Good Afternoon!!

Hopefully I can explain what I'm trying to accomplish with a little show & tell.
My login currently looks like this:


However after install JFBConnect and the SCLogin and then inserting the following text into the intro Text box:
<div class="logintext"><h2>Get started today!</h2>
<span>Search for, rate & review, recommend and meet-up at your favorite Indy restaurant, watering hole or find the current location and offerings of your favorite food truck. It's Fast and  FREE! </span>
</div>

It displays like this:


Even after upgrading to the beta version of the module!!

There MUST be something I can do to replicate the styling that I'm trying to achieve that I'm overlooking!

Please assist.

It looks to me as if something happened to your css claas "logintext"

Thanks Pieter,
But I think that's a given assumption.

Can you post (or private message) a link to a page with the issue? If the background image is going away (which is what it looks like), that means there's likely a missing closing tag to a div or span somewhere, making the HTML all screwed up.

I'd honestly try changing your intro text to have *no* HTML (or even no text at all) and see if that makes things work.. then try adding it back slowly to see where something goes wrong. With a page link, we'll hopefully be able to give better advice though.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex.
The site is located at dineout-indy.com
It currently has the original login module on and the SCLogin turned off.
But I'll pm you the login details so you can change them to see the issue.

Thanks in advance!!

Brian,
I just got into the admin area of your site, but I couldn't figure out your module positions. From what I could tell, the current login module was in the position 'right2'. However, when I disabled the 2 Login modules you have set for that position, the login form never went away.

The SCLogin module was also set to show in 'no' template positions, which didn't help me narrow things down.

Can you configure the SCLogin module to show in the correct position and menu item, but then simply unpublish it. Then, let me know exactly what module I should be disabling. That way, I can just unpublish it and publish the SCLogin module as is to investigate further.

Finally, the other option is to simply add the Login with Facebook button to the standard Joomla login module. You can create a template override for the layout and then simply add the following code:
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="jfbc.login.login_custom();"><img src="/linktoimage.jpg" /></a>

That actually gives you more flexibility to design things how you want. The SCLogin is a great starting point for a lot of sites, but if you know what you're doing, adding the button yourself may be better for your needs.

Hope that helps,
Alex

I apologize sincerely.
I just restored my site to a prior version because I was having a few issues and it's likley that what you see right now is not what you should be seeing.

I'm going to spend the next couple of hours getting it re-setup and I'll pm you when I'm done.
Thanks for your patience.

Thanks for the message. I just looked at your site and was able to switch between the mod_login and mod_sclogin modules to see the differences. You have a template override of the mod_login module already, which has many of the customizations you're looking for. I'd really just recommend editing the /templates/motif/html/mod_login/default.php file and adding the "Login with Facebook" button there.

You can add it the following ways:
* Add the {JFBCLogin} tag where you want the standard login button to show
* Add the following HTML with your own custom image:
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="jfbc.login.login_custom();"><img src="/linktoimage.jpg" /></a>
I think that's the best option instead of getting the SCLogin module to look how you want since you're already almost there.

If you need more information on how to do the above, let me know, but I think it's really the best option and most flexible way to do what you're looking for with the customizations you've already made on your site.

I hope that helps,
Alex

EXCELLENT advice!!!
Truly one of my more classic "I could've had a V8 moments".
Why re-invent the wheel!??

Well, now that I think about it...
I WILL be missing a few pretty cool features that are in the SCLogin module but ya gotta give a little to get...

Any idea why clicking on the facebook login redirects me to a nonexistent page?
eg., dineout-indy.com/?Itemid=633
