uLogin is a free 3rd party login system for vBulletin, wordpress and more.

i am not the author nor did i develop this product in any way.

the control panel part is currently in russian as is the main website of this product.

it does work for english although there are no english downloads for this product, i will translate the backend part here shortly and re-release.

the goods
automatic registration and login for the following sites:
facebook
twitter
google
openID
last FM
linked In
Live ID
sound cloud
steam
flickr
vimeo
youtube

and a few various random russian sites, since it is a russian product.

you can find out more at http://uLogin.ru


the bads
*Edit* can not link existing accounts in any way
users can not choose their username (it will auto generate the name based on the username of the account they sign in with)

if a user logs in with facebook one time, and twitter the next it will create another account.

if the same email has been used already (the email assigned to the account they login with) exp: the email for bot twitter and facebook is test@test.com
and the user logs in with each not only does it create 2 accounts it changes the email to somthing with numbers IE: test25@test.com and same thing for usernames already taken, just adds numbers.

i just stumbled across this one day and it seemed promising, i try contacting them to provide english support but never heard back, although with a little digging, im not 100% sure this is the same source but i found a uLogin opensource project.

http://ulogin.sourceforge.net/ maybe one of our well know coders, could get something going with that

this does work with vb4 also, if someone translates this before i have time to translate it, then please release it and i will add it to the first post, thanks

also i have not tried this latest version version 1.3 so they may have changed the stuff i listed under "the bads" feel free to report the changes if any =)

i can confirm this works on vb420 PL3

be sure you do the template edit in the txt file included

I've banned hundreds of bots in the last six months and most came with a .ru email.

Funny how this thing pops up a " ulogin.ru needs access to your stuff"

I'm not saying this thing is tainted, but sure is strange is all.

[RyanFabbro]

it needs access cause all the social connect stuff is on there site, if you would like to have a go with creating an app on each site and editing the source files that uLogin hosts take a look at the sourceforge link i listed.

although i have had a chance to go over those files yet, but it shouldnt be to hard to get something running on your own domain

[BirdOPrey5]

There is no way to know what uLogin.ru is doing with your usernames and passwords- No way I would trust a mod like this. I urge extreme caution before installing such a mod.

i am not the author nor did i develop this product in any way.

Do you have permission to post it? Who is the author? Is it licensed to be freely distributed?

[RyanFabbro]

if you look back in the first post, the source files that the russian website uses are open source, and all the files that they use are hosted on sourceforge.

i dont like this either, thats why i dont use it.

i only shared cause i know there are people who would like this, and also gave me a chance to share those sourceforge files, so maybe sombody could make a product out of it, that only uses the users website and the corresponding social network.

i plan on tinkering with the source files to see what i am able to come up with, but again as for this product even i dont recommend using it, due to all that i have listed under "the bads" and as BOP says, who knows what kind of data uLogin.ru is taking from this.

if you absolutley cant wait for one of our members to come up with something, then use it but i feel, myself or another member may be able to come up with something that is only between the product installers website, and the corresponding social network

@Bop5, I must def agree with you..

My StopForumSpam is blocking this product all the way! After contacting them they gave me more surprising notes about the Host... and after a few search online I found out that the people behind the other product of uLogin is not pretty popular online, plust a few other incidents they have had online, and thats why I simply cant install the product..

But what an amazing and easy way to login to a vBulletin forum with this product! The Idea behind it is simply genius! I wish I had the time to make this to a real vBulletin Product, with only a few Social Logins......

@RyanFabbro, Thanks a lot for your great work on vBulletin bro.. Proud of you!
