Hello ccMixters!

We have enabled Facebook login on this site.

How to use it:

When you are logged out of ccMixter you’ll see a little FB blue button at the top of the screen.

Click on that button and tell FB it’s ok to share your FB profile with us.

What this means:

Privacy - FB does not get any information from ccM about you other than you are using the ccM site. We don’t get anything from FB except the email address you use in your FB profile and other public stuff. As of this writing we’re ignoring everything but that email address.

The first time you use this feature depends on how much we already know about you:

You have never created an account on ccM

You’ll be asked to pick a ccMixter user name and we’ll create an account here and attach your future FB logins here to that account. Welcome!!

You have exactly one ccM account and the email in that account matches the email in your FB profile

You’ll be logged into ccM and taken to your ccM profile page.

You have more than one ccM account and at least one of those matches the email in your FB profile

You’ll be taken to a screen where you can pick which ccM account you want to ‘attach’ to your FB login here. We’ll use that the next time you login via FB.

You have one or more ccM account and none of the emails match the email in your FB account

You will be treated like a user who never created an account here (see above) and you will not be able to use the FB login feature to access any of those accounts

For all cases above:

The next time you log in via FB we’ll take you right to your ccM profile!

Enjoy!


ps: It goes without saying that, like with any new feature, there are bound to be bugs/glitches. If you happen to run into one it would be really helpful to use the “contact site administrator” link at the bottom to let us know.

UPDATE As you can see below we seem to be having issues on some versions of IE. Also seems Chrome is way more reliable.

to enable it when you not have the right email adress simply log in once with your old one and change it to the right one in your profile :)

I got a red box with [object Error] in it in IE, but worked ok in Chrome.

And another Datenkraken added to ccmixter. :( Thanks to RequestPolicy neither Google nor Facebook know that I’m coming here but not everybody uses this plugin.

Did you think about using Piwik for user tracking and adding the Facebook code only to the login page?
