I am trying to implement facebook Connect to my cakephp Application. i am using Nick's Facebook Plugin.
I wanna implement it this way
What i have done - I have followed the instruction of Nick to implement it and when i click Login - it connects to my app. but i dont understand how to create a username and password associated with the Fb Connect Id. and user it against the FB token.
Apparently I'm doing the same thing a little before you... ;-)
Here's a method for Facebook login I'm using (slightly redacted and annotated):
public function facebook($authorize = null) {
App::import('Lib', 'Facebook.FB');
$Fb = new FB();
$session = $Fb->getSession();
// not logged into Facebook and not a callback either,
// sending user over to Facebook to log in
if (!$session && !$authorize) {
$params = array(
'req_perms' => /* the permissions you require */,
'next' => Router::url(array('action' => 'facebook', 'authorize'), true),
'cancel_url' => Router::url(array('action' => 'login'), true)
);
$this->redirect($Fb->getLoginUrl($params));
}
// user is coming back from Facebook login,
// assume we have a valid Facebook session
$userInfo = $Fb->api('/me');
if (!$userInfo) {
// nope, login failed or something went wrong, aborting
$this->Session->setFlash('Facebook login failed');
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'login'));
}
$user = array(
'User' => array(
'firstname' => $userInfo['first_name'],
'lastname' => $userInfo['last_name'],
'username' => trim(parse_url($userInfo['link'], PHP_URL_PATH), '/'),
'email' => $userInfo['email'],
'email_validated' => $userInfo['verified']
),
'Oauth' => array(
'provider' => 'facebook',
'provider_uid' => $userInfo['id']
)
);
$this->oauthLogin($user);
}
This gives me an array with all the user details I could grab from Facebook and invokes ::oauthLogin
, which either logs the user in with the given information or asks the user to fill in missing details and/or creates a new user record in the database. The most important part you get from the Facebook API is the $userInfo['id']
and/or email address, either of which you can use to identify the user in your database. If you're using the AuthComponent, you can "manually" log in the user using $this->Auth->login($user_id)
, where $user_id
is the id of the user in your own database.
private function oauthLogin($data) {
$this->User->create();
// do we already know about these credentials?
$oauth = $this->User->Oauth->find('first', array('conditions' => $data['Oauth']));
if ($oauth) {
// yes we do, let's try to log this user in
if (empty($oauth['User']['id']) || !$this->Auth->login($oauth['User']['id'])) {
$this->Session->setFlash('Login failed');
}
$this->redirect('/');
}
// no we don't, let's see if we know this email address already
if (!empty($data['User']['email'])) {
$user = $this->User->find('first', array('conditions' => array('email' => $data['User']['email'])));
if ($user) {
// yes we do! let's store all data in the session
// and ask the user to associate his accounts
$data['User'] = array_merge($data['User'], $user['User']);
$data['Oauth']['user_id'] = $user['User']['id'];
$this->Session->write('Oauth.associate_accounts', $data);
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'oauth_associate_accounts'));
}
}
// no, this is a new user, let's ask him to register
$this->Session->write('Oauth.register', $data);
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'oauth_register'));
}
