CB Connect 5.0 now supports 8 social networks

cbconnect50Not one, two or three, but eight social networking sites are supported with the latest CB Connect 5.0 release!

Let your users sign-up and login to your website using credentials from any one of the following social networking sites: Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Windows live, Googe +, Instagram, Foursquare or GitHub.

This is by far the most complete social networking integration solution available for Joomla (1.5, 2.5 and 3.x) / CB (1.9) as it not only supports login and registration using credentials from 8 social networks, but it also lets you:

  • store social networking profile data in Community Builder fields
  • place users in Joomla ACL groups based on social network
    e.g., users signing up using Instagram can be placed in Registered and special Instagram group
  • override Community Builder workflow settings
    e.g., users signing in using their Foursquare credentials are automatically confirmed not needed moderator approval
  • redirect new users to page based on social network
    e.g., Github credential signups are redirected to a special welcoming page

You can also integrate the following social network specific applications as CB fields on your user profiles:

  • Facebook social plugins (comments, facepile, like-recommend-send buttons, activity feed and recommendations)
  • Twitter widgets (tweet and follow buttons)
  • Google plugins (+1 and share buttons and Google badge)
  • Linked in plugin (shared button) 

CB Connect 5.0 is available to all Professional and Developer members and as of today it is also available to Advanced members replacing the CB Facebook and CB Twitter connect plugins which are now discontinued.
