Topic-icon Not posting status updates & connect button question

Active Subscriptions:

None
Hi. I followed the configuration guide and everything seems to be working well except it's not posting the status update on Facebook. I have that option set to yes and have text in the New User status message. What am I missing?

Also, once a new user has connected through FB and then registered for the joomla account, there is a connect button that shows up, asking if they want to connect the two accounts. How can I make that automatic? That button is easily missed and we want the process to be as easy a possible.

You can see it at parentworlddev.heymisterdesigns.com.
Thanks.
Bonnie

Howdy,
Both issues are almost always caused by the ordering of the user plugin. If you look at the JFBConnect Overview page, in the "Required Extensions" area, there is likely a warning showing up there. Please ensure the JFBConnect - User plugin is ordered higher (and not equal) to the Joomla user plugin. Once a user registers through Facebook/JFBConnect, the "Connect this account" button shouldn't appear.

If this doesn't help, let us know, and we'll help you figure it out!

Hi Alex. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I was confused by "ordered higher," thinking that meant higher in the list (as in above the other one) not a higher/bigger order number (that makes it actually go lower in the list). Yeah, kinda confused. But I got it now.

Thanks!

You're not the only one. We're actually going to be putting an even more glaring warning with a (hopefully better) explanation in (we hope) v3.2. We've worded that message about 6 different ways, put a big note in the config guide, and done lots of other things. However, we understand where the confusion comes from, and, for being a subscriber, you can ask any question you want! Thank you!

P.S. I'm assuming your issue is fixed now?
