Hi,

I am using JFBconnect 6.4.1 version. I am trying to integrate twitter into the Joomla website. I have created the app and added the API keys into the admin. Twitter button appears on the site. When I click on the button,it redirects me to twitter and asks for credentials. After providing the credentials it redirects me to my website but doesnot logs me to the website.Instead it fills the name and username field through twitter data on my registration form.Please advice how I can log into website using twitter?

Does twitter login works with SEF Urls?

Twitter does not allow websites to fetch the user's email address. Because of that, the user will have to go through a mini-registration process. You can choose to hide the username and password fields so that all is asked is just the email. We can't register the user without them providing an email address though.

Most other social networks allow fetching the user's email address, so the registration process can be automatic.

I hope that helps explain,
Alex
