Hi,
I have a service where I register the users by uploading a csv-file containing the user data. Is it possible for the users to connect to their social network account after the registration? Or is there an easier way to connect to their social account, such as Google or microsoft?

JFBConnect lets the connect to your site with their social network account in multiple ways, and it's very configurable in the JFBConnect settings to allow/prevent some methods.

If the user doesn't have an account, they can use the social login buttons (Google/Microsoft or others) to have a Joomla account automatically created for them. From then on, they can login with that social account. You can also configure JFBConnect to send them their Joomla username and password that was created so they can login with standard Joomla credentials instead of their social account.

If they already have a Joomla account (whether they created it or you, the admin, did), JFBConnect allows the user to 'connect' their existing account to any social network. To do that, they click the social login button (you should see these on this site by hovering over the My Account menu item in the top right when you are logged in). They'll have to approve your site to link their account. Once they do, they'll be able to login to your site in the future with their social network or Joomla credentials.

There's no way for you, the admin, to link an account to another user's social network account. The user needs to do that as they have to authenticate on that social network and give permission to your app, which only they can do.

I hope that helps explain things, but if you need anything else, please let me know!

Thanks,
Alex

Hi,
I managed to integrate with my Facebookaccount but I have trouble integrating with Google. I connect my account on the site with my google account and I get no error message. When I try to login using the Google social login nothing happens, see attached video.

Any ideas how to solve it?

I just tried to authenticate on your site with Google and I see the same issue. I'm unsure what's causing it from what I see, but here are the steps I'd recommend:
* Disable SEF URLs (temporarily to test)
* Disable caching on your site (in the Global Configuration area or any 3rd party extension)
* In the JFBConnect configuration area, set "Enable Debug Mode" to 'Yes'

Then, try to login again. Hopefully, it will work. If not though, a better error message may appear explaining why the Google authentication failed.

I hope that helps, but either way, please let us know what happens.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi again,
I followed the steps above but it still doesn't work. I got an error message that said something like: You don't have authority to access this page. I couldn't replicate this error message. Where do I find the error log?
