JFBConnect usage on mobile app

JFBConnect has multiple ways to be used in a mobile app. You can use the following tag anywhere on your site to show the login buttons for specific providers, along with a custom image button (which can be optimized for mobile):That will load the mobile_login.png button from /media/sourcecoast/images/provider/facebook/mobile_login.png and the twitter directory, respectively.

That avoids using the SCLogin altogether which gives you full control. Of course, you can use the SCLogin module instead and configure the custom login buttons in there as well as different styling options.

I hope that helps answer your question, but if you need anything else, please let me know.

Thanks,

Oh, sorry. I'm not sure about that. Are you using Joomla at all to load your site within the App? If not, there's not much we can do to help there. I don't know much about Objective C or Swift development that's done for an iPhone app. Many websites have great mobile views that work on all types of phones and that's what we'd recommend as well, but each site has it's own unique needs.

If you are using Joomla, let me know a bit more about what you're trying to accomplish. If not, I'm not sure how we can help, but if you have specific questions, just let me know.

Thanks,

Are you using the Joomla user management system somewhere in your app.php file? JFBConnect could be called if your loading the entire Joomla *CMS*. We'd need more than just the framework to be loaded, because we rely on the Session storage, User Manager, Plugin System and various other aspects that are only a part of the CMS, which is built on top of the Joomla framework.

If you're using Joomla's CMS under the app.php file, you should be able to call our login code, like:
index.php?option=com_jfbconnect&task=login.authenticate&provider=facebook
Then, the user will be logged into the CMS and you can do whatever you want with the JUser object to authenticate into your own system or whatever you're doing.

I hope that helps explain some things, but I honestly think there's a bit more work there than you might think. I could be wrong though.

Thanks,
Alex
