If I have Kunena already integrated with cb do I only need cb plugin? I was just wondering if the new profile in cb would act like a traditionally cb/kunena integrated profile existing for both programs. I just didn't want to have both in if it would end up making a seperate profile for Kunena. I hope that makes sense. Installing now and the documentation for configuring is amazing so far. I am thinking all the reviews about you guys might be right.
The reviews are right Glad you're liking things so far.
As for Kunena, if you already have Kunena setup to read from the user's CB profile, we'd recommend you keep it that way and -not- install the JFBConnect Kunena profile plugin. If you did install it, it shouldn't cause any problems.. it'd just import the information into Kunena.. but since you aren't using that profile, it'd just be a waste. Kunena's profile is hard-coded, whereas CB is configurable, so you have more flexibility with the way you have it. We have the Kunena integration mainly for users that aren't using CB or JomSocial.
Hope that helps, and good luck. If you run into anything else, you know where to find us!
Thanks so much Alex. I had a lot of trouble like others with the community builder plugin but fyi for some of the problems I have seen on the forum like you have said the position of the user plugins with joomla first and FBC needs to be j then FBC but I am not sure but you may want to include user SYNC in between seemed to make everything work for me. Not sure if its related but it did the trick for me and cleared up all problems I was having easily so I figured I would pass it along. That CB plugin is not an easy one to configure correctly.
The only thing I hope for in future updates are less ugly usernames if possible, but I understand. Can't wait to start integrating more.
Yeah, usernames (for the Facebook Only accounts) is something we're going to make configurable either in 3.2 or 3.3. We had it configurable looong ago, but caused more confusion than it was worth. We're ready to take a stab at it again, cause we agree, it's ugly.
Thanks for the tip about the user sync. We're excited for the 3.2 release because it removes the requirement we have about the ordering of our user plugin, which will hopefully make integration with other stuff (and general configuration) a little simpler.
Good luck, and we welcome any other feedback you may have. Its where we get most of our ideas!
Oh, I'm sure you realized this, but wanted to point out, if if you use the Full Joomla User option, the user can create their own username... just an added step during registration.
Thank you I did notice that, but if I could get people to fill out a form, you'd be out of business.....lol. But seriously, that is an option I may use in the future thanks. BTW, I started on this forum pretty early today and saw you answering all day. Get some rest, and I will write a good review in Joomla tomorrow. Thanks for the help.
Yeah, that's why we have both options. Some sites, you can ask for more info, other's it's 'get em in as fast as you can'.
As for the trolling the forums, this is our job, and it's a full time gig. I also have a little baby, so I'm up all day and night anyways Hope you found what you needed here, but if there's anything that could be made clearer (or added) in the documentation, let us know. We dream of a day when no one has to visit the forums...
