JomSocial registration page - adding facebook connect

Sure there's help! That's what we're here for

What version of JomSocial are you using? Those instructions were written with JomSocial 2.0 (and checked that they work with 2.2 as well). 2.4 did come out last week, and it's possible they changed their template file structure or names.

Also, you're missing the template name above. Usually, the path looks like this (using the 'default' template):
/components/com_community/templates/default/register.index.php

Yes.. you either want to modify it directly in the components/com_community/templates/default/register.index.php file (not recommended) or copy that file to:
/templates/ja_social/html/com_community/register.index.php

By copying it there, you're creating a "Template Override". This is good so that when you upgrade JomSocial in the future, your modifications to their template files aren't overridden.

Hope that helps, and good luck,
Alex

Make sure caching is disabled on your site (both Global Configuration and the System - Cache plugin, if enabled) while making these changes. Then, try making text changes in the file your editing (not just adding the {JFBCLogin} tag) and see if that appears. If not, you're likely modifying the wrong file or modifying the wrong section of the file.

Finally, disabling SEF URLs may help. Sometimes, the template being loaded can be seen in the URL and may help you track down the right file to edit in the com_community folder (or to create a template override from).

Hope that helps, but if not, let us know, and we'll keep looking. You may want to try asking JomSocial where that specific file is as well as they may be able to point it out better.

Thanks,
Alex

Sorry for not knowing the specifics. The above should work, so I'm just a little confused. I'm pretty sure we're just about there, but must be missing something.

Should you need anything else from us, just let me know, and we'll be glad to help however we can.

Thanks,
Alex

Yes, that should work.. depending on where you're doing it. The file name looks correct, but please make sure you understand the ordering of how Joomla and JomSocial will look for that file. In order of priority, it will be:
1) /template/<your_template>/html/com_community/register.index.php (assuming <your_template> is "ja_social")
2) /components/com_community/templates/<JS_Template>/register.index.php (<JS_Template> is defined in your JomSocial configuration, usually "default")
3) /components/com_community/templates/default/register.index.php (this is used if #2 isn't using "default"

So, if you modify in positions 2 or 3, but the file in #1 exists, that will be used no matter what.. so check those spots, and hopefully you're just modifying the wrong file. If not though (and I don't know the ja_social template or your site configuration in general), you may need to contact JA or JS.

Hope we get you going soon!
