Thanks for your time, especially as it's a Sunday. I just PM'd the access info for my site.

I have no idea what optimization stuff is operational so I won't know how to disable it. Thanks again.

Any news on this? It's in the critical path for me.

If you go to
ostlive.com/goodtalktnt/
Which is my development site you'll see that while the login is clearly displayed, when you click on it, there is no email and password field, and the facebook and google icons don't do anything. In addition the whole page appears to fade to a background shade. See screencast.com/t/X4L7mAdJu


1. No email and password - in your SCLogin > Login View Settings tab, you had toggled the "Show Login Form" option to Hide. I switched this back to "Show".

2. The background shade: I just looked at this page again and I think the problem is a conflict with your CSS styling on the page and the CSS styles of our modal popup, specifically the z-index. In my web developer tools in the browser, I changed the z-index of the ".sourcecoast.modal-backdrop" element to 10. That changed it so that the modal can be interacted with. Then when I clicked the FB button, it popped up the appropriate FB login window.
.sourcecoast.modal-backdrop {
z-index: 10!important;
}

Thanks for your help Alex. Will ask where to place your code so I can test. Will let you know the results.

You can place that CSS in your template files. Many templates have a custom.css file or something similar for your own overrides like we provided above.

I hope that helps,
Alex

Done. It works.

Last question on this I hope. Right now I have a "Log out" button replacing the login. How can I get a "My Account" button that links to the Jomsocial profile and keep the existing logout button?

Thanks for your help.

The SCLogin module has an option to show a Joomla menu. You'll need to setup a menu and configure SCLogin to show it.

I hope that helps!

Is there documentation on how to do this that you can direct me to?

It's just three settings in the SCLogin module, so we don't have documentation written for it currently.

1. Create a menu/menu item to the JomSocial profile in Joomla using the standard menu system.

2. Go to SCLogin module > Logout View Settings tab
* Set the 'Show User Menu' setting - select the menu created with step 1 here.
* User Menu Style and User Menu Title are for different display styles of the menu.

Clear and concise. Worked. Last item: The login button is displaying before the menu item. See
screencast.com/t/QU125M2cJ

Is there a setting I missed to control the order of display? I'd like to have the menu item display first, and logout buttons second.

Update after i first posted above:
Just tried using the profile pic setting which corrects the order of display:
screencast.com/t/v7j9XAbwUDg
but the pic doesn't link to the profile page even though I've set it to do so. See:
screencast.com/t/quvP8Y2ThNf1

Thanks.
