How to use this plugin

1. Download Opauth CakePHP plugin and place it at your CakePHP Plugin directory. Or via Git: Assuming ` APP` is the directory where your CakePHP app resides, it’s usually ` app/` from the base of CakePHP:

   cd APP/Plugin
   git clone git://github.com/uzyn/cakephp-opauth.git Opauth
   
   cd Opauth
   git submodule init
   git submodule update
   

2. Add this line to the bottom of your app’s ` Config/bootstrap.php`:

   <?php
   CakePlugin::load('Opauth', array('routes' => true, 'bootstrap' => true));
   

   Overwrite any Opauth configurations you want after the above line.

3. Load strategies onto Strategy/ directory. Append configuration for strategies at your app’s ` Config/bootstrap.php` as follows:

   <?php
   CakePlugin::load('Opauth', array('routes' => true, 'bootstrap' => true));
   
   // Using Facebook strategy as an example
   Configure::write('Opauth.Strategy.Facebook', array(
      'app_id' => 'YOUR FACEBOOK APP ID',
      'app_secret' => 'YOUR FACEBOOK APP SECRET'
   ));
   

4. Go to http://path_to_your_cake_app/auth/facebook to authenticate with Facebook, and similarly for other strategies that you have loaded.

5. After validation, user will be redirected to Router::url(‘/opauth-complete’) with validated auth response data retrievable available at $this->data. To route a controller to handle the response, at your app’s Config/routes.php, add a connector, for example:

   <?php
   Router::connect(
      '/opauth-complete/*',
      array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'opauth_complete')
   );
   

   You can then work with the authentication data at, say ` APP/Controller/UsersController.php` as follows:

   <?php // APP/Controller/UsersController.php:
   class UsersController extends AppController {
      public function opauth_complete() {
          debug($this->data);
      }
   }
   

   Note that this CakePHP Opauth plugin already does auth response validation for you with its results available as a boolean value at $this->data[‘validated’].

How about a sample?

Sure. Simply download this CakePHP app and set it up with CakePHP v2.x library.

Once it is set up, you should see: (Homepage screenshot)

After authentication, this is what you should be getting: (Callback screenshot)
