Registration Redirect Issues with EasySocial

For JFBConnect, the options are in two different places for our redirection settings
* If you're registering via a social network user, you will find the redirection settings in JFBConnect backend > Configuration > General section for new and returning user redirection using the social network only. These settings will be used whenever you use the social login buttons through JFBConnect and SCLogin, easy-tags, etc.
* If you're using the SCLogin to log in via Joomla credentials, then we have the "Joomla Login Redirection URL" and "Joomla Logout Redirection URL".

EasySocial also has options for Redirection
* The EasySocial System plugin has an option for "Enable com_users Redirection" to register to EasySocial views. If this setting is enabled, the redirection settings in JFBConnect can be ignored.
* In the EasySocial backend > Settings > Users > Authentication section there are "Login Redirection" and "Logout Redirection" settings, as well.

We are in the process of updating documentation on our site and I've added this to the list, as I don't think we have anything right now that explicitly states how the two extensions work together. So it'd probably be more helpful to you if we help you out directly for this right now. We'll need some more information from you such as whether you're using social login vs Joomla login, what pages you want to redirect to on registration and login, etc. and we'll try to work through it with you.

Sorry for the delayed response. Hopefully the above helps explain things a bit further, but let us know if you need more assistance.

1) Use EasySocial LogBox Module for login/registration purposes ONLY.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. I don't know if this relates to JFBConnect. If you want to use their login module, you can add our social login/registration buttons to it if you'd like or you can use our SCLogin module to show the Joomla login area and social login buttons. Let us know if you need more details on either of these options.

2) Bypass Joomla registration -> Use Easysocial

This is not something JFBConnect can control. There is an option to have EasySocial redirect the standard Joomla registration view to EasySocial. JFBConnect doesn't have any control of this. Your settings above look correct, but if that's not working, you'll need to contact the EasySocial developers.

3) Automatic User activation

JFBConnect has an option for "Skip Joomla Activation". If this is enabled, the standard Joomla activation won't occur. If you have that *and* automatic registration enabled in JFBConnect, the user shouldn't have to activate their account. That's how you're settings are configured above. If that's not working, please let us know what you see.

4) Use JFBC Integration to assist Login/Registration operation with existing Social Networks

The settings you have above should let a user use the social login buttons of JFBConnect and have their account created automatically. If an email address can't be obtained for a user, like if they're using Twitter, then they should go through the EasySocial registration flow with some of their profile details pre-filled from their Twitter profile.

I hope that explains how things should work. If you're seeing different behavior, please let us know what you see and how it's not how you want it to work. We'll gladly help explain or fix issues that you may be having.

Thanks,
Alex

Glad to hear you have most things worked out.

For the integration with the login modules of EasySocial, that's completely done within EasySocial. When you enable the "Use JFBConnect" option, EasySocial code is activated to show our login buttons. We don't have any control over that. If you're looking for updates or improvements to how our code displays there, you'd need to contact the StackIdeas team.

I hope that helps explain,
Alex
