BTW: in connect.php for the liveid, the following line:
$liveid_return = SOCIAL_CONNECT_PLUGIN_URL . '/liveid/callback.php';
seemed to have problems… when I put the absolute path into the quoted portion, I was able to get the liveid icon to show, and it appears to authenticate.
HOWEVER, it still doesn’t create the account properly, so the liveID support really doesn’t work (for me).
What version of the plugin are you using? Have you tried running the diagnostics provided with the plugin ver 0.3? Try and see if it points you to what might be wrong.
Also, can you pls ensure the return URL you have provided on the Application created in Windows live is the same as this url – SOCIAL_CONNECT_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/liveid/callback.php’ (whatever that returns for you).
we’re using v0.3 it passes all the diagnostic stuff.
I don’t understand what you mean by “whatever that returns for you”
NOTE: I had to add the absolute path of the callback.php file into the connect.php source, otherwise the LiveID icon never showed. Do I need to add the absolute path into callback.php as well?? Or should I be putting a relative path into the Live.com application setup? Or am I completely confused?
Either way, LiveID does not work.
Lets say SOCIAL_CONNECT_PLUGIN_URL returns http://<your domain>/wp-content/plugins/social-connect for you. So the path would then be http://<your domain>/wp-content/plugins/social-connect/liveid/callback.php
When you create your Windows Live application, ensure that the return address you provide on the site while creating the application is the same.
Yes, that us how it is configured. Still no liveid working. Twitter, google, yahoo work….
Any more thoughts?
I have this message:
Windows Live ID: Checking for required mhash and mcrypt cryptographic extensions.
So I have disabled liveID ( I’m not an expert in PHP ).
Everything works great.
Have a good week.
my little site: http://www.techtoolgeek.com
I have the social connect plugin installed, but Windows Live does not seem to work.
I have:
Registered my app
Verified and published my app
have the key in social-connect’s settings
also have the return url set up
How do I spin off a Windows Live auth?
