Facebook connect/jomsocial registration problem

Rhyn,
The loginregister page you mention is JFBConnect's standard page when a user hasn't ever 'connected' their account to your site. It allows them to login with an existing Joomla account or create a new user to associate their Facebook account too.

As for the authorization of user, JomSocial uses Joomla's built in user authentication and approval methods, which JFBConnect also supports. If you have Joomla configured to require admin approval of user's, JFBConnect won't automatically log that user in on initial registration, and they will be marked as 'blocked' in the Joomla user manager. This will also prevent them from logging in in the future either through Joomla or Facebook.

Also, when you're using the JomSocial profile plugin, when a user registers, we'll create the user in JomSocial automatically. I'm not sure of what cases your talking about where a user won't exist in JomSocial otherwise.

Hope that all helps explain. It's very possible I'm confuses on something though, so just let me know if you need more info.

Thanks,
Alex

Rhyn,
Check to make sure that the JFBConnect configuration setting for "Skip New User Activation" is not enabled and also check that, in the Global Configuration area of Joomla that the "New User Activation" setting is enabled.

If there's a specific setting within JomSocial that you're also relying on for requiring activation, let us know, because we're not aware of any additional activation settings in there. If so, we may need to modify our JomSocial profile plugin to accommodate those settings, but it shouldn't be too difficult.

Thanks,
Alex

Rhyn,
That's the setting I was looking for: "I have set the specific profile in jomsocial to require Admin authorisation.". I don't think we were aware of that capabilitiy in JomSocial to set specific profiles to require authorization. We'll look into this now, and if possible, get an update for our JomSocial profile plugin out over the next few days or early next week. I can't guarantee a timeline until we investigate further though.

Finally, can you let me know what version of JomSocial you're using, so we know we're testing against the right version?

Thanks,
Alex

Marc,
This is something we're looking into for an update to JFBConnect. However, I can't really tell if you're using JFBConnect or not. Either way, we're hoping to have an update out for our extension soon, which integrates and improves upon JomSocial's built-in Facebook integration.

Thanks,
Alex

Prabin,
Yes, it can. Please look at the page below which shows an example of the profile selection and other information about benefits of JFBConnect over JomSocial's standard Facebook integration:

If you have any other pre-sales questions, please put them in the pre-sales forum and start a new thread.

Thanks,
Alex
