JFBConnect + EasySocial : Password field visible during mini-reg.

kevort,
I'm sorry for the delayed response. Unfortunately, it's not possible for us to pre-populate (or generate and hide) the password field on the registration form. That's due to how EasySocial works, and we've already let them know that we'd like it changed to make it work.

Basically, if you set a password in EasySocial's registration right now and go to the next step and then come back to the step where you set the password, you'll see that it's blanked out. EasySocial is intentionally deleting the password you've already set and making you re-enter it whenever you visit the step. Therefore, we can't prefill it (or hide it) as EasySocial will be deleting whatever value we set.

We'd love to be able to hide that field as well.. it's just not something we've been able to work around right now. Please feel free to let them know you'd like that feature as it may increase it's priority with them. We'd be able to implement it quickly, as the code is almost completely there ready for it.

I hope that helps explain. If you're having issues with the other fields, let me know. The email field *may* show if that email address is already registered to a Joomla user.. since it wouldn't be valid for newly registering user to use it. The username field should always be pre-filled if you've asked for it to be.

Thanks,
Alex

Glad to hear you made some progress.. and backed up our findings As noted, we have the code ready and would love to make the process even smoother. If EasySocial implements a method to let us set the password sleuthly.. we'll gladly implement it.

As always, should you have any other questions or suggestions for improvements, just let me know!

Finally, if you haven't already, please consider leaving a rating and review for JFBConnect, or our support, on the Joomla Extension Directory. It certainly isn't required, but is very appreciated:
