hey alex, simple question:
when I try to turn on auto-logging in when a user is already at facebook I must set joomla logout+facebook logout to yes. why??
I really like the idea of auto-login but when the user realizes that logging out of my joomla site will log him out at facebook he surely doesn't want to come back ^^

why isn't it possible to auto-login with facebook and when logging out of joomla the user can still be logged in at facebook?

The reason is because it causes a loop. When auto-logging in is enabled, JFBConnect will check if the user is logged into Facebook, then check if that user is mapped to a Joomla user on the site, and then try to log that user in.

If you don't log the user out of Facebook when you log them out of Joomla, the following happens:
* User logs out of Joomla + Facebook
* Logout redirection occurs
* JFBConnect detects that no Joomla user is currently logged in, so it checks if there is a user currently logged into Facebook
** If so (which it will be), JFBConnect tries to log that user in

In short, it will prevent the user from every logging out of your site by automatically logging them back in.

Hope that helps explain,
Alex

Sibani,
There is no user account on this site with that email address. If you have access to the account, please post to this topic and we can add the subscription to this account.

Your issue looks to be that the JFBConnect Javascript file isn't being included on the page. Do you have any idea why that wouldn't be there?

Hope that helps get you started,
Alex

No problem. Please look into getting your subscription information up-to-date. You'll need it to get access to the 4.1 release due out soon which has tons of great new features.

Thanks,
Alex
