Can you please clarify I have this correct for JFBConnect. We need to have both social registration and normal.

1. I have installed the component and the sc_login plugin.
2. Enabled the module sc_login this presents the login option
3. For registration I have selected custom = menu item that redirects to a traditional joomla page.

So I'm a bit confused how will allow users to decide between social network registration and normal registration ?
With the normal registration process I would like to capture a couple of extra fields of data I can see how to do this with the menu link to another login module
However what information do I retrieve with social media registration. Can I create extra fields ?
With mini registration how do I trigger social vs normal I cannot see how to connect sc_login to jfb.
Thanks
Paul

Would this be a workable solution to extra fields issue. I noticed that Automatically Link Users By Email.
Therefore could we use another login component to capture the extra data on registration.
Then use SC_Login to login and enable this functionality and therefore we link the info ?
has anyone else tried this ?

JFBConnect doesn't store a user's profile data itself. We do work with multiple 3rd party extensions, like JomSocial, EasySocial, Community Builder, Kunena and even the Joomla User - Profile plugin to store a user's profile data into those extensions. To set that up, enable the Social Profile plugin for the extension you want to import data into and then configure how the data should import in the "Profiles" admin area of JFBConnect.

As for the registration options, it's up to you how to display them. Once the user clicks a social login button (Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc), they are choosing to login with the social network. The profile data can be auto-imported or you can send them through the 'mini-registration' where they can see the data and add new information for their profile. Otherwise, they can choose to register the normal 'joomla' way and create their username, email, password, etc.

I hope that helps explain, but if you have any questions, just let me know.

Thanks,
Alex
