I am currently working on trying to integrate MODx webusers with Facebook connect, I currently have the system set up to authenticate the user via facebook connect, if this is the first time the user has logged in it then creates a user within MODx allocated to a specific group.
Now what I want to do is using a snippet log the user in, I can’t use weblogin or webloginpe (I think) since the user will not entering their password or username. All authentication is done on the facebook side all I want to do is once that authentication comes back show MODx that the user is logged in so that document groups / user groups reconise the fact.
So what I am saying is, is there some system variable/ cookie / db that I can update once the user is authenticated.
Hope that make sense.

As far as I know there’s nothing ready-made.
Have a look at weblogin.processor.inc.php in snippets/weblogin/ from about line 186. You’d need to more or less duplicate the code from there minus any $_POST handling and perhaps the events.

Try:
<?php
$user_id = $facebook->require_login();
// if statement dealing with account creation this all works
else
{
login($user_id);
return '<span class="important">'.$nlxAdded.'</span>';}
function login($user) {
# process login
global $modx;
$username = $modx->db->escape(strip_tags($user));
$givenPassword = $modx->db->escape($user.'appendextraprivatetopassword']);
//$captcha_code = isset($_POST['captcha_code'])? $_POST['captcha_code']: '';
//$rememberme = $_POST['rememberme'];
// invoke OnBeforeWebLogin event
$modx->invokeEvent("OnBeforeWebLogin",
array(
"username" => $username,
"userpassword" => $givenPassword,
"rememberme" => $rememberme
));

Unless you are expecting plugins to work with your snippet and you provide code that acts on the return of these plugins in a consistent way (consistent with how weblogin handles them) there is no need to include the modx->invokeEvent() code in your snippet.
