Facebook login - Page NOT Refreshing

It looks like you have some heavy caching enabled on your site, which is caching responses to requests and using those incorrectly. There's a few different redirects I'm seeing during the login process and general navigation of the site that don't look correct.

What I'd recommend doing is:
* Disable caching the Global Configuration area of Joomla.
* Disable the caching being performed by your template
* Disable the System - Cache plugin

Test with all of those disabled and see if things work normally. Then, re-enable those features one-by-one starting from the top and test after each one. See when things start to break again.

I hope that helps you narrow things down, but if you have any questions or run into any issues, just let me know.

Thanks,

I honestly don't know anything about JotCache. The page you linked to is not something I directly understand without ever having seen the component. Since JFBConnect isn't the page being landed on (it's a JomSocial page), I'm not sure if excluding JFBConnect would be the right course or excluding JomSocial. It may be something you need to ask their developers for assistance with, because I really don't know what they are doing that's preventing the loading of the page properly.

I do know that if you are using the Browser Caching feature of the standard System - Cache plugin, a similar issue can happen. If JotCache is using browser caching, that may be the problem as browser caching tells the browser to load whatever is in it's cache when you go to a URL. So, if you are on the JomSocial home page, you log in and are immediately returned to the JomSocial home page, the browser would load the original (non-logged in) copy. Refreshing would tell the browser to go fetch an update.

There's not much we can do about that, if that's the problem.

I hope that helps,

I'm not really sure what we can do to fix it though. JotCache is performing the caching, and would be where the fix needs to be made. From the link you posted above, there is a way to exclude extensions. I'd recommend excluding com_jfbconnect from any caching in JotCache to see if that helps. If it doesn't though, I'm not sure what's going wrong as I'm not sure what kind of caching they're doing. It would have be something you get some feedback from their developers on to determine why the login function within Joomla that we're calling isn't properly re-rendering the page.

I hope that explains. There's not a switch in JFBConnect to set component-wide caching, and we have no specific integration with JotCache. I do know that other user's are successfully using JotCache on their site. We've never (or at least I can't think of any reports in the last 6+ months) heard issues with JotCache and so I don't have a clear answer as to what may be different with your configuration.

If you do get a solution from the JotCache developers or the exclusion of jfbconnect works in their configuration, let us know. We'd love to have that information if anyone else runs into a similar issue.

Thanks,

I'm sure there is a solution, but we don't have a specific list of what extensions user's have on their sites. Doing a search of our forums, I found a few posts below where user's mentioned their sites were using JotCache, and the first (though it's a year old) actually mentions how they got his site to work with lots of different extensions:

I hope that helps,
