I've made a"Facebook user only" signup, but need the users to accept the community-terms before signup. How can I in the signup process get a page with the terms that the users have to accept?

You can't with the Facebook User Only setting, since there's no page for the user's to have additional confirmation messages. With the Full Joomla User mode, you can add enable the Show Terms setting in the JomSocial profile plugin to do it, but that's the only method available to show the terms of service.

The best suggestion I can give, if you only want to use the Facebook User Only setting is to edit your Facebook Application, and in the Settings->Advanced area, there is a setting for "Terms of Service URL:". When the authentication/login pop-up from Facebook appears, the link will be in that box. There's no confirmation checkbox available to make sure the user has accepted it, but it's the only way to present it to the user in that mode.

Hope that helps,
Alex

Thanks... I'll do it that way. Hopefully thats just as good legally.

Do you plan in the future for an option to make such custom pages in the signup-process?

No, we won't be adding that to the Facebook User Only mode in the future. That mode is meant to be an automated creation process with no user intervention. For extra fields, we have the Full Joomla User process. It's simply be too complicated to develop (and likely configure) to have 3 separate modes which would have minor differences and benefits between each.

Hope that helps explain, but if you feel otherwise, feel free to let us know why. We can always be convinced of things :)

Thats totally understandable.... The only reason that I ditched the full joomla profile is that the page where the user has to choose between creating a new user or connect to an existing account is so confusing that even I cant make it work... But maybe I'll take an extra look at that later on :)

We haven't heard of that page being a problem before (and it's been in JFBConnect for a few years now), however, we'll check it out again to see if there's any way to clean it up. Just so you know, you can create a template override for that page to completely override the look in anyway you want (including removing the login side or something drastic like that). If interested in how, just let us know and we can help.

Finally, on the demo site, we have it set up in a very similar fashion to what you're looking for.. a minimal registration form with a "Terms of Service" checkbox. If you haven't tested out the demo site lately, you should check it out:

Best of luck,
Alex

Great :)

If I later change to Full-joomla profiles would that affect previously members that made "Facebook-only" accounts?

Nope, not at all. Once a user is created (or an existing user maps their account to Facebook), JFBConnect treats them the exact same way. We intentionally made it very easy to switch back and forth between the two to allow as much flexibility as you want as your site grows.

Hope that helps,
Alex
