Login with XING was created by consultnet

Hi,

I need to provide a login option for XING which is one of the biggest business network with 15 Mio. users worldwide. The code for XING can easily be generated on their developers site. I would like to integrate that into JFBConnect.

Would you mind to have a look at the snippet and tell me where to integrate this code (if possible) to make it available for my users? Generally I can only recommend to integrate XING into JFBConnect as especially in Germany almost everybody is using it.

<script type="xing/login">
{
  "consumer_key": "--- my secret key ---"
}
</script>
 
<script>(function(d) {
  var js, id='lwx';
  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
  js = d.createElement('script'); js.id = id; js.src = "https://www.xing-share.com/plugins/login.js";
  d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(js)
}(document));</script>

More information is also available here dev.xing.com/plugins/login_with

Regards,
Uwe

There's definitely more required than just adding the Javascript on the page. That may show the login button, but there's a lot of functionality that JFBConnect normally takes care of for actually performing the authentication and tying into Joomla.

To perform that integration, you'd need to create the following 2 files:
* /components/com_jfbconnect/libraries/provider/xing.php - File used for setting up OAuth2 request URLs and authenticating users
* /components/com_jfbconnect/libraries/profile/xing.php - File used for setting up how profile import works from Xing

That's how you get started, and you could take a look at the amazon.php files in the same directories to get an idea of what code is necessary. You'll likely need a developer to make any progress though, even though we've tried to make adding additional providers an easy proposition so that we can do so in future releases.

I hope that helps get you started. There's only limited help we could provide now to implement Xing. Integration with Xing is something we're planning for a release later this year. It's one of the only few networks that we still get requests for, beyond Yahoo (which is coming in the 6.3 release).

Thanks,
Alex
