Need a little help with configuration
Most users don't need to create custom objects. Simply enabling the plugins and letting JFBConnect guess the defaults works well enough. If you want to create your own objects, set the type to "article" and click the "Built-In Facebook Object" box. That's the best default you can use until you play moreThank you. I am working on this now. I have configured a new open graph object but still show's the same. need to give myself time to read through this documentation better. I am a bit confused for what is suposed to be in the "Object type" field. but I'm sure i'll find it in the documentation.
Just an update on this... You may be able to do what you're looking for. We can't tell if you're looking for text links in the drop-down or just moving the connect icons to drop down itself. If you're looking for the icons in the drop-down menu, just like our drop-down menu on this site, you can! To do so, there's a few steps to take. Go to the Joomla Menu Manager and:4. Is it possible for me somehow to not have the button from point 3 / screenshot , down there but instead have it in the user dropdown menu? current/smile
Meaning that when You go to the dropdown menu under your name when logged in it has a link say'n "Connect this account to facebook" "Connect this account to twitter" etc..
Unfortunately, languages in Joomla have some information stored in the database. You'd need to install, or create, a language pack for Icelandic first which should create the proper database entries. I've honestly been trying to create a language pack as a test to hand to you, but it's a lot more difficult than I expected it would be. I'll keep trying to create one and hopefully can give you a zip that just works.Regarding the languages.. I have created a new path in both admin and root language files . renamed the langueage .ini files to what I was told to do my Mel. but I have no idea where to change what language files the extension uses..
note that there is no language file for joomla for my language.. so these are the only language files I have in my language.
Make sure you update <YOUR_PREFIX> with the database prefix for your site. Once that's done you *should* be able to just copy any language files to the language/is_IS and edit there.. hopefullyINSERT INTO `<YOUR_PREFIX>_extensions` (`extension_id`, `name`, `type`, `element`, `folder`, `client_id`, `enabled`, `access`, `protected`, `manifest_cache`, `params`, `custom_data`, `system_data`, `checked_out`, `checked_out_time`, `ordering`, `state`)
VALUES
(NULL, 'Icelandic', 'language', 'is-IS', '', 0, 1, 1, 1, '{\"name\":\"Icelandic\",\"type\":\"language\",\"creationDate\":\"\",\"author\":\"\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"authorEmail\":\"\",\"authorUrl\":\"\",\"version\":\"3.3.\",\"description\":\"is-is site language\",\"group\":\"\"}', '', '', '', 0, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 0, 0);
Try adding the following CSS to your template:I managed to put the icons in the drop down menu. brilliant. but there is one problem though.. they show up not next to each other. (see screenshot)
.sclogin li.connect .social-login.reconnect {
clear: none;
}This would all need to be done through some custom CSS. For more information on how to create your own theme for the SCLogin file, see:on top of that. is there a way for me to change the "Welcome *username*" text colour somehow in the module and maybe the look of the drop down box? current/smile
There isn't. The buttons are loaded from Facebook directly and while they should be fast, it can go slower based on various factors (extensions installed in your browser, nearest Facebook server, etc).*EDIT* - I would also like to ask if it is possible for me to boost the time the fb like/share buttons apear? They take quite some time to load while the twitter buttons loads instantly (almost)
In the "Object Type" you should definitely have "article". Right now, it's just blank. Update that and let me know what issues you may be running into (error messages, etc) and we'll gladly help however we can.About the share problem.. no luck.. see screenshot of settings. I have tried typing "Article" in "Object Type" but nothing.
i'm going to have to get some reading done I guess! unless you spot some simple fault i'm doing by the screenshots.. current/smile
I'd like it to be like 1-2 px appart if you do! but I think it will work nicely like this. at least for now. hopefully one day I can manage to make the dropdown menu more "hip" and noticable 
You can try something like the followingregarding the fb/twitter icon in dropdown menu - the code you entered worked quite nicely. The icons are now in the same row. except that they are quite far apart from each other. (see screenshot) - I can live with it this way but if you know of a quickfix to that I'm all ears! current/smile I'd like it to be like 1-2 px appart if you do! current/smile
.sclogin li.connect .social-login.reconnect{
margin:1px !important;
}If you have something specific that's bugging you, let me know and I can see if I can give you a quick fix. For instance, I noticed your social buttons on the modal popup are spaced apart a lot and can be fixed with the followingbut changing anything else was more then my extremely limited css skills could handle
.sclogin .pull-left img{
margin-right:0px;
margin-bottom:0px;
}It would be easiest for you to give me an exact URL of one of the pages you're having problems on, so that I can check the og tags on that page and try using the Facebook Open Graph Debugger. When I randomly go to some pages, the Open Graph tags look correct, and on other pages some don't. Give me a specific URL and then we can go from thereI altered the "Object type" to "article" but I still only get the default page description when I try to share a article or any advert on my site
