Suppose user can login using either Facebook Account or OpenId. If user uses Facebook, I would like to put a button like publish on my homepage, else I will not put anything on it. How do I tell which authentication method user is using in OmniAuth?
In your callback method, you can access the request.env["omniauth.auth"]["provider"] varaible to determine if he used Facebook vs. OpenID.

I have an ruby on rails application that uses devise and omniauth-twitter gem to handle user management and authenication. Users can only login through twitter. I already have the application authenticating, however I would like to allow users to write a tweet; and if they are not logged in, authenticate through twitter then have the tweet they wrote before the authentication post to twitter.
I was wondering what is the best way to go about doing that?
Can I capture a request if a user is not logged in, log them in, then preform the captured request?
Just not sure how to go about doing this.
Thanks.
I am trying to implement Omniauth and Devise with multiple providers in Rails 3.2 app.
One tricky scenario is: user signs in via LinkedIn for the first time. Since linkedin does not provide user email, I won't know which account I should link this linkedin credentials to. So I want to intercept the callback to prompt a popup window that allows user to enter his email or username, before passing the credentials together with email to controller.
How should I go about this?
I am using devise with rest enabled. I have a form that requires user authentcation / registration. The authentication is implemented in fancybox light box.
I am able to register and signin using ajax calls. Sign in seems to return a session_id. How do I get the session object after registration. Or, more like is a session object created at registration?
If one is not created how would I bypass signin the first time after registration ?
There seems to be no straight forward way to do this. As of now the only way I can do this is by refreshing the page.
Is there a parameter I can pass to https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth that will force the user to login again?
The problem is if the user is logged into Facebook, it will redirect transparently back to my site, even if the user wants to use a different Facebook account.
Twitter's OAuth API accepts a "force_redirect=true" parameter which does what I want, but I can't find one for Facebook.
I think "auth_type=reauthenticate" is the option you are looking for.

I am using twitter #anywhere JS API in my application and don't know how to use their methods and properly execute them. At present, I am following this docs for the API.
I am working on a scenario where, I need to check from my app, if any twitter user is logged in on the same browser, get the current twitter user details and cross check with my app for the twitter user. If the user exists in my app, automatically login the user. (more importantly it should not ask the user to connect to the twitter app. Without asking the credentials I need to get the currentUser)
NOTE: Facebook already supports this type of method. We can get the facebook loggedin user session from getSession() method.
Is there anyone there to help me out on this one?
