Hi,

My site is at kevinjsullivan.com. The login materials are on the front page only. I have two problems. While the Twitter and G+ logins seem reliable, and while clicking on FB login works sometimes, it often flashes a screen that I can't see and leaves me not logged in. If however I'm already logged into FB and I then select my name, e.g., in a forum, then I get FB-logged in automatically. The login-via-FB function doesn't seem to be working well -- at least not for me.

The second problems is that I have user registration turned on through the same login widget. Once the user completes the registration, the redirect functionality doesn't seem to work properly. I've programmed sc_login and JBFConnect to redirect to my home menu item, but I end up at a place that doesn't work: with URL ... component/users/?view=registration&layout=complete.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,
For Facebook, when I try to login, the popup message changes to:

Error
This app is in sandbox mode. Edit the app configuration at developers.facebook.com/apps to make the app publicly visible.

You'll need to go into your [developers.facebook.com/apps]App configuration[/url] and disable the Sandbox mode setting. That should take care of your Facebook issues.

As for the redirection, check a few things:
* Make sure the JFBConnect configuration for New User Redirection and Returning User Redirection are correct.
* Even if they look right, try changing them to a different URL and see if that changes the behavior.
* Check your User and System plugins to see if there are any that 'do' something after a user registers. Some plugins try to hijack the registration path/redirection and we can't do anything about that.

I hope that helps get you started,
Alex
