JFBConnect integration with EasyBlog

Davis,
There's a few easy ways to do what you're looking for. In general though, please note that the SCLogin module is just that.. a Joomla module. There's no specific page you can redirect the user to that is just for the SCLogin module. You can place the module on any page you want to though.

However I installed Easy Blog at a more recent point in time. Now when going to the 'write blog' section, I notice it is pointing to the native Joomla module/component for the registration/logins.
I need this to point to the SCLogin (along with fb/google options) so that the login / registration process is consistent across the board.
Or maybe just add the Login using fb/g+ buttons to the side/bottom. (As long as this will do the same purpose as the SC Login & will not mess up the Joomla users) [/code]
If EasyBlog is pointing to the standard Joomla registration and login pages, the most easy way to add the social login buttons in in the JFBConnect -> Configuration area. There's a setting for "Integrate with Joomla Login". Simply set that to Top or Bottom for where you want the social buttons to show on the standard Joomla page and you're set.

If, by chance, you have another extension that's taking over the registration/login process (like EasySocial, CB, JomSocial or multiple others) you may need to make a modification like noted above for EasySocial (though that's actually not required any more, since they have built in integration for JFBConnect). If you are using another registration flow, let us know what extension it is, and we'll help however we can.

Thanks,
Alex

Davis,
Thanks for your email and patience. On your site, the page that the user is redirected to when clicking the "Write a Blog" is EasyBlog's own login page. That's not the standard Joomla login page. That's fine, but it means that our auto-login buttons won't display there. They're only intended for the default Joomla login page, which you can see at /log-in/ on your site.

To add the social login buttons to the EasyBlog login page, you'd need to make an edit to their login template files. To do so, you should:
* Setup your template so that you can create template overrides for EasyBlog. More information here
* Create a PHP override by copying /components/com_easyblog/themes/default/guest.login.php to /templates/<YOUR_TEMPLATE>/html/com_easyblog/
* Edit that new file and add the following tag wherever you want the social network buttons to display:
I hope that helps get you going, but if not, or you run into any other issues, just let me know.

Thanks,
Alex

Sorry for the delayed response.

Pardon my ignorance, but would like to ask..
It's not really clear to me why I would need to override to make an edit.. I thought I could add the {JFBConnect} to the default easy blog login page to which the write a blog points to, appreciate if you elaborate on that.
Secondy, just fyi -When I posed the question to the easy blog developer yesterday, his reply was

No problem asking, that's what we're here for.

When you say "add the {JFBCLogin} to the default easy blog login page", that is a template override. You can edit the file in place, where it exists, in the /components/com_easyblog/... folder. Creating a template override, where you copy the file to your templates/<YOUR_TEMPLATE>/html/com_easyblog/... folder is the recommended way to edit that file. By copying the file to your templates folder, when you upgrade EasyBlog, your edit won't be overwritten. If you leave that file in the /components/com_easyblog directory, it will be overwritten when you upgrade.

Don't get worried about the terminology. The important thing is that you are editing the login page file to add the {JFBCLogin} tag.

As for Joomla 3.x, the steps are the same. LESS files are for CSS (the styling output). The steps outlined in that document, and above, for copying the file to the /templates/<YOUR_TEMPLATE>/html/com_easyblog folder are for overriding the PHP layouts that are used to create the actual page. CSS simply applies styles to the element that are placed on the page. The elements are placed in the PHP layout files.

I hope that helps explain, but if not, or you need more assistance, definitely let me know!

Thanks,
Alex

That sounds almost correct to me. In your templates folder, you just put in in the /html/com_easyblog directory, not com_easyblog/themes/default/ (at least, that's how it normally is and what their documentation indicates as well).

Of course, if you run into issues, let me know, and we'll gladly help however we can.

Thanks,
Alex
