5 star + 1 star more from my side.



This extension really do its work perfectly! And there customer support is also excellent! (the one additional star is for that:) )



A suggestion from my end is to also add netlog login in your list and create friend suggestion module also in which if people choose and login to their account they can select there friend list to send invitation to join to the site!

Thanks a lot for this gems in joomla's extension directory
This really is a great addon for Joomla, it lets you give your users the option of using a variety of Social networks to act as a hub so they can log into your site. Many extensions in the JED ..even the JED's own social login extension only lets you login using Facebook.



This does it all, I have added FB, Twit and Google to my site and it works flawlessly...it even adds the user to the Joomla tables properly.



However......



1. its a little confusing on the setup at first...but with a little reading and clicking you'll figure out how to add the app ids and api keys to your account...which is not on your site but stored on the account you create on their (loginradius) website.



2. There is no way to adjust padding or the style of the login module as it is pulled into an iframe from another source. You can buy other icon sets from them but they bill you monthly for an icon set...its not worth it, I understand why they do this is because they are hosting the script that generates the code to input into your iframe....great idea..but I dont need a 1 dollar a month bill just to get icons. I'll use the free ones.



3. as I mentioned above, there is no way to style the module at all, no class suffix ability so unless your site is white or grey, there will always be a display issue. You cant align the icons to the left/right or adjust them in any way.



you can however add a line of text above or below them, but the padding is HUGE and again there is no way to adjust.



4. There are login demos and buttons shown on the front page of their site that are not available for Joomla. They look slick with popups and overlays, but its not something designed for joomla, you can get additional icon sets or icon layouts but they cost between $1 and $2 a month. There is only one module layout and 3 icon sizes for Joomla.



5. no forum for support



6. no way to remove advertising tagline



7. The joomla login form doesn't have the ability to turn off lost user/pass or "create account" so in most cases it cannot be used in conjunction with any 3rd party user registration system since the "create account" link points directly to joomlas core registration



8. The Joomla login form provided doesn't use the styling of your joomla site, so it doesn't match.



9. No premium account to buy to gain everything in one package and remove advertising.



Due to these reasons above it makes the module difficult to reliably and seamlessly integrate into a live production site that has any custom styling to it at all.



The package works and works well, but lacks the flexibility to make visual design changes to create a smooth interface.

Terrific App



Posted on 20 June 2012
This app really works great and gives your visitors multiple login options. I had trouble with getting the facebook login to work and the developer was quick to respond. A couple of weeks later the developer even followed up with me to make sure I had it working. A++
I'v installed K2 component in my site and activate the reCaptcha for user registration,this is make a conflict with LoginRadius..I get this answer and solution from LoginRadius team,thank you very much for your support service..This is must have extension!!

Good with some Cons



Posted on 04 June 2012
Pros:

1) Does what they say.

2) Easy to configure instructions in their Site.

3) Analytic showing how many logged in from which site?



Cons:

1) Every time site loads, their app loads, sometimes it shows "problem loading page" in small box, only in the module position selected for this extension.

2) The boxes for Username n password wont appear exactly one below the other.it makes your site look ugly. it forces you to use joomla login module.

3) If you use this module with Joomla login module, u will see 2 log out buttons in your site.

4) There are no options at all in this module, not even module class suffix.

5) There are only two types of icon set to choose for social icons.

6) There is no forum in their site. Not a con but still it would have helped to discuss similar problems n configuring issues.
Owner's reply: Hi damnpradeep,
Thanks for your review. Please see our comments below:

1, 2 & 3. No one has reported these issues. Could you please provide more details so that we can investigate and resolve them for you? Depending on the Joomla Theme that you are using, it may require extra configuration but these issues should not be due to LoginRadius SaaS. Please email us at hello@loginradius.com.

4. As this module provides the Social Login functionality through our SaaS (Software as a Service) which runs on the cloud, the LoginRadius service is maintained from our end. However, we will add more customization options for our clients when we come out of private beta and become public.

5. We have added 5 icon sets and 5 login designs. Please see them in your LoginRadius account.

6. Yes, it is a good suggestion and we will be releasing the forum soon. We also offer 24/7 support so if you require any assistance, please contact us at hello@loginradius.com and our engineering team will respond immediately.

Thanks,
LoginRadius Team
Well, it was free, and works. What more can you ask for. . . documentation, yup has that too.



One thing I do not like is that you must configure this via the plugin, and insert it via a module. But I can deal with this.



The setup does take awhile, because you need to setup users, apps, keys etc with Facebook, Google, Twitter. This is required by Facebook, Google, etc and can not be avoided by the developer. They do however provide great step by step instructions with screen shots. I had no idea what I was doing (ok, just a little) and got it up and running in about 30 minutes.



I do have one issue with login redirecting to the home/root page, when it "should" just stay put on the page. The issue seems to be related to the lack of trailing "/" on the SEF URL's



I am very satisfied with this extension
I am surprised with the power of this loginradius solution. This extension is really useful. I totally recommend it.



Thank Loginradius Team for this so important work.
I installed the product because I wanted easy authentication through social networks. In the configuration process, however, it asked for an API-key from LoginRadius, so it seems that the plugin is not handling the authentication with the social networks directly but through a service of the manufacturer.

That means, LoginRadius not only gets your facebook and other API-keys through the configuration but also can trace every social activity on your website.



Total NoGo for me!
Owner's reply: Thanks for your feedback.

It seems like you misunderstood the concept. Let us summarize it:
1. The authentication happens on ID Providers website and a user enters his/her credentials on ID Providers website, not on LoginRadius. So we can not see or access user's credential or any critical information. We never have access to user's social account and can not perform any activities in his/her account without users consents.
2. We do not and will never track user activities on social networks as well as on client website. We only assist you with authentication process in current module.
3. After users consent, ID Providers deliver us user's profile data and we store these data in client database. This happens through a highly secure channel.
3. We do not have access to clients database and do not fetch any data/information from client website or database.

Please see our developer section for further technical details.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at hello@loginradius.com. We are available 24/7.

Thanks,
LoginRadius Team

too complicated



Posted on 11 May 2012
takes lots of time to get API from developer, at the end after adding API module is reporting that API is not correct.

There is not instructions that both plugin and module should be installed.

Not happy with this.

Thank you.
Owner's reply: Hi miloskorac - LoginRadius is based on the idea of simplifying the whole social login integration process and making even non-programmers to add this functionality to their website.

About getting API from ID Providers, its standard process that is required by ID Providers, so regardless you implement it by yourself or through LoginRadius, you have to spend time to get APIs from ID Providers and LoginRadius can not do much in this matter. To make this process quicker and easier, we have developed step by step documentation with screenshots for each ID providers, please see them in our developers section or under Social Login >> Provider Settings in your LoginRadius account.

Regarding plugin and module both installation - its mentioned in our developers section under Joomla Documentations, please see these two documents:

For Joomla 1.6 & higher: https://www.loginradius.com/developers/Plugins/joomla16module

For Joomla 1.5:
https://www.loginradius.com/developers/Plugins/joomla15module

We hope it answers your questions. Our support is available 24/7, so please feel free to send us an email if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
LoginRadius Team

The Best so Far



Posted on 09 May 2012
it wouldnt be fair if i didnt come and submit a review ,,i am honeslty impressed by this app , to be honest ,,its really wonderful and it works fine , they guide you as well to create applications on different social sites so you can make this SOCIAL LOGIN work ,,i HIGHLY recommend you to download this,,,for the following reasons :

-it'll boost your traffics up so just imagine how many persons can join your site with one click or use ur site with facebook for example .

-its against bots if i am not wrong specially if users sign up using facebook ,twitter,myspace,,,those sites are highly configured against Bots ,so you wont need no more CAPTCHA ,

- it works as well with JOMSOCIAL & COMMUNITY BUILDER , the ones i used n still use

-its all for free

do not waste your time or money
