I am using jomsocial and jrpassphrase. the Jrpassphrase intercepts the registration request and provides a module to enter a password to prevent people from registering that should not have access to the site, the once the correct password is entered it redirects you to the registration page.

JFBC goes around this and lets you register as a joomla user. IS there anyway to integrate this make it so you have to enter a password to register?

Thanks.

Jeremy,
I've never used jrpassphrase again, but it probably can work with JFBConnect. First, you'd need to make sure that JFBConnect is setup to use the "Full Joomla User" option. Then, inside the jrpassphrase plugin (either in the code, or if they have a way to add extra registration pages), you'll need to add the following URL:
index.php?option=com_jfbconnect&view=loginregister
I'm not sure how you'd need to add that URL, and I'm only guessing on what you need to do from your description. If you contact the developers of that extension, they may be able to use the info above to help if you're unsure how to do it.

Best of luck,
Alex

Thanks,

I added this url, but the problem is once I hit register the user is already registered then it takes me to module to input the password. I would need to be able to input the password before being able to register. I know it something that would not interest but only a very small few but it would be a nice feature, if active give only the password box on the register form and once inputted correctly would display the registration fields Ajax style.

I know I will probably never see it added but never hurts to ask!

Thanks for the info

Jeremy,
What is the setting you have configured for "User Creation" in JFBConnect? Like I mentioned, it should be "Full Joomla User". If not, the user will be immediately created after the Login With FB button is created. That's how the "Facebook User Only" setting works.

I'm not sure what you mean about the AJAX thing. There's no connection between an input field on the page and the Login With Facebook button, so if you would want them to input the secret word and then hit the Login With FB link, that simply isn't possible. Facebook has no way for us to pass additional information to them to perform the login, which is what would be needed (and then they'd have to pass it back to us to validate).

Hope that helps get you started,
Alex

I have it set to full joomla user and not skip activation.

How I see it working is a first time user hits the login with facebook button and when they have the option of connecting their account or registering for a new account which in my case will be a jomsocial user. There would be a password field instead of the JFBC registration field. Once they input the password, like a multi-part form opens up to show the registration form as it normally would. If they input the wrong code then it gives a warning and does not let them register.
Or simply just have the first field with text box that must have the password to send the registration form. Otherwise if they are not registering an account the facebook button login would work like normal.

The reason for this is I have a family site that I want to make as easy as possible for family to use and most are facebook users. But it will contain private info that I don't want the public to see. Using something like a password to prevent unauthorized poeple from registering seems to be easiest without have to manually create each user or approve each member.

I have attached a screen shot of a basic idea.

Missy,
I moved your post to the thread below as it was mostly unrelated to this post:
www.sourcecoast.com/forums/jfbconnect/jf...ton-for-unregistered

Jeremy.
I understand what you're looking for, but that's not something we'd be adding to JFBConnect. With Joomla 1.7, there is a new "Admin Approval" mechanism and with JomSocial, if you use the Multi-Profile system, you can set different profiles to be "Needs Approval". We'd recommend you use either of those systems for now, which will let you approve any users that want to join the site.

I'm still uncertain if the jrpassphrase functionality isn't working with the Full Joomla User setting enabled. Hopefully, you can get that to work, if necessary, or the activation options above will work.

Thanks,
Alex

No worries, as I said before I was pretty sure this would be something that would only interest a very small amount of users if anyone else at all.
I tried jrpassphrase many different ways and could not get it function as needed with your recommendations.

Also im still using joomla 1.5, and have no plans to upgrade yet. However I did find a great plugin that does what you are talking about. It sends admin an email once the user clicks the link in the activation to request approval. So this will do what I need it too with very little interaction from me and In retrospect probably better than jrpassphrase.

Thanks for your time!

Understand not upgrading. We're still using J1.5 on this site, but planning to migrate to 2.5 later this year.

Either way, glad you got what you're looking for. Manually approving users for such a closed site is a good idea, and what we'd recommend. The special key likely wouldn't get around (and could be changed), but still could cause other issues down the road.

Best of luck,
Alex
