RPX Drupal Module

Sat, 02/06/2010 - 18:47 | by nathan

The RPX module implements the RPX single sign on service from JanRain. RPX allows website users to register or login to a site using their logins for popular 3rd party services such Facebook, Twitter and Google. With RPX installed, Drupal site administrators can allow their users to login or register an account with just a few clicks using one of these 3rd party services.

If you are using the RPX module, please leave a comment below to let me know. All bug reports and feature requests should be added to the issue queue.

A few questions regarding the RPX Sign In module

I am setting up a Drupal-based website and, from what I read, I believe RPX and the RPX Sign In module are a great solution for user log in.

Your roadmap lists some functionality that will be available in 6.x-1.3 that I am interested in (extended field mapping). Are you able to say when you expect 6.x-1.3 will be released?

When using the RPX demo site I noted a couple of issues that you may be able to comment on:

  1. It took up to 4 or 5 seconds during authentication. During that time I was presented with a blank browser page. Is 4 or 5 seconds a typical delay? If so, is it possible to consider including a timer or similar so that users know something is happening in the backgroud?

  2. I attempted to log in to the demo site using my Facebook and Twitter accounts and a red message appeared at the top of the demo page saying that the provider did not provide an email address and asked me to enter the email address below. I could not see a field to enter the requested email address. Is this a configuration issue or perhaps a bug?

Thanks in anticipation.

I was going to release 1.3

I was going to release 1.3 last weekend, but some issues came up in the issue queue.

  1. The 4-5 second delay is typical, but is outside the control of the module. You'll notice when you see the white screen, that the url in the address bar point to rpxnow.com, so the delay is on their server.

  2. This is definitely a bug. I must have been introduced in the last few days. I'll post the bug to the issue queue.

I have the same problem as

I have the same problem as the 2nd issue above. But: I have 2 sites, same Drupal version and same RPX-settings. One of them provides an email field on the Complete Registration form, the other doesn't.

Why do I need to get API key?

I would like to use this RPX module in my drupal website. Why do I need API key? Why don't we have direct access to social network site user credentials(Like facebook, twitter)?

If RPX website goes down in any means then what will happen to my user registration and log in?

Could you please guide me to get out off this?

You can shoot a mail to g.sangeetharao@gmail.com

Thanks Sangeetha Rao
