Installation Instructions

• Download the latest version of A3M
• Extract to a folder accessible on your webserver (/ or something like /a3m/ )
• Create a database by importing a3m_database.sql script found it root folder of package
• Configure /applicaion/config/config.php & database.php to match your CI setup (domain + database credentials)
• Modify .htaccess file if your app location is different than / (example: domain.com/a3m/)
• Configure /applicaion/config/account/* files to reflect your setup (reCAPTCHA, twitter, facebook, openid providers, etc;)

Twitter configuration:

Twitter site (https://dev.twitter.com/apps)

• Create an App and note down the "Consumer key" and "Consumer secret" values
• Callback URL: https://www.yoursite.com/account/connect_twitter/
• Allow this application to be used to Sign in with Twitter [X]

A3M

• Edit application/config/account/twitter.php and insert your consumer key and consumer secret.

Testing on localhost

• localhost and 127.0.0.1 will not work. Use your internal IP (eg. 192.168.1.10)

Facebook configuration:

Facebook Developers site (https://developers.facebook.com/apps)

• Create new App
• Note down "App ID" and "App Secret" values
• Tick "Website with Facebook Login" URL: http://www.yoursite.com

A3M

• Edit application/config/account/twitter.php and insert your consumer key and consumer secret.

Testing on localhost

• Facebook login seems to only work on a live environment (see donjakobo#3)

Google / OpenID configuration:

• Those should work out of the box. No further configuration needed.

Testing on localhost

• Some webservers (XAMMP) have outdated certificates. If you get a Fatal error: Call to a member function addExtension() on a non-object in error you must do the following:

  edit application/helpers/account/Auth/Yadis/ParanoidHTTPFetcher.php and add curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); after line 140 (before curl_exec($c);)

  WARNING: DO NOT DO THIS ON YOUR PRODUCTION/LIVE WEB SERVER AS THIS LEAVES YOUR SERVER VURNERABLE TO MITM ATACKS

Yahoo! configuration:

• Those should work out of the box. No further configuration needed.

Testing on localhost

• Testing on localhost works without any changes.

Note

• Please fork and help out! Only with your help will this keep growing and getting better.
• Note that twitter doesn't work if your base url is localhost and facebook won't work if your base url is 127.0.0.1. Therefore ensure that your base url is something like yoursite.com. One way to do that is to simply map the hostname your want to 127.0.0.1 on your development machine. Your twitter callback URL should take into account whether or not you have enabled SSL in your a3m config
• https://domain.com/account/connect_twitter (SSL Enabled)
• http://domain.com/account/connect_twitter (SSL Disabled)

Configuring this wrongly will result in an EpiOAuthUnauthorizedException exception being thrown.
