Modified 13:32, 27 Mar 2013 by shirly

The Gigya Drupal module allows you to easily embed Gigya’s wide range of social login, sharing and community features throughout your Drupal site.

Please see http://drupal.org/project/gigya for the module's complete and most up-to-date documentation, as well as download links.

Added new Gigya functionality:

Changed Comments to be per content type
Changed login process to by fully AJAX based
Some more cleanups

The recommended version for production use is 7.x-4.3.

If your site uses Drupal 6, please use this link http://drupal.org/node/1515084 to download our latest version for Drupal 6.

Social Login - The Gigya module can be used as an external authentication system, allowing users to sign up to your site using an increasing number of platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, LinkedIn, Yahoo, and more. As with standard registration, new Drupal user accounts will be created in the process. See our documentation for additional information and advanced implementation options: Social Login

Share - The module includes different tools to enable your users to share content and site activities to social networks. The “Share Bar” plugin displays a bar of buttons, next to whatever content you wish, for sharing this content to social networks and bookmark destinations. “Sharing an action” lets the site owner configure rules to automatically display prompt the user with a share dialog, once he performs a certain share-worthy activity on your site (for example, posts a story, submits a comment) - encouraging the user to post his action to social networks. See our documentation for additional information and advanced implementation options: Sharing

Comments - Gigya's Comments plugin enables site users to post comments and have discussions about published content on your site. These comments can be easily shared with social networks. By default, enabling Gigya comments will replace Drupal’s comments with Gigya’s. Gigya’s comments are configured to also be saved as Drupal comments, so the plugin can be easily be switched-off - while retaining the comments. Please notice that Comments settings must be configured on Gigya’s site, before they can be used in your Drupal site. Login to www.gigya.com to configure these settings. See our documentation for additional information and advanced implementation options: Comments

Reactions - The Reactions plugin allows users to react to content in your site and share their reaction to social networks. The Reactions plugin is built out of one or more buttons, arranged in a bar. Each button represents a "reaction" to the content, such as 'LOL', 'Amazing', etc. Once a user clicks on a reaction button, a share dialog will pop up to suggest to him to share his reaction to social networks. Seeour documentation for additional information and advanced implementation options: Reactions
Game Mechanics - Gigya's Game Mechanics is a social loyalty and rewards platform that can be easily embedded in your website, increasing site engagement and making your users' experience more enjoyable. See Gigya’s documentation for additional information: Game Mechanics
Activity Feed - The Activity Feed plugin allows users to see the latest actions on a site, according to who performed the actions. See Gigya’s documentation for additional information:
Activity Feed
