Lonnie,
You may want to consider using https://github.com/socialite-manager/socialite instead of hybridauth. It's based off the Laravel component of the same name, and seems to be pretty robust.
Btw, just curious, how does myth-auth compare against php-auth or others?

Why would you recommend this over the other? Pros and cons?

I can't say I've done an exhaustive comparison, in fact I only recently stumbled upon socialite. But I've used HybridAuth 2.9 in the past and had some trouble with it, despite all the people that seem to use / work on/with it. Now there is a 3.0 version, and it is documented (both seem to be documented pretty well), but of note, several issues still linger with it that do not seem to get fixed/answered in a reasonable amount of time - but in Hybridauth 3.0's defense, it does not claim to be production grade yet.

Socialite is (at least seems to be) production grade. Looking under the hood, it is leveraging guzzle instead of curl. For oauth1 it uses league/oauth1-client. Socialite is PSR-7 compliant. However, major disclaimer. I haven't tried using Socialite yet, but stay tuned, I might give it a go if time allows. Looking at the code between the two, much is similar. Hybridauth runs in php 5.x and 7. Socialite is php 7.x only.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Bob

Yeah, I've ran into issues with HybridAuth in the past, so I'll definitely give socialite a look.

To be fair, though, it using Guzzle and PSR-7 only means it duplicates much of the HTTP layer of already built into CI4, so isn't necessarily a direct selling point lol.
