Hybrdigniter is an integration of HybridAuth and CodeIgniter. In this sub-tutorial, I am going to explain the usage of /applicaion/config/hybridauthlib.php which is found in the installation of HybridIgniter.

Enable or Disable a social media service

This feature allows you to Enable or Disable social media services. For example, if I wish to disable twitter, then I will do the following:
FROM

"Twitter" => array (
				"enabled" => true,
				"keys"    => array ( "key" => "", "secret" => "" )
			),

To

"Twitter" => array (
				"enabled" => false,
				"keys"    => array ( "key" => "", "secret" => "" )
			),
Add Social Media Developer “key”/”id” and “secret”

The config file also allows you to add developer app specific key/id and secret code in the config file that allows integration for that specific app.

For example, look at the highlighted lines below:

$config =
	array(
		// set on "base_url" the relative url that point to HybridAuth Endpoint
		'base_url' => '/hauth/endpoint',

		"providers" => array (
			// openid providers
			"OpenID" => array (
				"enabled" => true
			),

			"Yahoo" => array (
				"enabled" => true,
				"keys"    => array ( "id" => "", "secret" => "" ),
			),

			"AOL"  => array (
				"enabled" => true
			),

			"Google" => array (
				"enabled" => true,
				"keys"    => array ( "id" => "", "secret" => "" ),
			),

			"Facebook" => array (
				"enabled" => true,
				"keys"    => array ( "id" => "", "secret" => "" ),
			),

			"Twitter" => array (
				"enabled" => true,
				"keys"    => array ( "key" => "", "secret" => "" )
			),

			// windows live
			"Live" => array (
				"enabled" => true,
				"keys"    => array ( "id" => "", "secret" => "" )
			),

			"MySpace" => array (
				"enabled" => true,
				"keys"    => array ( "key" => "", "secret" => "" )
			),

			"LinkedIn" => array (
				"enabled" => true,
				"keys"    => array ( "key" => "", "secret" => "" )
			),

			"Foursquare" => array (
				"enabled" => true,
				"keys"    => array ( "id" => "", "secret" => "" )
			),
		),

		// if you want to enable logging, set 'debug_mode' to true  then provide a writable file by the web server on "debug_file"
		"debug_mode" => (ENVIRONMENT == 'development'),

		"debug_file" => APPPATH.'/logs/hybridauth.log',
	);
Understand this to avoid “providers” variable error

While developing, you might happen to see an error saying that the $providers variable is not defined. Well, please understand that this is where the providers array is. This will expand to the Controller and then lead to the View.

$config =
	array(
		// set on "base_url" the relative url that point to HybridAuth Endpoint
		'base_url' => '/hauth/endpoint',

		"providers" => array (
			// openid providers
			"OpenID" => array (
				"enabled" => true
			),

I hope this helps. The tutorial in future will continue HERE
