So I'm attempting to create a small plugin/module where I can log in a user with the need to have a password, login with Facebook basically (Yes, I know there is a plugin that does all this).
I was looking at this thread -> Can't programmatically log member in
Is all that I need to do to log a person in, is to call the create_new_session() function?
I can't seem to find any decent documentation on this. Any help or references would be appreciated.
You can take a look at code how ExpressionEngine does it from the Control Panel.
See the function do_login_as_member within the file expressionengine/controllers/cp/members.php
Hope, it would help you lot.
