This module uses Janrain (formerly RPX) and Janrain (formerly RPX) helps users sign-in to your website using an account they already have at:
* AOL
* Yahoo!
* MySpace
* Windows Live
* PayPal
* Hyves
* Verisign
* MyOpenID
* OpenID
* Flickr
* Blogger
* Livejournal
* Wordpress
* Netlog
So your users can bypass the extensive process of joining the site and can use their existing accounts into your site, and you can see username, email into your User manager through joomla admin.
Joomla admins will receive the email notifying user has sign-up using the RPX mod. So admin can track how many users used this mod on your site to register.
* Supports Community Builder (CB) and Jomsocial profiles, so now new user register via this mod will be added to your Community Builder (CB) and Jomsocial components as well.
* Imports user photo from the login provider site, if available, and adds as avatar to Community Builder (CB) or Jomsocial, if any of these two installed on your site.
NEW UPDATE INCLUDES :
* Asking for login email for the providers like Twitter, LinkedIn who does not return any email id

The software works for the most part but there are multiple issues. The software redirects users to others pages after they log in rather then returning them to the prior page.
The current issue I face is the login overlay does not display properly on mobile devices. I spoke with Janrain regarding this issue and they informed me this is a known issue but they updated their software 5 months ago and the reason it does not work correctly with this extension is the author has not updated the software even after being informed it was needed.
We posted a request on the author's forum 3 weeks ago but had no reply despite bumping the request last week. The author has replied to others during the same time period. It seems this extension is no longer supported.

It is updated every time we found an update in joomla or janrain. And its updated right now as well as per current joomla and janrain updates.
Yes, the first download costing 6,99 € is not so high but it doesn't get you very far, and not very much, and there are a lot of limitations to it.
You are directed to another site to get the API and the free version application that you have to create does not have the full features unless you pay some more from 10$ per month for Plus version to 1000$ + per year. Quite tricky, just not the right way to do it. No wonder the site doesn't seem right.

Love the mod; make single sign on SUPER easy!!!
Facebook integration was a nightmare and I suggest you NOT using this module for FB. For one, instructions on inputing the BASE URL on Facebook is confusing and easily repairable with more explicit instructions. Even then, you'll have to change it to a designated URL in Facebook to other than your own URL for this to work.
As for Twiiter, Linkedin, Google, OpenID, Yahoo, and AOL, it works fine without much hassle. I did get a token error message once, but it appears to be OK now. The other concern is that I feel they are using this module to track your site's traffic.
So in the end, I'm using it, but used another component for Facebook Login and added a module for OTHER logins separate.

Please check your Facebook Application settings. There should be some mistake that creates this problem.
It's not the problem of the module. Please correct the configs of your facebook application.
Facebook works fine with this mod. You can check it on the demo site http://joomla.thakkertech.com/
JanRain is veru powerful and this module alowed to let my visitors log in with Google, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin in just one hour (55 minutes setting Janrain, 5 minutes setting the module).
Support
I got problems with Twitter and linkeding sign in and they answered me in 5 minutes and modified module the same day.
This module and team are a completely reliable

I managed to install this module on joomla 1.6 with no issues. It woks great even with a free janrain account using 6 networks - google, facebook, twitter, yahoo, linked in, and open id.
Under $10 a real bargain for what it does.
- simple install through extension manager
- set up your janrain account
- Enter details into RPX module
- wait for new users.
Only thing I would like is the option to turn admin emails off every time someone registers.
Thumbs up, thank you
I cant believe it doesn't have more reviews

I thought this look quite impresive - okay the demo page doesn't really functioned. But I got logged in on their website and ordered the extension for six dollar something - installed it and was presented with the option of purchasing a subscription for this log-in (Janrain) - okay a freeebie available - but severly limited. Tried to set it up for the most basic (like LinkedIn and Google - Facebook didn't function) - and everything seems okay - except when implementing EXACTLY as told in the limited user guide - an error immediately popped up (in the pop-up window) saying page cannot be found - sorry ... My advice don't waste your time (and money) on this - support is nil (if you don't buy the extra expensive subsriptions)and obviously the system doesn't not function at its best

The demo is working perfectly fine, also we are providing FREE support. Please look at the support forum here http://www.thakkertech.com/support/4-joomla-extensions-bug-report.html
We do not see any thread for support opened by you nor any transactions of purchase from you. Please do not post false review before purchase/asking for support.
I was looking for a really easy way for people to register with a Joomla site to open up more opportunities to engage with web visitors.
Without some sort of registration process, you don't have their contact details, and registration can be a long process that casual visitors are not interested in completing.
By offering visitors the ability to login using their existing Facebook / Google / Open ID / MySpace credentials, they connect to your site in a single click.
Needless to say, the mechanics behind this are complex. JanRain is a company that offers a single API to tie together all these disparate login systems.
What this brilliant module from Thakker does is allow you to set up a "unified" login for your Joomla site, using the (free) JanRain service.
It really is easy to do, taking a few seconds to install, and a minute or two to get a JanRain account and configure things.
Then a visitor can come to your site, and "login" even if they have not previously registered with a simple click.
If you do need support, I have found Thakker to be really excellent.
Highly recommended.

The JanRain/RPX sign in is a must for community sites. I've had a nightmare with the different Facebook Connect components and the lack of other ones. Getting JanRain to do all this is the best idea. This component works well at getting Jan Rain into Joomla. Even better, the developer of this module was highly responsive and even made some bespoke modifications on my request, within a few hours! Awesome.
Although the setup can be confusing, probably not to all but to me anyway, but i am noobish. I recieved mega support for a $1.00 product. The support staff went into my site and found the issues that i was having. The issues where not module related, it was my hosting server. They put me ontrack and i got it working perfectly!!!!
If you think $1.00 is to much for a module, then don't pick this one. To all others, if you think a dollar is a fair price I totally agree.
GOOD WORK
My respect to Thakker Technologies!!!
