I’ve just started using Gigya to allow users to connect to my site. I already have a login system so I just want to connect existing users to the Gigya service.
To do this I have called the “gigya.services.socialize.notifyLogin” function which returns a Gigya User object with the UID provided by my site. [fig 1]
Do I need to do anything with this User object, like add it to a cookie or is it just for reference.
The problem that Im having is on another page, I want to allow users to connect to their social media accounts. I use the “showAddConnectionsUI” function passing my api key, but the returned object does NOT have the User object in, although the documentation says it should. How do I get the users conenctions and the key information from this function. Do I need to send any additional information along with my api key. [fig 2]
I have spent several days reading the wiki, documentation and forum for advice but I am still stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Ben

Any help, advice, code snippits that would help will be greatly appreciated
Re: your first question, not required to do anything special with the Gigya User object. It’s for your reference.
Re: your code, I can’t tell if you’re using JQuery but I was getting an error with your $(document).ready function. I modified your code slightly by adding body onLoad and everything worked. This assumes you have connected with a provider. Here’s my code… hope it helps:
