When you use the { JFBCLogin} tag, it will insert only the Login with Facebook button. It will not insert the whole JFBCLogin module, which includes the Username, Password fields, submit button, register for this site links, etc.

I'm not sure what you mean by "i tried changing the type of the menu button but it wouldnt expand to anything".

Finally, how did you "turn your login program off"? Do you mean you disabled a different login module? When you did this, and used the Login With Facebook button, what happened?

Sorry for the confusion, but we'll get you fixed up. If there's a link you can send to let us see what's happening, we'll gladly help out.

Thanks,
Alex

What i did was found the login module that i am currently using and dissabled it, then moved the JFBconnect login to the same position which was menu-dropdown-a from a rocket theme template. when i refreshed the front end the login wasnt working anymore it wouldnt even display anything, so i changed the jfbconnect module back to the position it has been on the front page in position sidebar-a and turned the regular module back on. Guess what I need to do is embed the tag into the regular login module because they both go to the community builder registration page. The thing is I have no idea how to do this, I think you sent me a link before about how to do this other than just {jfbclogin}, does that go in my login module or do i have to enter into the server and modify the code?

To enter the tag, you'll have to modify the template file for the module you want to add the button too. Usually, you can find this file easily and then create a template override for it, which allows you to make changes that won't be erased if you upgrade that module in the future. For information on template overrides, see the bottom post here:
www.sourcecoast.com/extensions/troublesh...ng-joomla-extensions

Hope this helps, but if there's a specific module or component page that you want to add the JFBCLogin tag and you can't figure it out, let us know and we can probably help track it down for you.

If you're just looking to add the Login With Facebook button to that module, you have 2 options:
1) (Easy) - In the Post text, put { JFBCLogin} (no spaces). That will show the Login With Facebook button after normal login form has rendered
2) (Harder) - Create a template override for mod_login. This would be copying the file from /modules/mod_jfbclogin/tmpl/default.php to /templates/<YOUR_TEMPLATE>/html/mod_login/default.php. Once there, edit it and you can add the Login With Facebook button anywhere within the login module. This has more flexibility on where you want to place the button, but is harder overall.

I'm not sure how 3.2 will fix this issue for you, so maybe I'm not understanding what you're looking for. Hopefully, the above helps, but if not, let us know!

SOLVED, went through the code and this is what i had to do, in the post text you need to place this code, have to fully test it when i get home but figured other people might want to know so everything is nice and neat, ill have to mess around with the padding but think this might be what you were telling me to do, just had to go through my source code to find the button

Login With Facebook

Ahh. Yes, depending on how your drop-down box is working, the System plugin may not fire, which is what replaces the {} tags.

Your solution should be just fine as your skipping the tag replacement step and just jumping to the correct code. However, if you run into issues, let us know.
