Magento 2 Twitter & Facebook Login v2.x Developer Guide & API Reference

Adding Social Buttons

This Magento 2 Twitter and Facebook Login Extension can be set up to replace your customer login/registration template with its own template, and display the social login buttons automatically. In case you want to keep your own template and install social buttons manually, you will need to modify the code.

Adding Login Buttons Manually

If you want to add login buttons manually, you have a couple of options. Please select the most suitable one from below.

Option 1 – Adding code to any template (phtml) file

Changes to be made

Website Frontend – Login Form page

The following code can be pasted and will be working in any template (phtml) file of your theme. The code is as follows:

<?php echo $this->getLayout()
    ->createBlock("PlumrocketSocialLoginFreeBlockButtons")
    ->setTemplate("Plumrocket_SocialLoginFree::customer/form/login/buttons.phtml")
    ->toHtml(); ?>

        ->setTemplate("Plumrocket_SocialLoginFree::customer/form/login/buttons.phtml")
