Flyover 2.4

Flyover is a plugin which lets your users register and login with over 20 different social networks and providers. It authenticates users loading just the necessary files, avoiding unuseful stuff and being as much neat as possible: it acts as a mediator between your board and external sites offering login capabilities.

I wanted to endorse this as a valuable plugin. At HF we decided to try social logins (FB, Google, Discord, and Twitter) just to gauge how well it would do. I really didn't want to spend a huge time on development and saw that this Premium (paid) plugin existed. It wasn't too expensive to get the MyBBoost Ultimate package and he has a reasonable amount of very good plugins.

Flyover was worth it all by itself because upon install our registration increased 30-50%. Yeah, by that much. I was shocked but those are true numbers. Apparently having a super easy way to register an account even though it links to your Google or Twitter account is what people want.

Technically this is a very good plugin and well-written. We made some custom alteration for visual but that was about it. Great plugin and I fully endorse it to all forum owners.

Downloaded FB/TW/G+/Steam from this package. Greaaat plugin, yet again, Shade. It's much more simple and straight forward compared to using the free versions, and I like the hybrid auth. Good stuff. I was reluctant to replace the free versions you made, but this is by far superior.

This looks really good (and after testing it by registering for your forums it looks extremely good).

MyBBoost runs on Flyover, despite the interface is different, so you can register and try it on this site.

Features

Powered by HybridAuth

Flyover relies on an open source project, HybridAuth, to communicate with external sites. The current version is powered by HybridAuth 3.3. HybridAuth serves as a secure and powerful communication layer between your board and each providers' website. Most if not all providers use OAuth 2.0 to authenticate users.

Hashed IDs

In order to ensure the highest level of privacy, users identifiers coming from every providers are hashed. You don't need to worry in case someone steals a database dump, your users are always safe and no one gets to know the user's social identity (unless they have synchronized easily identifiable data).

PM on registration

You can specify and fully customize a private message which will be delivered to the user upon registering. Several customization options are available.

Register without a password

Flyover is capable of registering users without the need for them to specify a password. This is available as an option, and it's disabled by default.

Multiple accounts

Your users can link multiple accounts to the same provider, and choose to login with whatever account they want.

High customization

Several customizations are available to enhance and personalize your experience with Flyover. Synchronization options with up to 10 data points collected during every login, while post-registration usergroup and full templates and stylesheets support are included. You can always specify provider-specific settings that will override the general configuration, including custom profile fields.

Availability

Flyover is available for free. Support is discontinued due to my departure from programming. Read more why here.
