I have an e-commerce site running J1.5 and VirtueMart 1.1.6.
Will the Login with Facebook work in my VirtueMart Login module please?

Thanks

JFBConnect creates standard Joomla users, which Virtuemart, or any other extension, can use like normal. There is currently no additional integration with Virtuemart though, so a user created would be just like a user that's created by going through the normal Joomla registration flow. There are many sites that use JFBConnect and Virtuemart together, so this may not be an issue for you, but tighter integration (where we pull a users Facebook information or add them to a specific shopping group) is not something we currently do for Virtuemart. We already have the profile import integration for JomSocial, Community Builder, Agora, Kunena, and K2, so if you're using one of those extensions, you can import the user's information there and Virtuemart may be able to take advantage of it already.

As for adding the actual "Login With Facebook" button to your current site, that's very simple. All you need to do is add the text {JFBCLogin} to wherever you want the button to appear, and JFBConnect will place it there. This can be in your existing VirtueMart login module, in an article, or in a custom HTML module. That's in addition to our own JFBCLogin module, which is basically the Joomla login module with the additional button.

Hope that helps!
Alex

Hi Alex

Thanks for your reply.

Please can you go into more detail about how to add the text {JFBCLogin} to the VirtueMart Login? Is that in the backoffice or in a php file?

Thanks

It would be in a php file, generally in the directory structure I mentioned above (again, I don't know if the module you're using follows this norm though). Can you tell me what the name of the module you're using is so I can look into it further? It's probably something like mod_virtuemartlogin.

P.S. After I post this, I'll be moving this question to the Support board out of Pre-Sales as it's in the wrong area.
