Answer 1

To login any user into the system, you need to use the User model, and I bet inherited classes will do the trick as well but I'm not sure.

Anyway, your Fan model does not associate with the User model/table in any way and that's a problem. If your model had a belong_to or has_one relationship and a user_id field then you could replace Auth::login($user) with Auth::loginUsingId().

Original answer:

You are missing an extra method call: ->get() or ->first() to actually retrieve the results:

$fan = Fan::where('fbid', '=', $user['uid'])->first();

Alternatively, you can throw an exception to see what's going on:

$fan = Fan::where('fbid', '=', $user['uid'])->firstOrFail();

If you see different errors, update your question with those errors.
