I explain my question :
When the user goes to apps.facebook.com/myApp I must ask him to authorize the app to access his infos and then auto-register the user in Joomla.
Can you please tell if it's possible to achieve this with JFBConnect ?

Thanks

Hi,
I'm still waiting for support ! I don't know why it's so slow? holiday?
I have resolved some issues, the only remaining thing is that when the user does not accept to give authorization to the apps, the login process is canceled and he could continue to navigate in the website.
How can I disable website navigation until user accepts the needed authorizations?
Thanks

Sorry for the delayed response.

I believe what your looking for when you want to force the user to authenticate when they visit your Application is called "Authenticated Referrals". Unfortunately, that feature has been removed from Facebook so that there's not a built-in way to automatically require users to approve your app before getting access.

The best suggestion I have now is to make your site setup to be completely for "Registered Only" users by setting your menu items, articles, and content that way. Then, have a good landing page with a big "Login with Facebook" button, or whatever, that explains the user needs to register to go any further.

With the above, if the user denies the application, they won't be able to get anywhere because Joomla will not see them as a registered user.

Hope that makes sense, but if you have any other questions, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex
