Hi there

I have a question about the joomla fb plugin. I already have a few hundreds users registered on my joomla 3.1. If I add this plugin, will the already registered users be able to merge/upgrade their account to fb without losing its current info? they all have already posts on the forum, comments, and a whole bunch of things. I just want to connect them to their fb if they already use the system, but not create a whole new user neither remove their data.

Joaquin,
JFBConnect works great on sites that already have users. There are multiple ways that users can connect their existing accounts to their Facebook account. Once connected, they'll be able to log in with their Facebook credentials or their existing Joomla credentials. The main ways to let users connect are:
* When they login with their FB account the first time, if their FB email address already exists for a Joomla user on your site, their account will automatically be associated.
* You can use the "Normal Registration Mode" setting, which lets users see a registration form during registration. There's also a login form on that page where, if they enter their Joomla credentials, it will log them in and connect their accounts.
* In the SCLogin module, you can enable a setting to to show a "Facebook Login" button when the user is logged in via Joomla but hasn't connected that account to Facebook yet. When they click that button, it will log them into Facebook and automatically connect the accounts.

Hope that makes sense, but if you have any other questions, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

thanks alzander
I just tried what you said but I can't manage it to work. This is my page with the extension installed:
dogfightplay.com/index.php/forum/2-gossip

I did the kunena integratin as described here:
www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/docs/thir...tegration-for-kunena

Now, this is the issue. The first time you go there, you will see the option to login or the option to login with facebook (at the right). This is fine. But my situation is that I want people to be able to merge their current accounts. So I want this:
1) Login into my joomla account using the regular system.
2) Then, now, hit the "login with facebook" so it can look both accounts.

The problem is that ones I do the first step, the login button on the right disappears so there is no way for them to merge with facebook.
