Hi,

I have jfbconnect 2.5. I prompt users for email permssions to connect after signing via facebook. I know that the code did not come with this option but I managed to add it and was able to get either the email or proxy email. Howerver since i am creating pseudo users when i select proxy email i get an erro that says invalid email and username and Username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet.

When i try to create a joomla user via the registration with the email that i tried to create a pseudo user with i get an invalid activation link.

I also dont get prompted again with permissions if i want to sign in with facebook again. It basically just gives me those errors like if theres a cookie and it tries to log me in but creating a pseudo user never occurs and i juste get those erros and i need to clear the cache on the browser but still get those errors again.

We've definitely made some improvements in 2.6 for both pseudo users and the proxy email stuff (which wasn't there before). We have the pseudo-user (Create New Users: Off) set on this site. While we don't require activation on this site, you can try creating an account with FB here and see if the proxy email stuff works as expected. The demo site has Create New Users: Yes, if you'd like to try this functionality there.

Sorry I can't help you more with the custom modifications, but I'm not sure how you went about them, so it's tough to diagnose the specific issues you're encountering.

Hi, I managed to resolve the issue. It seems that joomla wasnt able to register the pseudo users because of the long proxy emails. My older account that I had was working but i found out that newer facebook accounts came with 5 more digits to the proxy email. So I had to allow for longer emails.
