Hello:
I have noticed when a new user logs in for the first time and uses Facebook, they will be correctly redirected to the page set up in the JFBConnect compenent. But if they enter their information manually they will only be redirected to the page set up in the JFBClogin module.

Is there any way to redirect a first time user to a page when they don't login using Facebook?

Thanks.

I'm a little confused, but I'm sure we can help get to the bottom of it. In the first sentence, you mention logging in the first time (registering). In the 2nd sentence, when you say "enter their information manually", are you talking about just logging in through Joomla (not registering through Joomla), or something else?

The reason I ask is because the Login redirection in the JFBCLogin module is only for users who have already registered on your site: either through the normal Joomla registration method or through Facebook. After this, they're just logging in using the module, and it's not their first-time.

If a user clicks the "Register for this site" link, we simply send them to the normal Joomla Registration Page, and they go from there. Unfortunately, Joomla doesn't automatically log a user in, like JFBConnect does, after they register, so there's not a great way to detect new users from old users.

Hope that helps explain, but if we're missing something in what you say, just let us know, and we'll be glad to help out!

Hi Alzander:

I only have the JFBClogin module setup as a login option. So lets say the a new users sets up a new account. They would click on "Register for this site" under the module. This would bring them to the Jomsocial, "Register new user" page. After they register, can they be redirected to a one time page like in the JFBConnect compenent or does itsimply send them to the normal Jomsocial Registration Page?

Thanks.

Ahh.. Gotcha. Yeah, we don't have any method to do a redirect for a first time user there. Our Joomla login functionality is using Joomla's login functions underneath, so we're a little beholden to what we do. There may be some ways around this, and I've added a task for us to investigate. It won't be immediately available, but maybe in an upcoming release.
