Virtuemart Account Maintenance

Adam,
The easiest way, actually, is to add the Login With Facebook button to the Virtuemart login module. The VM module has both a pre-text and a post-text parameter, and in either of those, all you should need to do is add something like:You can obviously put whatever text (or none at all) in there.

If you really want to modify the JFBCLogin module to add the Account Maintenance link, we can help, but it will take modifying the template file for the JFBCLogin module.. Not hard, but a little more work.

Glad you're overall happy with JFBConnect, and thanks for subscribing!

Hope that helps,
Alex

Should be. In the next release of JFBConnect, it will be much simpler, as we're moving to a new Login module that works with our LinkedIn extension as well. The template files will be much cleaner there.. but, not out right now

To add the link, you'd want to modify the /modules/mod_jfbclogin/tmpl/default.php file. The top half of the file is the login form, the bottom half is the logout portion. Around line 194, you should see the following, which is the start of the logout button:To add the Account Maintence Link, you'd simply want to add it directly above that, so altogether, it will look like:The JRoute call in there simply creates an SEF version of the URL, if you have that enabled. You should be able to remove that portion just fine as well and create a normal link.

When 4.1 comes out later this year, you'll need to do it again with the SCLogin module. It should be simpler, but of course if you run into issues, we're here to help!

Thanks, and good luck,
Alex

Adam,
Try the following. If it doesn't work, it will take a little more code, but not much.. just don't want to add stuff that isn't necessary. At the very top of that default.php file, right below the defined('_JEXEC') at line #7, please put:Then, try to do whatever you want to do.

Really hope that helps!
Alex

Yup Change it to the below, and hopefully, you'll be good to go:
What you were doing was assigning the VM_LANG translation to a variable named $text. But weren't actually echo'ing (printing it to the screen) anywhere. Above, I just echo it directly, instead of saving it to a variable.

Hope that helps, and keep us posted!

Adam,
Glad we could get you going!

You can have JFBConnect automatically create the username for the user by setting the "User Creation" setting to "Facebook User Only". This allows for a 1-click registration by bypassing the "Login or Register" page that you're seeing.

However, and this is a big however, that does not work at all when the Virtuemart plugin is enabled. The reason is that we (JFBConnect) have to create a user within Virtuemart's database table. Virtuemart will not let a user be created if all required profile information is not filled out (street address, phone number, etc). Since most of the information is not able to be retrieved from Facebook, the Login/Register page is required so that the user can fill out those fields.

Hope that makes sense... it's something we've tried to work around in the past to enable that "Facebook User Only", but haven't had any luck due to the requirements of Virtuemart.

Let us know if you have any other questions, and good luck!
Alex
