Hi Alex, trust you are well. I got an email on Sunday confirming my review was accepted, hope you like!

I want to ask if the following is a possibility. I'm not getting a great response from my login, and want to rather create a banner with a link together with your fb module. Iow, if you have a look on my site, www.cuesportfever.com, there is a mini banner on the right hand side (says "Pool Loyalty Card"), which I'd like to change for a banner with a big fb logo, saying "Connect now with your fb account!" etc. If I right click your "Login with FB" button there is no URL that comes up. Is what I want possible, and if so, how can I do it?

Not sure I fully understand what you mean, but I think both of the below are possible.. just let me know which your goal:
1) Login With Facebook button in that 'mini-banner' area. Maybe some text around it (or Facebook logo) that says "Now you can log in to Cue Sport Fever with Facebook!"
2) A link in that area with the same text/image as above, but the link will bring you to a page about logging in, it's benefits, and other stuff.. with the Login With Facebook button or a standard registration form.

Thanks!

Yes, your number 1 analysis, however, when you click on it, just like when you click on your "connect with facebook" button, the small window appears, connects via the api, and asks for your fb details to login...

Also, curently, it doesn't allow someone who is not a member of csf just to login with fb, they have to login to csf first, in order for your app to work. Where can I change this?

To do a banner on your own should be pretty simple. I'm not sure how you're creating that banner now, but hopefully it doesn't have to be through the same method..

What you want to do is create a new "Custom HTML" module. Place it in the Banner 3 (or Banner 2, it looks like) position. When editing that module, there's a big box for free-form text. From here, you can do what you want as far as text goes, and wherever you want the Login With Facebook button, simply type { JFBCLogin}.. You can insert images and do anything here that a website can normally do, but just make sure you don't go beyond the dimensions of wherever you're putting it:
No you can log into CSF with Facebook
{ JFBCLogin}

Hope that helps get you started. Something else you may want to look into is Advanced Module Manager, which we highly recommend. It's very easy to use, and will actually let you specify that the new module you created should only be shown to guests and not users who are logged in. For more info:

As for requiring the user to be logged in, that's definitely not right. I couldn't see a login button on the site to test with, but generally, something like that is caused when the JFBConnect Authentication plugin isn't enabled or the JFBConnect User plugin isn't enabled or is ordered improperly. Check to make sure that it has a higher number than the Joomla User plugin in the ordering column. If that fix it, let us know where to log in (or get the module above working), and we'll see what we can do.
