Problem in my first project as a web developer
-
so i got a job as a web developer recently, and is given a web project, this is my first job as a web developer. the client is a cosmetic company, they want me to create a web whose main objective is for data gathering? so basically, it's some kind of informative + community like web, where they gives out info like news and tips on cosmetic, the main purpose of the web is the community system, they want to implement a forum like system, where user can post tips and comment on those tips. The problem is, originally, the company wants, that to comment or post tips user must have a facebook (facebook is REALLY popular in my country) account. but my employer, suggest them to add a member system too. So what i am confused is i've never seen a web before where user can comment eihter with facebook or with their own comment system(with member login). so what do you guys think about this? should i tell my employer to change the system back to original? or is there a way to do the problem i have? or are there any other suggestions?

There are lots of systems that allow you to use other systems (such as facebook or twitter) to authenticate so that they can post a comment. One option is to have a users table in your database where you store all your users and then a column in the table to store what type of user it is, i.e. facebook, twitter, google, your own member, etc. When they want to login you'll need a separate link or a dropdown for them to select how they want to authenticate (facebook, etc). Based on what you describe here you really just need to support multiple types of users by adding a flag to your user table and then also by providing the various login options.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Thanks for the reply. Another question, what about the comment box? for example facebook API comment box have those like,reply, and other stuff in it. how can i make a user who logs in as a normal member can reply those who uses facebook (if i use fb comment box), does this means i must modify facebook API? or should i just not use fb comment box, but my own comment box for all user.

I guess it depends on what you want to do. If you want to actually post to facebook then you'll need to use their api. If you just want a comment box that looks like facebook you just need to write all of the code yourself.
