New User Registration with JFBConnect was created by fb_1125577627

Hi

I've tried searching on the forum and found the information to be confusing.

What I want to find out is this.

1. I have tons of spammers on my site who somehow abuse some bug in the user registration module and they seem to be able to register users even though I have CAPTCHA.
2. So I have disabled the user registration portion.

What I would like to know is that, is there anyway to make JFBConnect and/or JLinkedIN to be the ONLY way to register on the site?

I am hoping this way would allow me to have less spammers and still have new users join in.

Cheers

Adrian,
There's a few things that can help with what you're looking to do. I'd highly recommend looking at the following post: using social network registration only, and disabling Joomla registration . I just responded to that one with almost the same question you had. It should work for you to disable Joomla registrations, but if not, let us know in that thread.

One final note that I'd recommend investigating, if you want to keep Joomla registrations enabled, is using a Spam Protection plugin. There are a lot in the JED, listed below:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-...rity/spam-protection

We actually use SpamBotCheck on this site, and it works very well. Not every spammer is denied, but we have about 5000 attempted registrations per day, and only a few ever get through.

I hope that helps,
Alex
