X-cart has an old login mechanism where users have to create a username.
If a user doesn’t remember their username, I want people to be able to login to see their previous orders and whatnot by using their email address or logging in using their facebook account.
I assume facebook authentication will pass the user’s email address back to x-cart.
As long as the user has the same email address in the x-cart database as they used with facebook they should be able to login – correct me if I’m wrong – I don’t know how facebook’s API works.
Must support ‘anonymous’ users: when a customer checkouts without supplying a username and password, an anonymous user account is created.
x-cart code must be altered to allow anonymous users to login.
code and documentation must be included.
Instructions for installing this functionality must include:
-step by step installation steps to apply to other x-cart sites (this will be tested on a test site and then moved to live).
-x-cart files that need to be changed, including code edits (before and after)
x-cart is a PHP shopping cart.
X-cart experience is extremely helpful.
Bonus for including google account authentication
