Glad to hear you're a happy customer. Always a pleasure to meet your type :)

For enabling other social network logins, you need to create the appropriate applications for each network. We have instructions for each below:
www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/docs/soci...etwork-applications/

Once you set up those apps and add the API/Secret keys to JFBConnect, the login buttons should just appear.

That's a quick answer. You also mentioned:

Hi Alex, as I told I enabled some Social Login Buttons there, the Twitter I think it is not working very well, because even If I allow access it redirect back to the Forum, but to register screen asking for extra information. I tried the same process in your site, and This did not happen. So I guess I did something wrong, can you give me instructions to make to precess simpler to Twitter also?

Take a look at screens:

The registration screen for Twitter is normal. Twitter does not allow the retrieval of the user's email address, so we need to send them through a registration form to at least provide that. You can disable some of the additional fields on that page in the JFBConnect -> Configuration area so that all that shows is email. Password, Username and Name can all be imported from Twitter. You can even hide the "Login" side of the form so all that shows is the registration.

Additionally, we have language strings for the Registration side, so you can make it into something that just says "Great! Just one more step, please provide your email address". Then, when the user does, their account will be created.

I hope that explains more, but if you need more assistance, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

Ok Alex, thaks for your clear reply, and what aout the USERNAME?
Please, correct me If I am wrong, because the username cames with strange value, and I think the user will need to remember it to use later to login into the site, right?
How do deal with that?

With Best Regards

Ok Alex, thaks for your clear reply, and what aout the USERNAME?

In JFBConnect, you can configure how the username is automatically generated. There are a few different options you can choose from that hopefully work for you.

You can choose to show the username on the registration page so that the user can change it if they don't like it.

Please, correct me If I am wrong, because the username cames with strange value, and I think the user will need to remember it to use later to login into the site, right?

No. The benefit of social authentication is that the user can click the Twitter button when they return and be logged back in automatically. They can use the Joomla credentials to login if they want to, but that's not necessary. Many sites automatically register users and have a username chosen automatically and the user may never know what their username actually is since they don't need it.

I hope that helps explain,
Alex
