I'm trying to implement HybridAuth with ajax.
Code:
PHP: (will be called by ajax)
<?php
header('Content-type: application/json');
$provider = $_GET["provider"];
$config = '../libaries/hybridauth/config.php';
require_once( "../libaries/hybridauth/Hybrid/Auth.php" );
try {
$hybridAuth = new Hybrid_Auth($config);
$adapter = $hybridAuth->authenticate($provider);
$userProfile = json_encode($adapter->getUserProfile());
echo $_GET['callback'] . '(' . "{$userProfile}" . ')';
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "Ooophs, we got an error: " . $e;
}
?>
Javascript:
socialRegister: function () {
var self = this;
var val = 'provider=' + self.get("provider");
return $.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: path.urlRoot + 'ext/socialRegisterAndAuthentication.inc.php',
dataType: "jsonp",
data: val
});
}
But I always get following error:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authenticate?oauth_token=123. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost' is therefore not allowed access.
I know, that this means, that the Twitter Server is not allowing my origin. Is there a workaround? Is a "One-Page" signUp with ajax possible? (Hopefully yes - on quora.com it works ;) )
TWITTERSETTINGS:

First of all - HybridAuth and ajax directly is not working. But i have a satisfying solution now and i want to share it with you. So here is how i did it:
JavaScript:
twitterRegister: function () {
var self = this;
self.popupWindow = window.socialPopupWindow = window.open(
path.urlRoot + 'ext/socialRegisterAndAUthentication.inc.php?provider=Twitter',
"hybridauth_social_sing_on",
"location=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,width=800,height=500"
);
var winTimer = setInterval(function ()
{
if (self.popupWindow.closed !== false)
{
// !== is required for compatibility with Opera
clearInterval(winTimer);
//Now twitter register from
require(["model/register"], function (registerModel) {
var registerM = new registerModel();
var ajaxRequest = registerM.socialRegister();
$.when(ajaxRequest).done(function (response) {
console.log(response);
self.slideOutRegister("Twitter");
self.twitterObject = response;
$('#reg_user').val(response.firstName);
});
$.when(ajaxRequest).fail(function () {
self.slideOutRegister("Email");
});
});
}
}, 200);
},
Explanation: This function opens a new popup-window. The user will be prompted to authorize the app. The setInterval catches the close event (fired by the window itself when its done).
socialRegisterAndAUthentication.inc.php:
<?php
session_start();
header('Content-type: text/html');
$provider = $_GET["provider"];
$config = '../libaries/hybridauth/config.php';
require_once( "../libaries/hybridauth/Hybrid/Auth.php" );
try {
$hybridAuth = new Hybrid_Auth($config);
$adapter = $hybridAuth->authenticate($provider);
$_SESSION["userProfile"] = json_encode($adapter->getUserProfile());
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";
echo "window.close();";
echo "</script>";
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "Ooophs, we got an error: ";
}
?>
Explanation: Closes the window when authorization is done (this is from the docs of HybridAuth). The data is stored in a session so that i can retrieve it later per ajax.
getSocialData.inc.php
<?php
session_start();
header('Content-type: application/json');
echo $_GET['callback'] . '(' . "{$_SESSION["userProfile"]}" . ')';
?>
Explanation: Returns the stored userProfile.
Summary:
Open a popup-window with javascript and let the user authorize the app. Store the data in a Session variable. Catch the close event of the popup-window. Then make an ajax call to retrieve the stored data (Session).
