Do you know what caused the problem, or how it was fixed? We'd like to know, in case there's something we can do to prevent it in the future.

Thanks

The problem is due to Joomla User plugin. As we need to use the fbconnect components, we may disable the plugin carelessly.
Normally, you login administrative panel and disable Joomla User plugin.
When the other users login, the effect for different browers is / are:
    redirect again and again for a long long time
    get redirect loop error
    white page
    Error http:500

At this time if you logout from administrative panel, you will not able to login again from front-end and back-end.

The solution is to enable the Joomla User plugin.
if you can't login to administrative panel, you need go to the database.
Find the database of joomla and go to the table XXX_plugins (XXX is the prefix of the database when you install joomla).Then you can find User - Joomla!, change the published field from 0 to 1. Then, normally you can login again.

Hope it can help!! :) :D

Ah yes, didn't realize you disabled the Joomla User plugin. Our User plugin only allows you to login through Facebook.. but we don't allow Facebook users to log into the admin area.. so you'd still need Joomla to take care of those logins.

I'm not sure if you wanted to disable the User plugin altogether, but if so, let us know. We're curious as to what you're trying to do.

Thanks for the feedback!
