Coly010 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Has anyone implemented a Facebook login for their game and if they have can they explain the process that they go through to register a facebook user to the game? After reading the Facebook docs, I'm somewhat confused. I think I could possibly log a user into the game, but creating a DB row for them in the users table, not overly sure about. Just looking for some pointers on this, maybe if someone has a link to a useful tutorial that would be great! Colum Quote
Seker Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 I had this done on DW. What I did was add a column to the users table. If a user registered with FB or added FB to their already existing account, it used the FB API to update the corresponding column to their FB ID. Then, when they go to log in using FB in the future, it would just cross check the ID of the FB account they're logged into with existing FB-linked accounts in the game. Quote
Coly010 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks [MENTION=68886]Seker[/MENTION] ! Makes it seem a lot easier now to implement! :) Quote
Zettieee Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks seker! Even thought I'm slightly off topic. Do I need to make my game a facebook "app" to use facebook login? And is they an approval system for apps? Quote

Sim Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 I'll write a little sample up later tonight if you havnt figured it out by then. Quote
Coly010 Posted April 18, 2015 Author Posted April 18, 2015 I'll write a little sample up later tonight if you havnt figured it out by then. Nah I think I get it now Quote
Coly010 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Posted April 19, 2015 You get it working? Was working on the campaign mode so didn't get a chance to try it yet, once I have time I will. Im trying as many ways to try attract active users, and a fb login takes away the pain of the register form for some potential players Quote
