Hello,

I want to add Hotmail or MSN to MonoX's Social Login instead of LinkedIn Login.

Could I do this in MonoX?

If yes, How could I do it?

Hi,

More details on social auth can be found here and yes, social auth can work with MSN. MonoX social login by default supports four social network providers. In order to work with MSN you need to ensure that you have Consumer key and Consumer secret codes.

In web.config, I will add code like this:

<add WrapperName="MSNWrapper" ConsumerKey="API Key from MSN" ConsumerSecret="Secret Key from MSN" />

What is WrapperName for MSN Login?

And since I cannot access Behind Code of LoginSocial.ascx,
How would I add MSN button in LoginSocial.ascx?

<div class="social-button-holder">

<asp:LinkButton ID="btnMSN" runat="server" CausesValidation="false" OnClick="btn_Click" class="msn" CommandArgument="MSN">

<img

src="<%= ResolveUrl(MonoSoftware.MonoX.Paths.App_Themes.img.Sn.msn_login_png) %>" alt="<%= DefaultResources.LoginSocial_LoginWithMSN %>" />

<span><%= DefaultResources.LoginSocial_LoginWithMSN %></span>

</asp:LinkButton>

</div>

MSNWrapper is the name of the wrapper.

And since I cannot access Behind Code of LoginSocial.ascx,

How would I add MSN button in LoginSocial.ascx?

You don't need access to the source code if you use the same OnClick event handler as the existing providers. If you just set the CommandArgument to MSN the desired provider will be initialized in the code behind. You should just inherit the existing LoginSocial control and replace the references to point towards your custom control.
