Social Apps

KickApps, announced the availability of a Single Sign-On (SSO) module that enables a seamless member login experience between Drupal powered sites and KickApps hosted social media sites. Developers and publishers using the widely used open source content management system (CMS) can now easily integrate social media experiences, such as social networking, user-generated content, programmable video players and Widgets for content syndication, with their sites to fuel audience growth and engagement.

“Building on our recent integration with Joomla! and WordPress, we’re excited about the new module, which makes it easier than ever for developers to integrate social media communities with websites of all sizes built using any of these three popular platforms,” said Alex Blum, CEO of KickApps.

The module includes support for versions 6.x, 5.3 and 4.7 of Drupal. When developers enable the KickApps SSO module for their Drupal sites, registered site members will be auto-registered into the site’s KickApps powered community during sign in, requiring no initial user import by the developer. Once logged in and on the community site, the member is brought over to his or her profile page, where they can start uploading video, photos and audio, and manage their media.

Last month KickApps announced Single Sign-On (SSO) support between KickApps and Joomla!, the popular open source content management system.

KickApps now announced similar functionality for Wordpress—widely used and respected blogging platforms. With a simple, free plugin, it’s easier than ever for anyone with a Wordpress-powered site to integrate KickApps’ advanced social media features. You can find it here along with a handy tutorial to get you on your way.

With the plugin, as members sign into your Wordpress site, they’ll be auto-registered into your KickApps-powered community. That means they’ll automatically get a community profile based on their registered name and email, so they can start uploading and sharing media immediately, and you don’t have to worry about an initial data import.
