Switch from JomSocial FBConnect goes to Re-registration

There's 2 options that are available to you right now.. one's imperfect, but should hopefully help get you going. The other's much more solid, but isn't available yet.
1) Try enabling the "Automatically Link Facebook Users by Email:". This setting, when enabled, will perform a check at login through Facebook. This check will see if a user with the same email address as the Facebook user already exists on your site. If so, their account will automatically be mapped to this account. Since JomSocial imports the email address from Facebook, and we look at this same address when someone logs in, this should fix the issue you're seeing where JFBConnect 'thinks' its a new user.
2) In JFBConnect 3.1, we're investigating a method to import previous connections from JomSocial. This should definitely fix your problem, but unfortunately, 3.1 isn't quite finished yet (though it's getting there).

Hope this helps give you some options. If your confused, or have any other questions, don't hesitate to let us know. Sorry for the troubles!

Thanks,
Alex

We're still looking at it getting out this month. That's already delayed, unfortunately, but there's a lot of development and testing that goes into each release, so we don't give exact dates for release.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I just extended your subscription by an additional month for the trouble, just so you know. Not fun subscribing to something you can't use. Hope that helps, and we'll definitely be announcing to the world when the new release is available.

We actually have 3.1 running on this site currently. We're 'taking our own dogfood' as we always do by running it on our site first to make sure there are no major gotchas. Got it up this morning, and are putting just a few final touches together (updated configuration guide, etc). The new version should be uploaded for subscribers on Wednesday.

In the new version, we're moving to a plugin system for profile integration. When you install the new component, you'll want to install/enable the JomSocial profile plugin as well. Then, in the component UserMap area, there will be a button for "Importing Connections" which will transfer connections from JomSocial over to JFBConnect. We've tested it quite a bit internally, and it's pretty straightfoward how it works. The only thing we haven't tested with is on a site with huge amounts of users. Do you know, roughly, how many connections you'll be importing?

These instructions will hopefully be captured pretty well in the revised configuration guide too, don't worry if the above doesn't make too much sense without pretty pictures as a guide

Thanks for the well-wishes, as well as your patience.

That shouldn't be a problem for the method we did. The worry is that with a huge number you may get a timeout or some other issue, but I don't think under a thousand should be a problem.

Still shooting for Wed (or sooner if things go smoothly). Thanks!

Good news! JFBConnect 3.1 is now available in the download area. The Upgrade guide has been updated as well as the configuration guide with information on the new settings.
