I couldn't get the manual registration to work. However, we would prefer to have the automatic registration process. The only process that worked was the Easysocial build-in Facebook login which we didn't like either because we would have to give up using JFBConnect. We would rather use JFBConnect with the automatic registration process. Is there a way to store the alias in the social_users table?

We can definitely look into storing the alias in the user table. I don't think that's a large bit of work since we already have the ability to generate unique usernames. The biggest quest/issue I think that may crop up is the format of the alias you'd want to use. If it's the same as the user's username, then it's pretty straightforward. If you're looking for a new/different way to have the alias automatically generated, that would be more difficult.

Let me know any details about how you'd want the alias to be set and we can gladly look into it further.

Thanks,
Alex

Forgo to update you guys. Everything works fine when I use the "firlas" format, it's just the other formats that don't work because of the "period" inside the link. I would prefer to use the "first.last" format without the "period" but i'm also fine with the "firlas" format.

Glad you found something that works. For the period in the URL, that shouldn't break things in general. I'm not sure what causing it to not work.. it could be your server, apache, Joomla, an SEF extension, security software or EasySocial itself that can't digest the period in the URL. I'm not sure which and not laying blame on any, but letting you know that a period is a valid character in a URL.

If you really wanted, we could point out how to generate usernames differently, but it's something you'd need to apply on every update of JFBConnect, which could get tedious.

Thanks,
Alex
