Topic-icon Username already used but not error message during registration

Active Subscriptions:

Hello !

I'm using CB 1.3.1 and JFBConnect 4.0.2. If I try to register via JFBConnect and choose a username which is already used I do not get any error message
but simply a redirection to the landing page. Is this a bug or a feature? I was expecting some message that the username is already taken and that the user should
choose a different one.

Any tipps
Thanks for your support
Frank

Frank,
Which landing page are you taken too? You should have an error bar at the top notifying you that the username is taken and be redirected back to the Login/Register page where you create the account.

If the error bar isn't showing, try using the default Joomla template (temporarily). Some templates sometimes hide the error bar.

If you're redirected elsewhere, let us know the page, and we'll look into what could be causing that.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

thanks for your quick answer. Our template is missing this part which I think is the root cause? Can you confirm?

<div class="error">
<h2>
<?php echo JText::_('Message'); ?>
</h2>
<jdoc:include type="message" />
</div>

Thanks
Frank

Rank,
Yes, the jdoc:include statement is the one that will display any system errors/notices. Without that, any notice/error messages that JFBConnect (or any other extension) generates won't be displayed on the front end.

Hope that helps!

Frank,
No problem, glad it was that easy. If you need anything else, just let us know.

Also, you're subscription for JFBConnect looks to have expired. Not sure when it did, but we just released v4.1 with a lot of great new stuff, including the ability to send Facebook Requests. For more information, see our blog post:

Best of luck,
Alex
