First let me explain what I wish to accomplish.

On the home page of my site I wish to have your SCLogin appear for normal logins and Facebook Connect logins/registrations.
Once the user login I want SCLogin to not show anymore but be replaced with the Jomsocial Hello Me module.

Right now both of them are appearing to the public on the home page. I tried toying with permissions and setting up a guest group and all that. But I can't fig out the correct combination. Can someone help me please? I know I'm probably overlooking something or changed something I shouldn't have touched.

I'd start with just one at a time and get that working in both guest and registered mode how you want. That way, you're not changing too many settings at once.

For the HelloMe module, you should just set it's Access Level to "Registered". That should work, if you have Joomla's default ACL settings. If you've changed those too much, I don't know what setting would be appropriate for you.

For the SCLogin module, you'd want to create the Guest access level. If you're unsure how to do that, this article will explain how . I know you mentioned you already did that, but it's the right course of action, so I'm not sure what else to recommend.

I hope that helps explain a little, but if you have more questions, just let me know.

Thanks,
Alex

I think I discovered a bug of some sort in Joomla. When I first created a group it always placed it under public. With no option to make it a parent group. I've been sitting here for hours trying to fig out how to do so. Then I got the option to make a copy of the public group. It then made copy and made it a parent group.
Now that I'm trying to delete it, it won't allow me to. This is just odd. And even more confusing trying to explain to someone who isn't seeing it.

But here's a screen shot of whats going on:

awesomescreenshot.com/082128ygd3

I'm doing a fresh install to view what the default settings are and TRY to put everything back. But with it not allowing me to delete groups I'm not sure what to do at this point :(

Btw, I tried making Hello Me only for registered. And made SCL only for guests. SCL works the way it supposed to. It appears when not logged in. And goes away once logged in. But Hello Me doesn't show for registered users. Not unless I give it Public permission. Which in turn makes it show up even for Guest users. Which means I have TWO login boxes.

Arthur,
Definitely something strange is going on. It sounds like Joomla's database tables may just be corrupted in some way, and that's not something that's easy to deal with.

While I've never used it, you may want to look into ACL Manager . It is a commercial extension, but one of the things it can do is fix bad data in the underlying tables of Joomla. It's main purpose is to simplify the creation of ACL rules in general and make things much easier.

Again, I've never used it, but I've heard great things and other users with similar (though not the same) type of issues have mentioned that that extension has fixed it for them. Depending on how developed your site is, or whether you can start over/spend time to debug everything, the investment in that extension may be worth it.

Hope that helps, but definitely keep us posted on what you find. Curious to hear a solution. Of course, if there's anything else you think we can do, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex
