EffectIO Profile Builder - Social Connect Add-On 1.2.2

Description:

Profile Builder Social Connect Add-On, version 1.2.2, is an extension built for the Profile Builder plugin. Its stated purpose is to extend the functionality of Profile Builder by adding social login. It is not a standalone product. It is designed to work on top of an existing Profile Builder installation, adding social login to what the base plugin already provides. Site owners considering it should treat it as a companion component to Profile Builder rather than as a separate tool with an independent role on the site.

Social login, in general terms, is a sign-in method in which people use an account they already hold with a social network instead of creating and maintaining a separate set of credentials on the site itself. This add-on brings that method into Profile Builder. Where a site would otherwise rely on the standard registration and login flow handled by Profile Builder, the add-on adds social login as an additional way for people to sign in. The idea behind it is that the identity a person already uses elsewhere can also serve as the identity they use to access the site.

Compatibility is the main requirement stated for this product. The add-on is compatible with Profile Builder version 2.3.1 or higher. In practice, that means the base plugin needs to be installed and running at version 2.3.1 or newer before the add-on can be used as described. Sites still running an older release of Profile Builder would need to update the base plugin to that level first. Confirming the installed Profile Builder version is therefore a sensible step before adding this extension to a site.

The audience for this add-on is site owners and administrators who already use Profile Builder and want social login as part of the sign-in experience. Since it depends on the base plugin, it is relevant mainly to existing Profile Builder users rather than to sites looking for a standalone social login solution. The release covered here is version 1.2.2. In summary, the product is an add-on that extends Profile Builder with social login, and it requires Profile Builder version 2.3.1 or higher to function.
