hi,

I have a issue with "Login with Facebook" button... it's not showing. I updated JFBConnect to the lastest version but it's still not working.

I'm placing {JFBCLogin} variable into my template to specify the position of FB button. This was working just fine for many months but for some reason the button is not showing in the last few days. SCLogin module is installed but not pusblished. I have Login Button Type set to "Image link" and Link Image property is set to http://my-domain/images/facebook-login.png

Please advice how to fix this issue - most of my users are comming from Facebook and this is a big problem for me. So far it's woking somehow only on Firefox (still not very consistently), but the button is not there for Chrome and IE

regards

The problem is due to a recent bug in Facebook's Javascript API that you can read more about in the report below:
developers.facebook.com/bugs/500201816697073

The problem causes their Javascript buttons and features to be contained in a much larger frame than is necessary, and is causing your button to be shoved off the side of the page. We're hoping they fix that problem soon, and it does look like it's being actively investigated by looking at that report.

The custom image Login Button should not have that issue. On your page, I'm not seeing the custom image button, just the Javascript button. If you're having the problem with the custom image button, let me know where we can see that and we'll gladly help diagnose it.

Thanks,
Alex

hi Alex,

how do I enable the custom image login button? In SCLogin module I have set Login Button Type to "Image link" and Link Image property is set to http://my-domain/images/facebook-login.png . Is this enough to enable the custom image? I don't need the SCLogin module itself and that's why I keep it unpulished but the settings should be considered when your engine renders the code behind {JFBCLogin} variable, right?

No, if you're not using the SCLogin module, the parameters won't work either. Those parameters are only for the instance of the SCLogin module that's shown on the page, not any uses of the {JFBCLogin} tag.

I was mis-understanding above and just figured you were using the SCLogin module. If you're using the {JFBCLogin} tag, you should use the custom login HTML, like:
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="jfbc.login.login_custom();"><img src="/linktoimage.jpg" /></a>
For more information on using a custom image or other type of button, see our Support questions for Joomla Facebook thread.

Hope that helps,
Alex
