The features and possible plugin options are great.
Only a bit awkward thing is the download, since you're considered a customer, but well, at least no payment details had to be given.
The only thing I am really missing to be able to use it, is a notification option for commenters to be notified of future comments.
- It takes time to register each key for every login type (not mentioning the loginradius key itself). It could be that those keys are mandatory by the login service sites and not by loginradius though; i don't know.
- It alters the joomla core users table (which is already rather ill advised), but does NOT put it back when you uninstall this.
Hi e_builds,
Thanks for reviewing our extension Social Login.
1) The keys are required by ID Providers as per their terms of use, so we can't do much about that. However, the advantage of using your own keys is that when a user logs in, s/he sees your website name on the login page instead of LoginRadius.
2) This is the first version of our Social Login extension and we are working hard to further improve it. Regarding your second issue about altering the Joomla core users table, we add the additional column in order to save each provider's ID for user authentication. Once a user logs in the first time with an ID provider, we save that information in this column and reference it each time the user logs in going forward. If you delete this column after uninstalling Social Login, then you will lose all Social Login data collected thus far. The readme.txt file that comes with the extension specifies information about this additional column. In the next version of our extension, the admin will be able to choose whether to keep or delete this column during uninstallation.
Please let us know if you have any more suggestions at hello@loginradius.com. We'd love to hear from everyone! :)
Thanks,
LoginRadius Team
- Enough options to customize
- Decent mootools effect settings (not too slow), though I tweaked it a bit. :-)
- Style happens to be very neutral and immediatly useable for my site!
- Has tablinks!!! Could've only hoped for that!
(=to be able to link direcly to a tab in a page).
- This is my choice for BETTER followup for a 1.7 Tabs & Sliders!
Not mentioning all the configuration options.
-DB has to be installed a bit weirdy, but it works
- it takes up a bit of space (no icons, etc..)
- .. well in stead of repeating , just check the other reviews here; I agree with most..
Looking forward to new releases :-)
- mp4's are default played by quicktime (though this can be altered by template)
- mp4's played by the embedded flvmediaplayer are not streamed, but downloaded and then played. This is a major problem since flv is shortcoming as container for the latest H.264 codec standard. (Check Adobe site for this)
This should be a guideline to the Joomla developers for their core category list / blog layout!!!!
I don't know if it uses other scripts, but I don't like big scripts..
Otherwise this would be a very simple and nice plugin!
