Topic-icon You are already a registered user! warning

Hello:

I was testing the JFConnect with my Jomsocial setup. Everything seems to work fine until I enter my login info. No matter what I enter, I get a "Facebook profile successfully connected." followed by, "You are already a registered user!" warning.

I receive the new user email and the new users shows up in joomla, but the login process does not go beyond the warning error.

That's very odd, and obviously not right. First off, do you have JomSocial's Facebook Connect integration enabled? If so, disable it by removing the API/Secret keys from it and setting it's options to 'no'.
Next, ensure that the JFBConnect Overview page doesn't show any errors or warning s in the Facebook Application area or the "Required Extensions" version check area.

Finally, if all those seem correct, send us the URL of the page with the login box and we'll do what we can to determine the problem. A lot of the time, looking at the HTML of the page will be enough for us to diagnose the problem.

Thanks,
Alex

I just registered, and saw what you meant. The problem, I think, is how you have your new-user redirect setup. It's going to the "Registration Page", but since JFBConnect has created the user and logged them in, when you go to that page, JomSocial is not letting them register because they already have an account.

Instead of redirecting the user to the registration page, you should create a menu item (External Link type) to the following URL:
index.php?option=com_community&view=profile&task=edit

Then, you can set the JFBConnect new user redirection to go to that page, and I think your problem should be fixed. Hope that makes sense, but if not, just let us know and we'll help you out.

Thanks, and good luck!

Soo close....

That worked but, I'm getting a 500 error with that link. I understand what you trying to accomplish with the redirect, but here is the problem. On that page, it will not force the new user to fill out the additional information. They can just click off the page and go to another part of the site since they are now registered. On the Jomsocial mod, as soon as the facebook information is ported over to the site, they are presented with the additional information and they are required to complete it before being registered.

On both the JFBconnect mod and component there is a spot requesting what login to use, "Joomla", "Jomsocial", or "CB". I thought that was for redirecting JFConnect to use a particular login. If that is true shouldn't it be using the JomSocial login, which in turn should be asking the additional customized questions on login?

Thanks.

Currently, JFBConnect does not have a way to request and force the additional required fields if they are not imported from Facebook. We're working on updates to the JomSocial plugin to add those fields to the login/register page after connecting with Facebook. Until then though, I think the above solution is the best bet, but yes, it's not fool-proof.

As for the Login module setting, that simply sets where the "Register" link in the module should point to in case the user wants to register normally, and not through Facebook. If a user registers through Facebook, it doesn't alter that behavior at all (that's done through the profile plugins).

Hope that makes sense.
