Demo site

I'm honestly not sure. That's not an error we've ever had reported to us on a live site or on our demo site.

Looking into the message, that appears when Joomla is trying to save a new user but now 'name' field is present. That should be fetched by JFBConnect automatically from Facebook and should definitely be populated when we try to save the user. We've had numerous test users created on the demo site today, so I don't think it's a systematic problem.

Can you try registering again and see if you still have the problem? If you do, can you let me know (publicly or by Private Message) the full name of your user on Facebook? All I can think is that there is some character in the name which is causing the user to not be created. We handle UTF-8 strings just fine, so not sure what that would be, but it's my only guess.

Thanks,

I'm not sure what you mean by a business account. Do you mean that you are logged in as a Facebook Page, and not as a personal account? If so, that could definitely be the problem. You can only authenticate with a personal account as a business account doesn't necessarily have an email address, 'name', or other information that's required. That's a Facebook restriction, and not a JFBConnect one though. If you're trying to login while logged in as a Facebook Page, the authentication popup should show an error instead of letting you try to log in.

Let me know if that's what you're trying, what you're seeing (what does the authentication popup look like), and any other information you may have and we can gladly look into it more.

Thanks,

Merc,
How are you logged into Facebook.com at that point? Are you logged in directly as a user, or did you 'switch' to a Facebook Page profile?

Can you try logging out of Facebook.com and then clicking the Login with Facebook button. Can you authenticate and login properly then?

Keep us posted. This is something we've not seen before and can't recreate from some testing. Hopefully, with the information above, we can narrow things down.

Thanks,
Alex

What is a "Business Facebook Account"? I've never heard of one of those. Facebook just has "personal" user accounts and Facebook "Pages", so maybe I'm just confused with the terminology.

Either way, what I'd recommend now is to:
* Login to Facebook.com
* Click the * in the top right and then go to "Account Settings"
* In the left-hand side, click "Apps".
* Find "JFBConnect Demo" and click the 'x' to the right.

That will delete the app from your profile. When you next try to login to the Demo site, you should see a permissions popup box. Please take an image of that popup permissions box. Of course, try to accept the permissions and see if that fixes your issue, though obviously that shouldn't be necessary.

Please let me know how that goes,
Alex

Ahh.. just did some searching and found:
www.facebook.com/help/131976240210052

My guess is that a business account account can't log into websites. They are listed as "Don't have a personal profile tied to them" and a Personal account is specifically listed as "Can connect with other people, join groups or play social games"

So, I think thats the answer to the question, but feel free to test with the above suggestions. It may be possible for us to make changes to JFBConnect to allow business profiles to login, but without a name, possibly an email address, or other information, it would be very limited as to what we could do to create the Joomla account.

Hope that helps,
Alex
