Looking at this site http://www.thefancy.com/ and clicking the Sign up button followed by the Twitter option it brings up a window for Twitter Login.
I assume this is the JS approach to Twitter login in a similar fashion to Facebooks.
On my site I have already implemented Connect With Facebook (using JS) and to keep my site consistent I would like to know how to do this using Twitter's Sign On service.
Does anyone have any useful advice or links to help me with this - I can only find guides that take the user to Twitter's website during login and then back again to mine which is not what I want.
Many thanks
EDIT:
I did notice this on Twitter's site:
"Reminder: It is strongly discouraged to use OAuth 1.0A with client-side Javascript."
Why do Twitter recommend against using JS with OAuth while Facebook and Google are happy to go with it?
tHave you looked into Twitter OAuth? In order for Twitter to grand your site details, it has to redirect your users momentarily to twitter for them to verify this access. This link explains it a bit better: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/authentication/overview/3-legged-oauth
Temboo simplifies the process of developing Twitter sign up (via OAuth). See here for details: https://live.temboo.com/library/Library/Twitter/OAuth/
Temboo doesn't have a JS library though, so you will have to use the REST API.
Full disclosure: I work at Temboo.

I want to login via facebook, google and twitter in Yii framework.
I don't know how to do it ?
Please suggest me the best way.
You can go through the developer site for each facebook, twitter and google. and simple create some app to work with as you needed.
Specifically at the top of this page:
https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2Login there is:
It looks great, but when I change the scope it's still in the context of Google+ and I would like to just sign in with google apps and ask for the contact permission.
There is no embeddable widget that does not include the G+ scopes. The page you reference explains how you can do a basic login authentication via OAuth2 without other scopes but there is not a widgetized implementation.
In general, the simplest approach is to do use the G+ widgets.
Is there any way with Twitter to get the auth code without having to go through Twitter and being redirected back to the source page ( my website ) ?
I am aksing this because we need to connect the user to Twitter, but without refreshing the current page the user is on.
Is this possible with Javascript, jQuery or whatever?
PLease help me out.
Thanks
Using whatever, Python and Java in this case. I ran into this article a few days ago you'll find interesting:
Automated Browserless OAuth Authentication for Twitter
quote from the article:
This article describes how to use the OAuth 3-legged protocol with a
headless browser like HtmlUnit to get tokens from twitter without user
intervention.
I am interested in creating a Google plus application.But I come to know that Google haven't released its api yet.Then How these guys are creating Google plus applications?

Thanks in advance.
The second one looks like the only thing it does is to allow you to access the mobile version through desktop browser, so my guess is that is "faking" the the User Agent of a mobile browser to cheat Google+.
The first one, if it just imports the photos from Facebook and adds them to Google+ it may be using the Picasa api, since it's where Google+ stores the pictures.
Even if you cannot access Google+ api just yet you can use the other Google ones to "influence" what you get in Google+. Just be creative :)
The API has now been announced at: http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2011/09/getting-started-on-google-api.html and the official homepage is: http://developers.google.com/+/
I am making a mobile application where users can connect their twitter accounts to the app. I am just kinda curious what's the best way to do it.
Right now, I would love to be able to make my own custom page (without having to use a UIWebView).
Is this possible? If how, so?
Thanks.
As I understand, you don't want the user to be redirected to Twitter's OAuth authorization web page. You can use xAuth instead, but you have to send Twitter an email why you want this, and they won't allow xAuth for your app until it is in a very late development state (when your app is almost complete). You can find the manual for xAuth in the Twitter development documentation.
Basically, what xAuth does is it allows desktop and mobile applications to skip the request_token and authorize steps and jump right to the access_token step. This way, you can provide the user with custom fields (e.g. UITextField objects) to fill their username and password in. Just make sure you don't save them anywhere, only the access token. Good luck. :)
