Hello,
I would like to be able to give a different access level to the users joining my website through the social media, then registering through joomla.
Is this possible, and how?
For example I want to use an author level the ones registered from joomla, and just registered the ones through the JFBConnect.

thank you
costas

Costas,
We're looking to add an option for letting you set a default user type per social network in a future release. In the meantime though, it will take a minor code change to do what you're looking for. To do so, edit the /components/com_jfbconnect/models/loginregister.php file. Around line 281, you'll see:
// Default to Registered.
        $defaultUserGroup = $config->get('new_usertype', 2);
Update that bottom line to:
$defaultUserGroup = 2;
Where the number is the id of the User Group for 'Registered Users', which is likely 2.

That will work for automatic registrations. If you have automatic registrations disabled, you'll need to make a different change, which we can help with. Just let me know if that's the case, and we'll get you going.

I hope that helps,
Alex

Joomla 1.5 would need a similar change, but it's likely in a different file. I'd need to investigate that one more as the code isn't right in front of me right now.

Would you be needing that change for automatic registration as well?

Thanks,
Alex

The change would be in the same /components/com_jfbconnect/models/loginregister.php file. Around line 80, you'll see the following lines:
$instance->set('gid', $acl->get_group_id('', $usertype));
            $instance->set('usertype', $usertype);
Update that to:
$instance->set('gid', 2); // Where 2 is the group ID
             $instance->set('usertype', 'Registered');

I hope that helps, but if you need anything else, just let me know!

Thanks,
Alex
