mijocart or opencart

Jeremy,
That's likely not something we'd do or would even be in our court. That type of tight integration should be provided by Mijocart itself. JFBConnect creates 100% standard Joomla users and uses the Joomla plugin system to notify other extensions when a user has been registered or logged into the site. Mijocart should be recognizing when JFBConnect has logged a user into Joomla and then 'bridge' them over to the opencart or whatever else it needs to do.

It's impossible for us to integrate with every extension directly, and bridges are much more complex beasts to work with on top of that. We adhere to all Joomla guidelines for compatibility, and rely on other extensions to do the same where possible to make integration as simple as possible.

Hope that helps explain, but if you have any specifics of where things are going wrong (possibly from Mijsoft support), we'll gladly investigate further to see if we can improve our compatibility.

Thanks,
Alex

The Joomla/SCLogin module use Joomla's login flow. I'm sure Mijosoft has tested extensively with that. The main concerns is if they are not able to use the 'session' information that Joomla stores about the currently logged in user. That information is set by the JFBConnect - User plugin, and should be what they are looking at to bridge into Mijocart.

Depending on how they have to authenticate the user into Mijocart, it may actually not be possible to work with JFBConnect. When a user logs in through Facebook, we don't have a username and password. So, if Mijocart is looking to verify the user's Joomla username/password, it won't be there. All we say is "User xyz is logged in", then, they'd responsible for trusting that our authentication was correct and force that user to be logged into Mijocart as well.

Hope that makes sense. If not, it should definitely make sense to Mijosoft developers.

No problem. Hope it helps. We'd love to hear how it goes for you with your integration!

Thanks,
Alex

Jeremy,
Glad you're making progress. For the authentication, that's something I hope that Mijosoft can help with. Definitely let us know how that goes.

I'm not sure what you mean about the redirection issue. Are you saying that the page the user goes to isn't what you expect, or simply that the "Profile successfully connected" message isn't being displayed and you expect it.

Finally, as for the mapping, that's up in the air for anyone that wants to do it We have a few profile plugins on our radar that we want to release over the next few months, but Mijoshop integration isn't on the short-list for now. We're also in the planning stages of revamping the profile plugins to make them simpler to create. Once that's done, we're hoping more extension developers will be interested in creating their own profile plugins for easier integration.

Hope that helps,
Alex

Jeremy,
The message we show is a simple Joomla status message. When we make the connection, we notify Joomla of a message that should be displayed on the next page load. If that message isn't being shown it's an indication that something funky or abnormal is happening behind the scenes, like a non-standard redirect. I'm not sure what would be causing it.

If that's the only issue (the user connection is working properly, etc and *only* the message isn't showing), then it should be something that Mijosoft should be notified of. Tell them that JFBConnect is using $app->enqueueMessage() and that message isn't displaying and see if they know what might be happening to cause that. It may be something very trivial to fix once they know what to look for.

Hope that helps,
Alex
