signup and login with google, facebook, twitter, github et al

[drgorb]

With all the online profiles I allready have, it would be nice to being able to reuse one of them to create a profile on gravity.

maybe G+ and Facebook are not the best choice as they are competitors but twitter and Github definitely are and OpenID should be an option.

Good idea! Thanks for the input!

With current useraccounts package it's fairly easy to implement: https://github.com/meteor-useraccounts/core/blob/master/Guide.md#3rd-party-login-services-configuration

Question is - will it merge multiple social logins/signups from same user together? Well, there's package for it: https://atmospherejs.com/splendido/accounts-meld

[pmuens]

Thanks. I would highly recommend the merging process. Otherwise users may not remember that the already have an account or have already signed in with a different provider.

Is someone working on it?

[mattvella07]

I completed the closed issue #55 that allowed users to link their social media accounts to their profile, but this is different. So I don't think anyone is working on this one.

[zaverichintan]

That was to link the accounts after signing in and adding links to the text box. This is regarding sign up and login. Correct me if I am wrong

[mattvella07]

Yes

[mattvella07]

If you want to work on this one, I came across these packages that you could probably use:

• https://atmospherejs.com/meteor/accounts-facebook
• https://atmospherejs.com/meteor/accounts-google

[zaverichintan]

hey, Kindly create application in github, and respective facebook and google account so that meteor can use its auth key .

[pmuens]

Great! Could you provide the keys via Slack? BTW. Do you have heroku? Then I can add you and you can deployments anytime.

[zaverichintan]

Yes, I am there on heroku my ID is zaveri_chintan@rediff.com . There's one issue here, how should I add {{loginbuttons}} in template or in router something like this

AccountsTemplates.configure({ defaultTemplate: 'Auth_page', defaultLayout: 'App_body', defaultContentRegion: 'main', defaultLayoutRegions: {} });

I am working around with client/lib/accounts/config.js and refering http://guide.meteor.com/accounts.html

[pmuens]

Have added you as a collaborator on Heroku.

[pmuens]

We're using the useraccounts package so simply adding the meteor related packages should do the trick.

[zaverichintan]

It's not happening that way. We need to add it to our view part by adding it in template or in routes.

[pmuens]

Then I would add it to the template rather than the route

[zaverichintan]

Oh where will I find the sign in template? We are using accounts package and just configuring the messages.
