app id. Found on the Facebook Developer Page.

### api\_secret

[](#api_secret)

Facebook API secret. Again, from your Application page.

### create\_member

[](#create_member)

Optional, default: true

Whether or not to create a `Member` record in the database with the users information. If you disable this, ensure your code uses $CurrentFacebookMember rather than $Member. Other access functionality (such as admin access) will not work.

### member\_groups

[](#member_groups)

Optional, default ''

A list of group codes to add the user. For instance if you want every member who joins through facebook to be added to a group `Facebook Members` set the following:

FacebookControllerExtension: member\_groups: - facebook\_members

### permissions

[](#permissions)

Optional, default 'email'

A list of permission codes you want from the user. Permission codes are listed on [developers.facebook.com](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/login).

Ensure you include email in your list if you require `create_member`.

### facebook\_fields

[](#facebook_fields)

Default 'email','first\_name','last\_name'

A list of fields you want to retrieve from Facebook for the user. Available fields are listed on [developers.facebook.com](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user).

Ensure you include email in your list if you require `create_member`.

### sync\_member\_details

[](#sync_member_details)

Optional, default true

Flag as to whether to replace user information (such as name) in your database with the values from Facebook.
