Hey! First of all, this is one of the better products out there I've used in the past. I just renewed my subscription to get the latest build for my newest website oblivion.immortalunbound.com

So, the first issue I had was that weird toolbar opening for Super Users, which I found other posts on and was able to edit toolbar.php in order to eliminate that.

However, an issue I noticed (and I don't think it was from editing toolbar.php) is that when I first installed and configured everything, my Joomla Login and Registration pages DID have the "Login with Facebook" and "Register with Facebook" buttons. However, now they do not have them anywhere. What can I do to get them to show back up on the built-in modules?

Also, something that is proving to be a lot more difficult than I had hoped, was to create a Menu Item as the Login with Facebook button. I tried it in a few places and because of the Facebook button taking up so much extra space, it completely distorts my menu bar.

If you're using the standard Joomla login and registration pages and want to add the social login buttons, you'll want to enable the "Integrate into Joomla Login" setting in the JFBConnect -> Configuration area.

If that setting is already enabled then something funky is happening.. either a different login/register view or your template (or something else) is preventing our alterations. The toolbar edit should not be the problem.

Also, something that is proving to be a lot more difficult than I had hoped, was to create a Menu Item as the Login with Facebook button. I tried it in a few places and because of the Facebook button taking up so much extra space, it completely distorts my menu bar.

We don't have a way to create a menu item to login to the social networks now. I just added it to our to-do list though, as it sounds like a good idea.

With that said, it sounds like you already made some progress on doing this. Can you let me know what you've done, and we can help you tweak it a little bit. In general, to create a login button, you just need to have a link that calls the javascript: jfbc.login.provider('facebook'); Obviously, that's easier said that done sometimes, but telling the goal may help.

Thanks,
Alex

Oh yeah.. and welcome back! Glad to have you back as a JFBConnect user. I'm not sure what version you were on last, but things have been changing a lot (for the better) over the last year.. with lots of plans for great new features this year as well.

Thanks for the info regarding the config. Somehow it was disabled so I changed it back to "Top" and now everything looks good again for my Joomla Integrated login page. Thanks!

As far as the menu link goes, I was trying to be clever to work around it. I tried making the {JFBCLogin} code as the Link Title, which worked, but just caused it to distort (probably because of the extra unnecessary space). I also have another extension called Sourcerer which lets you wrap pure html code inside {source} tags and Joomla will process the code as you have written it, but that was giving me some issues too. I was going to see if I could inject the custom anchor tag for calling the javascript as a target for just text of a menu item and possibly include a background image for the link as well (haven't gotten around to that).

I originally had version 4.0 for Joomla 2.5. The new one does seem a lot different, still getting used to everything, but so far so good.
