Facebook, Google+ social login update

Dear publisher

As you might know, the VirtualNewspaper system interacts with third party software to offer you a better service and improve your user experience. In this case we worked with Google and Facebook to give you a better Social Login service.
Such services require data that we need you to supply us. Through this step by step guide we'll show you exactly how to obtain such data and to configure your VirtualNewspaper platform to benefit from such services. 

We ask you to check if the actual configuration of your virtualnewspaper is compliant to the specs behind and to notify it to us with an email to "supporto@virtualcom.it".
