I'm not sure what you mean by this. On the SCLogin form in the right sidebar there is a Register button. When clicked, it brings me properly to the CB registration form. Can you explain a little more what isn't working and/or provide a link so we can see what you're talking about?1. On JFBConnect login form, there is no link to register new user outside facebook
This is up to you. It's definitely meant to help prevent spam. We get over 500 attempts for 'fake' accounts on this site every day. If we didn't use account activation and other tools, there would be a lot of unnecessary accounts and, likely, a lot more bogus/spam forum posts with links to random places. That would make for more work for us to clear up and a worse experience for our uses... so we aggressively try to filter out bad accounts before they can be created.1) Should I verify users emails? Most forums do this and as a user I find it a bit annoying. I don't really care if user don't provide any email. Is this just an effective spam prevention measure?
Again, this is your choice. You can turn off automatic registration so the user can edit their username, yes. You could also make it more clear the user can change their username or, if you have a method for creating a 'random' username, we could gladly help you with that. The name may end up being "zk3@#jsk".. If that works for you, it's easy to do, but not as friendly for your users.2) If user creats a forum account, usually only unique username is displayed on forum and real name is kept private. Now, if user login using FaceBook, and username is set to "firlas" Nina Ivanov automatically became niniva, if I change to "first.last" she is nina.ivanov revealing her real name. This may not be her choice; she can change this using her CB profile page but this is not obvious for a new user. Shall I set automatic registration to NO?
a) Those buttons are in case the user has already registered with Twitter, lets say.. Now, they are logging in with Facebook. Those social buttons and the Joomla login form let the user login to an existing account so that they can add the new social network to it. The purpose is to help users not accidentally create multiple accounts on your site for each social network they are logging in with.3) If I actually do set automatic registration to NO and Registration Component to JBFConnect as you suggested, Facebook user is presented with confusing page with a lot of info, in particular:
a) buttons to connect with social network - why, she is already doing this...
b) password - I guess we don't need this??? This happens even if I set "generate random password in automated registration" to YES
c) additional information such as street address etc. I have no intention to ask this; this didn't happened in CB login, how do I remove all that questions?
