I'm hoping that a Bigcommerce rep can answer this. I had some trouble accessing my Bigcommerce store to get my support PIN so I'm posting here.
I am developing a Bigcommerce app and am wondering if the Bigcommerce user must automatically be logged into my app when they open it in the iframe, or can the app display a login page inside the iframe when it opens?
I've seen some apps first display a signup page for the user to fill out, and I was planning to also first display a signup page for the user to create an account inside the app, then ask them to log into the app on the next session. Is this allowed, or do I need to implement OAuth in a way that allows the Bigcommerce user to log into my app based on their store during the app load?
Thanks

i'd like to extend functionality beyond what my shopify theme can do, i want to create an app that would render below the shopify header when user visits a certain link, and will have access to customer id from shopify. is this possible? i want this application to be customer facing, not admin.
I've developed an Ext JS 4.0.7 app for my company. It has various modules for different team's needs. Now, the company want to make sure only relevant people have access to relevant modules in an app. It's an ERP application which has CRM, MRP, Engineering, HR and Finance modules. Now, respective team members should have access to respective menus and pages and super admin will have access to everything.
I know how to control the menus based on user login. But not sure how to integrate user login screen into my app. I know basics of Ext JS and able to design a Login screen using form panel ...... but not sure how to make it as my app's first screen and upon successful login, let the user in and able to logout from there.
If anyone already developed such functionality, i request to share the solution here. Any pointers or code snippets will be a great help.
Thanks very much in advance.
My application has a header (company logo and app title - horizontal on north) and left menu and content panel.
So, here is how login/logout screen implemented.
When app is loaded, when viewport is loaded, on render, I load menu store and load 'Login' and 'Change Password' menu items in them.
When user enters login/pwd, via ajax call , will call servlet and process login data. Upon login successful, based on user role, respective menu json built in server side and menu store is loaded with this json. This json has 'Logout' menu by default. So, when user logs out, will load Login screen in content panel.
Not sure whether any other best ways to implement the same. But this is working well.
I am trying to load up http://developers.facebook.com/apps page but i always get redirected to my 'adverts & pages' page. I cant add the Developer app either as i get redirected also to the same page. Im simply trying to register my website as an app. I need to set a fb:app_id value for our Like buttons
I have a recorded mobile number & credit card so our page should be verified
Any thoughts ?.
You are currently logged in as a page account and not a real user account. Only user accounts can create facebook apps.
I started this website last year, along with a facebook page.
http://www.facebook.com/textbookcentral
I just implemented some more facebook features into my website, which used an app's ID to authenticate with facebook servers.
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=214000968642435
Is there a way I can merge both? When users click on the App link on the wall posts my App made, they get taken to the App page, which is empty.
Mainly, I want to keep the http://www.facebook.com/textbookcentral URL, and when people click on the App page, it would have the http://www.facebook.com/textbookcentral URL. It would be a bonus if I could import all the original facebook pages' content, too.
Or, make the App link on wall posts on users page to link to the original page instead.
Please be aware that as of Feb 1st Application Profile Pages are GONE !

As for your questions, the link above contains the information about the migration process
My understanding was that the registration plugin allows you to use the same reg form for users not registering with Facebook as well with Facebook. However, if a user is logged into Facebook and visits the registration page the form prefills information and only gives them the option to register with Facebook. That's kind of a freaky user experience. They hit the register button on your website and it auto fills fields with Facebook info without permission. Just because a user is logged into facebook doesn't necessarily mean they actually want to create the account with their Facebook information.
Here's what I have handled so far by the registration plugin:
User is not logged into Facebook and registers via the plugin, but with my site authentication not Facebook.
User is not logged into Facebook, uses the plugin to log into Facebook, fields are prefilled and user registers via Facebook.
Here's what I dont have handled
3. User is already logged into Facebook, but may want to register with my site authentication and NOT connect the account to their Facebook account. Currently, it prefills the forms and provides them with only a register button connecting Facebook to my app.
Basically, I want the user to have to opt-in to register with Facebook even if they are logged into Facebook, but I want to use the Registration plugin form. Is this possible?
I hope that makes sense.
A user can clear the fields by ckicking the X when mouseover the name field
What you need to do is something similar to Scribd approach, where you can by default wrap and hide the "Login with facebook" button (or the registration form if the user is already logged in and connected!) and for example in your form div/container have a checkbox (a location over the flow is preferred) stating:
Register with my Facebook account
Or something more catchy and when the user clicks/checks the input the facebook DIV will slide down and used instead of your registration routine.
