motomac Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Vkontakte (or VK.com) social network is like Russian Facebook. It is number one social network in all Russian speaking countries (Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia, Kazakhstan, e.t.c.). It's ranked 21 in Alexa global top and has over 300 million users. Its active users database is bigger then Instagram or LinkedIn. Almost everybody in Russia has VK account (and doesn't have Facebook account). @Charles, @Lindy, @Matt, please, consider the possibility to add VK integration into the future IPS releases as one of the default login methods along with Facebook, Twitter and Google. It would be the best Christmas gift for all Russian speaking community. VK supports oAuth 2.0 authentication and has wonderful documentation: https://vk.com/dev/authentication Thank you in advance!

Martin1980 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I suppose there is a typo in the topic title, it's not the biggest social network of Europe, but Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motomac Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 @Martin1980 may by my information is outdated, but I followed the Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VK_(social_networking). The largest European social network means made in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADMAN32395 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Why not just have someone make the login handler? IPS gave us the tools to play with, why not use their sandbox? (Figurative sandbox) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtech Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 They say in their site they have 1/3 of active users. It means 2/3 are ghost users by now.

VK says in their 100 million active users. The problem is that they must be very localized (mostly Russia). " VK is the largest European social network with more than a 100 million active users. " European here must be russian, because i'm in europe and don't know anyone who actually uses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motomac Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 @MADMAN32395 there are some solutions, but they all have bugs and sometimes die after new IPS releases. The main disadvantage is that it could block login function for all users registered via VK. My proposal is to make a native high quality VK support. 1 hour ago, xtech said: European here must be russian Yes, and also Ukrainians, Belorussians, but anyway the phrase about the largest european social network seems to be correct, because the big part of Russia (and entire Ukraine and Belorussia) is located in Europe, and the city where VK was created is located in Europe too. So there is no any typo in the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Потому что одно дело, когда метод авторизации встроен и поддерживается официально, а другое дело когда форум обновляется каждые 2-4 недели и каждый раз надеяться на разработчика что плагин заработает, как-то не айс. Рано или поздно разработчик перестанет поддерживать плагин и тогда искать новый... Я бы вообще в маркетплейсе ввел бы платные плагины с гарантией поддержки и обновления.

As much as I think Vkontake is an important regional social network, it pales in comparison to Facebook's global reach. VKontatke average daily users: 46.8 Million http://expandedramblings.com/index.php/russian-social-media-stats-yandex-vkontakte/ Facebook average daily users: 1.13 Billion https://www.statista.com/statistics/346167/facebook-global-dau/ It is not the responsibility of IPS to support every regional social network or login method.
