Posting to FaceBook

Re- Re redirection - Let me know if you decide you can't live with something. There are redirection settings for user's logging in through Facebook and Joomla.. we think we have most bases covered, so maybe I'm missing something as to what's not working right. You should be able to send the user to the home page on logging out though.

The JFBCLogin looks to be working on those pages to me. If I go to that page and am not logged into your site, I see both the buttons. If I click on one, then I'm logged in and they dissappear. Currently, the {} JFBCLogin tag simply hides itself for users who are logged in. We'll be adding a way to show the Logout button in an upcoming release. Hopefully, that clears up the confusion, but if we're missing something here too, let us know

Best of luck, and let us know if you need anything else.. and definitely keep us posted with what you're coming up with. It's all looking good!

Regarding the JFBCLogin tag, we consider it a 'work in progress'. The Login tag was highly requested, so we squeezed it into the 3.1 release. We didn't add all the features we wanted to due to testing requirements. However, if you want to add the logout button, it's pretty easy (and similar to what we'll be doing). Edit the /plugins/system/jfbcsystem.php file, and at line 127, change the empty quotes (which are returned for registered users) to:
If you're interested in making it into a link, instead of a button, you can check out the code in this handy-dandy thread:
www.sourcecoast.com/forums/topic?id=1672&p=1#p7013

This won't do the reconnect link, as that's a little tougher. In the 3.2 release we expect to have the logout button be an option for the tag, but I don't know what our syntax will be yet. When we do come out with 3.2 though, make sure you update your tag.

As always, hope this helps, and let the debate continue!

Actually, just re-read your thread, and realize you're not necessarily looking for the logout button. Etiher way, that block of code in the jfbcsystem.php may be exactly what you're looking for to put whatever you want whether the user's logged in or not. If you actually remove the $user->guest check, it will always show the button, logged in or not. If the user is Joomla logged only, it will reconnect/remap their accounts, but the text won't say "Reconnect", it will still say "Login with Joomla".

Hope this helps narrow down the place for some changes, but if not, let me know what you want the logged in behavior for Facebook users or Joomla-only users to be, and we can obviously get you there.

Best of luck!

Glad to hear that's looking good for you.

We agree about waiting on reviews on the JED (and as developers, we don't generally leave them because it can cause us issues). Just so you know, though, you can actually contact the JED to update reviews from the past. I don't know how easy it is to do (heard it's not that bad), but if something out there has really annoyed you or some company dropped the ball, I'd get it changed. It's good for the whole community... unless you leave a good vote for JFBConnect, in which case then you're not allowed to change it...

Even if you don't review us, we'll keep up the support though, don't worry. There's no strings attached.

Best of luck to you!

That's pretty slick. I like the way that looks, very well done.

As for your other questions.. Regarding the FB post function, if you want to make it so only user's who are logged into Facebook AND have connected it to your site, you just need to update the getUserID call to look like:
$jfbcLibrary->getUserId(true);
That 'true' will get the User's FB ID only if it's connected to the user that's logged in. Hopefully, that will prevent the confusion you talk about.

Regarding what would happen if a user signs up regularly and then tries to log into with Facebook, there's a few options:
1) Enable the Automatically link user's by email - If set, and a user Logs In With Facebook, and their email address from FB is already in Joomla/JomSocial, the link will automatically be made without any further registration forms
2) Use the "Full Joomla User" option for User Creation. This will give the user the option to use an existing account to connect their Facebook account with

In either case, someone can create 2 accounts if they have 2 email addresses. This is something they can do in normal Joomla too, of course.

Hope this helps, but if not, where there is support required, I'll be there!
