Im using rails for my app and wanna integrate it with disqus, the idea is that when users when logging into the application also do so in disqus and I haven't any idea how to do this and don't understand the documentation, any help will be appreciate
This is impossible to achieve. Consider this scenario (out of possible many others): I am already logged in into Disqus, so you'd want to automatically log me in into your app. But you'll have no knowledge of my username, email, etc. from Disqus. I'm not even sure you'd be able to detect in your app that I am logged in into Disqus.

I am so curious about how companies make their own marketplace within an application? I am trying to achieve a marketplace where individuals can sell products on a mobile application. So when a user logs into the app they are met with a live feed of various products. Something similar to the GOAT app, eBay, or Etsy. Usually, I know where to start, however, I have never dealt with an idea so complex. I know it can be done because it has been done multiple times over. However, I am asking if someone could provide me with some guidance. I did some Googling but came out empty-handed. Is there a video tutorial or a step-by-step guide on something like this? I also do not mind buying a course if I can achieve this effect!
Currently, what I have now are three pages! A working signup and login screen with a firebase backend that authenticates a user's email and password. It leads to my home page which is very basic. Just a header with tab navigation! I know it is very barebones... however I came here to see if I can be provided with some steps from here. Maybe even a proper technology stack.
Thank you in advance for any help!
Here are some examples of apps with live marketplaces:

Hey research marketplaces with ready app react-native template like this template e-commerce . But you need some knowledge about react-native or you can ask a freelancers.
Is it possible to have the user "like" your page during the registration process using the Facebook Registration/log in function on my website. I know you can have custom fields, but I don't see anything that talks about this. Please tell me where I can find this information. I don't want to be repetitive on my website by having them do this twice.
Authenticating an application is not the same as liking an application. So they are two distinct things. You can create something called a fan-gate to prevent the user from seeing the good stuff if they don't like your app. Google fan-gate and you will see some examples of how to implement.
This is a problem that every developer will face when building their apps: how to contact the reviewer of your app to notify them of an update, new release, help topics, etc?
Some things I am thinking:
Include an RSS feed in your app which you can update to notify the users of the app.
Include a twitter feed regarding your app. How to go about this?
Include a way for the users to subscribe to a mailing list. This way, I can send a mass-email to the users who opted-in? Any suggestions here?
Any other ways that you think this can/should be done? Any existing solutions you can point me to will be great. Thanks in advance.
One way, for contacting a specific user who created a review of an application is to go to Zune Social (at http://social.zune.net/home) and create a new message. You can then enter the Zune Tag of the user who created a review.
Personally, I'd try to do all three - have a web page/site, with an RSS feed, and a subscription link (so they can subscribe to the RSS feed via email) and then post any updates to your twitter account as well.
You can't really force a user to do any of these, but having the options available, and linked from inside your app on the about page is probably good practise.
You could also include some kind of "Update Available" feature inside the application. Try to make this as unobtrusive as possible obviously. Obviously if they've still got the app installed they'll get an update notification from the marketplace anyway.

Besides the suggestions made by samjudson, I'll also recommend having a support-page with a direct option to send a email to you. Here's a example of a support-page from one of my applications. I've received lot of emails with suggestions for improvements, or complains about bugs. And since it's by email, it gives you the option to respond directly to people.
Another thing about reviews. Don't take them to serious. Most people only rate negatively (since humans like to complain), and by such a lot of reviews are often misinformed, outdated, or the users just been plain ignorant.
Hii..
I am working on developing a website and I want it to be integrated with Facebook, i.e. I want to fetch logged-in user's information like his wall info, comments, his feeds etc. along with his friends's information,their comments etc..
Also I want user of my website to be able to post comments, feeds on his wall, update / upload picture etc.
And all that I want to do using facebook API..
Is there any way to do it..? Please help me out, I am really not getting the way that how to do it..
Yes this all possible, but your question is too vague to have definite answer.
First you need to learn about:
Social plugins
Javascript SDK
Authentication (see Single Sign-on with the JavaScript SDK)
FQL
If after that you still have some specific questions we would be able to help further.
I'm not sure what languages/technology stacks you may be considering for your site, but you could also check for plugins that interface w/ the fb API such as
Facebooker - Rails plugin
Facebook Graph Plugin - Grails plugin
Alright. So I am new, I know my way around html pretty well, and have gotten by for a while now doing so. But today I am presented with a seemingly simple issue.
My client needs the ability for users to create their own LOGIN/PASSWORD, my client wants to be able to MANUALLY approve visitors. And he want to be able to track how many times they login.
The login section will just be about 4 pages of PDF file downloads.
I cant imagine this is the hardest thing in the world, I just have no clue where to even start. Perhaps there is a code already written, as things like this are done every day using forum technologies...
Please help!
It may also help to mention that I am using Dreamweaver cs4 on a MAC
I'd check out Ruby on Rails if I were you. It's pretty easy to get something quick up with it that you can have users create accounts with that send e-mails to the client with approve/reject options, and be able to track downloads and users via MySQL or other databases.
I've found Agile Development with Rails to be a great source of info on how to do stuff like this (they do an online bookstore as the book's example) and with a little modification I think it should work for what you say you want to do (and the book is pretty cheap as far as programming books go).
If you want just really basic static login features without lots of coding, you can start with Password protecting your pages with htaccess. You can password protect directories like this without any effort at all. This way, you can be sure that your login routine is secure.
Then, you can continue with advanced features like account administration and login statistics. These will require some programming skills.
Tracking count of user logins should be easy too. You can put simple PHP code to the source of protected pages that will save the info about login to the database. This will require you to study some basics of databases. You can use plaintext files which is not as clean but much easier and it will allow you to export info for your client more easily.
If you want to do it profesionally, you should invest in learning about web development or hire someone to do it for you. These tasks might not be trivial.
Have you worked with PHP, ASP.Net or some other web language yet? What you're trying to isn't too difficult in the grand scheme of things but it may be somewhat challenging if you haven't programmed before and/or haven't had any experience with web development.
(P.s. Alter your question as a response and comment on my answer when you're finished.)
As you are looking into Ruby on Rails, take a look at bort which is a RoR app skeletton with RESTful authentication included, it should help (Chris Bunch answered on the general RoR question).
There is also this bort fork. There is also Authlogic which may be easier to work with.
Have a look at the ASP.net Membership provider and also the login controls which provides the UI for the login as well as registration screens out of the box.
Here is a Multipart Series on ASP.NET's Membership, Roles, and Profile
If this is too complex than probably you can also design you application from scratch using ASP.net. If you don't know asp.net than the best place to start is www.asp.net it has several videos and tutorials which would help you get going soon.
