JFBConnect has the option to automatically map existing Joomla users to a Facebook account if those emails are the same. You can disable that if you want. I'm not sure what you mean about the empty fields though. Joomla doesn't let you create accounts if the fields are empty, so they shouldn't be empty when you do the 'connection' of accounts.After that, also if I yet used joomla to register, login with Facebook, if the emails are identic, I'm recognized and automatically the joomla empty fields are overwrited.
I'm not sure what you mean here. With JFBConnect, the user could login with their Facebook account (a 1-click process) or their Joomla credentials, which JFBConnect can create for them.but I'll stiil have the same Login way.
There are plugins out there that can let users login with their email address. JFBConnect doesn't have anything to do with Joomla logins though, we just create the accounts. You can configure JFBConnect to automatically create the account, and you can even set our "Auto Username Prefix:" setting to "email" so that each user's username is actually their email address.How to reduce Joomla registration with Email and Password and have then a login with Email and Password and show Name - Lastname (taken from Hikashop, auto populated from JFBConnect) and logout button ?
So, JFBConnect automatically map Joomla "Name" field with "Name" + "Last Name" Facebook fields. Is it right?alzander wrote: For the "Name" field of Joomla, that's just how they do it. JFBConnect doesn't choose to only have a Full Name field, we just fill in what Joomla is looking for. There's not any way we can directly fix that, unless you want to add an extension that adds profile functionality to your site.
With "but I'll stiil have the same Login way" I mean that also if Hikashop profile is populated from JFBConnect, When I Login the field informations are still taken from Joomla. So, not the "Name" and "Last Name" populated in Hikashop, but still the full joomla "Name" field is used as "Welcome"... Is it right?alzander wrote: 1) We haven't overhauled the profile plugin system. We're hoping that will be a part of JFBConnect v5.0, in January. At that poing, we'll be evaluating creating new profile plugins, Hikashop being one of them.
As for importing profile information, you can get the user's city, state and country. There is no way to obtain the user's street address from Facebook. They don't even ask that information of the users, so it's just not possible to get.
Have you any experience on those Extensions. You are a programmer, may be, Is there one that you prefer ? ...and Why ?alzander wrote: 5) Login with email is possible with the plugin you mention in #4
Correct. There is actually a 'Fullname' field from Facebook that we use instead of pushing the first and last name fields together, but the result is pretty much the same.So, JFBConnect automatically map Joomla "Name" field with "Name" + "Last Name" Facebook fields. Is it right?
IF there was a Hikashop profile plugin, you'd be able to import information from Facebook into the user's Hikashop profile. With or without a plugin though, the login process would be the same. The user would click the "Login with Facebook" button and they would be automatically logged into Joomla. Once logged into Joomla, other extensions, such as Hikashop, would see the user just like any other Joomla user.With "but I'll stiil have the same Login way" I mean that also if Hikashop profile is populated from JFBConnect, When I Login the field informations are still taken from Joomla. So, not the "Name" and "Last Name" populated in Hikashop, but still the full joomla "Name" field is used as "Welcome"... Is it right?
Never used them. We're fine with the username / fullname functionality of Joomla itself and don't require any extended profiles for our site or others we've worked on. For the sites that need a 'community', we recommend JomSocial, as that does it well. Additionally, since it's so popular, a lot of other extensions are built to use JomSocial profile data already.Have you any experience on those Extensions.

What's happen to the complete "Name" field if first I do the registration through joomla writing in the "Name" field - Jacky - and then login with Facebook where my "Name" is Jack and Last Name - Black -?alzander wrote: JFBConnect has the option to automatically map existing Joomla users to a Facebook account if those emails are the same
January is near, when can I get more information?1) We haven't overhauled the profile plugin system. We're hoping that will be a part of JFBConnect v5.0, in January. At that poing, we'll be evaluating creating new profile plugins, Hikashop being one of them
