Switch from JomSocial FBConnect goes to Re-registration

Great to hear the profile mapping works.

I just tried to register/login and got "We were unable to retrieve your Facebook account information. Please try again". This usually occurs when the Authentication or User plugins aren't enabled, or the User plugin is ordered incorrectly. Can you ensure on the JFBConnect Overview page that everything in the "Required Extensions" column has no 'x's or errors?

If that doesn't work, could you Private Message us super admin credentials and we'll take a peak ourselves?

Thanks

Gilan,
Overall good news, with a minor problem. First, the good news. Things seem to be working now. I removed your FB API and Secret Key from JomSocial, as I think that was the issue. This is now making the blue Login With Facebook button in the top right dissappear (with a message), because that's JomSocial's button. If you can edit that module, you can simply replace their Facebook button with the text { JFBCLogin} and our button will appear (no spaces in that tag). Let me know if that's not clear and I can help more.

The bad news is that for some reason the user's Facebook email address is not being pre-populated on the registration form. For the time being, I simply changed the "Email field on registration form" to "Show" so that a user can put in an email address. Otherwise, the user couldn't be saved (no email address).

We're looking into why this would happen, and can't recreate locally, but we'll get to the bottom of it.

Finally, I upgraded you to 3.1.1 which has a bug-fix for an issue discovered by another user today. Don't plan on major version churn, but it happens when 'big' releases like this come out.

Thanks for your patience, and hopefully everything goes pretty smoothly from here on out.

Very happy to hear that things are going well now. I'm not sure why the email was missing for us, but keep an eye on it. It could have been a cache issue or about 20 other things. We login/out of Facebook constantly, which causes issues with our accounts (security stuff) periodically. If you ever note any odd behavior with that email field, let us know.

My very educated guess is that in the next point release (3.1.2), we'll put a check to see if the email address is blank, and if so, show the field regardless of your Show/Hide setting. Hopefully, it will never come into play, but will put our minds at ease.

Now, to your new questions. We contemplated adding the logout button option, but there's nothing there now. We plan to add/update that soon, and it will be part of the JFBCLogin tag, like {JFBCLogin showLogout.. or something like that. Unfortunately, it's not there yet... an option, though not great, is to use the JFBCLogin module and set it to 'registered'. You can hide just about everything that shows up in that module when you're logged in, and may suite your needs, but it's not as 'positionable' as a tag.

Finally, for the Login/Register page, you can find it in the following location:
/components/com_jfbconnect/views/loginregister/tmpl/default.php

You shouldn't modify it there though, and should use a template override. That will prevent your changes from being destroyed when we release an upgrade. The template override would be a copy of the default.php file in the directory below:
/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_jfbconnect/loginregister/default.php

For more information on template overrides, see that section:

Thanks for the feedback, and let us know if you have any other questions!

The delay is variable depending on how Facebook is behaving, the speed of your site, how many profiles your integrating with, etc. We're always on the lookout for speed improvements, and continue to refine things with each release. I like the timer idea, just not sure how feasible it will be to implement.. we'll see

Anyways, thanks for the feedback and the praise. We're happy your happy, and your subscription is a huge thank you. If you are happy with JFBConnect, please also feel free to leave a review on the Joomla Extension Directory (link is in my signature). It's by no means required, but another good way to show your support.

Thanks again!
