4Qs Redirect Login 403 error | Registration Component | Found KA issue

Pete,
Hopefully the below answers get you going. If not, let us know:
1) When you setup a redirect in the SCLogin module, use a menu item that is not an Alias or URL link. If you are using a menu item that is for an extension, can you tell us (from the menu manager) what kind of menu item it is? Looking for something like "Articles » Category / Blog".

2) The Registration component setting just chooses where the "Register for this site" link goes to. If you have custom profiles setup for Community Builder or JomSocial, you should set it to one of those (so the user is asked to fill out that information during registration). If you just want the basic username, email, password, set it to Joomla.

2a) That setting shouldn't affect logging in. It also can be changed at any time without affecting previous registrations.

3) I'd recommend switching the JFBCFan module. If you'd prefer not to, the issue is because other Facebook extensions include the Facebook Javascript library in the 'simple' form, which prevents a lot of advanced functionality from Facebook (like authentication) from working. You'll need to prevent the other extension from including the Facebook library file (all.js) on the page either through a setting (if available) or by modifying their template output.

4) In the Configuration area of JFBConnect, there's a setting for "Automatically Log Facebook User's In". Enable that, and it should do what you're looking for.

Finally, I'm not sure why you're using Community Builder and JomSocial on the same site. Those extensions have very similar features and overlap a lot. Additionally, it may be confusing for your users to have 2 profiles, 2 walls, etc. Just wanted to point out that that's not a common configuration for a site... there are times where I've seen it useful, but not often. Just wanted to point it out.

Hope that all helps,
Alex

I'll just type how I think
Good that you're not using both. Generally, we recommend JomSocial. It has it's issues (every extension does), but CB is very cumbersome and hard to work with/modify, and generally not nearly as easy as JomSocial is.

Glad you found our JFBCFan module. We think we pretty much do what every other extension does.. just all-in-one, and hopefully simpler/better where possible. Glad you can reduce what you have installed.

As for the 403 error, if you go to the Menu Manager in Joomla, can you open the Menus manager in the Joomla admin area and look up that menu item. It should be of type "JomSocial -> Profile" (I think that's what you meant above, but check). If you click into that menu item (where you can change the title of the link and set parameters and stuff), there's a Link field in there. It's not editable, should be read-only, and I think should be:
index.php?option=com_community&view=profile
If it's not that link, let us know what it is.

Other things to try:
* Disable SEF URLs (temporarily) and see if that fixes it.
* Disable your language translation stuff (JoomFish?) and see if that fixes it.

If either does fix it, let us know, and we'll do what we can to help you get around them.

Thanks,
Alex

Oh, also, on your JomSocial home page ( here ), you have 2 Login With Facebook buttons. Please check out our JomSocial integration information for some pointers on the best way to make JFBConnect and JomSocial work best together:

Pete,
I'll agree.. huh?! I'm not sure what caused it to work (or not work) above.. but am glad to hear it sounds like it is going. I looked over your details, and everything seems correct. The API key in JomSocial should definitely be turned off, but that's for other reasons, and shouldn't affect the redirect at all. Hopefully the 'huh' should be more directed at why it -didn't- work before, instead of how it works now. Of course, if you find issues, just let us know.

For your final question.. when the user clicks the activation link, it doesn't log the user in. That should just be a "Thanks for activating" page, and then the user actually has to login from there. Do you have anything different setup that would cause the user to be logged in?

Let us know, and we'll try to help further.

Thanks,
Alex
