Shared Sign In For Chinese Users?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I want to create an easier login / sign up for Chinese users. Lots of foreign user can use Facebook connect or even OpenID, but I'm wondering what sites (QQ? Sina Weibo?) in China might be integrated to create a sign in for Chinese users? I'd love to get some sort of module like that setup.

Ideas?

Why not use OpenID

hyperglide's picture

Hi Mark,

Have you look at the use of OpenID. I know there are newer technologies in development but that solutions is available for use.

Would need to verify if QQ, Weibo or any others subscribe to using their logins as credentials for a 3rd party website.

Good Luck!

As far as I know, Chinese

As far as I know, Chinese sites don't use OpenID. Weibo is probably the only one that might have the open technology to do this, but I haven't really studied the API much: http://open.weibo.com. It appears they use Oauth authorization.

Here's what it would take to

Here's what it would take to build this kind of module: http://open.weibo.com/connect for user authentification

Here's an implementation: http://service.zol.com.cn/user/login.php

Starting point

There a a variety of oauth modules for Drupal to start from. Whilst they don't seem to see particularly heavy use or development compared with some of the site specific ones these two look to be a likely starting point:

Weibo Sharebutton / 新浪微薄 分享按钮 Module

I haven't yet attacked the login stuff with Weibo, but I did manage to throw together a module for the Weibo Sharebutton / 新浪微薄 分享按钮: https://github.com/markwk/weibo_sharebutton

I just like Github better :)

Weibo Connect via oauthconnector module

Looks like oauthconnector module http://drupal.org/project/oauthconnector should work with Weibo. I am waiting on SINA app approval to test. 有没有人试了吗?

I've written the Drupal 6

I'm also interested in the QQ module. Do you plan on sharing it with the community?

Here's the code

Thanks for the code @andyhu. I look forward to seeing them released on d.o. soon :)

For now, I posted the code on github as I work on it:

D6 version not really finished yet

Honestly this is just some starter code for people to work on. I don't actually have any sites that use this yet. Maybe I will later. You should contact @andyhu if you want to see this happen, since this is his code ;)

user warning

Hi Mark Koester,
I use the tencent_weibo in my website, when I install the module,It show the info below
user warning: Table 'website.weibo_tencent_users' doesn't exist query: SELECT * FROM weibo_tencent_users WHERE uid = 1 in /var/www/website/htdocs/sites/all/modules/markwk-tencent_weibo-c3d852b/tencent_weibo.module on line 104.

How can I solve this problem

You'll have to hack on this

markwk's picture

You'll have to hack on this module. This module was posted for developers to work on.

If you are not a developer and you need this module, you should consider hiring someone (maybe me :-)

thanks
