CB required fields and full Joomla registration

Yes.

Unfortunately, Community Builder doesn't let us save a user if there's a field that's marked as required that isn't filled in. We're always working on ways to improve this, but until then, there's 2 options that will hopefully get you over this hurdle:
* If you're using the "Full Joomla Registration" setting (subject says you are), you can enable the "Show Required Fields At Registration" box in the CB plugin. This will show all non-mapped, but required, fields at registration for the user. Right now, if they leave it blank, it can still cause issues, and that's a bug we plan to fix soon.
* Mark that box as non-required.

Hope this helps, and sorry for the troubles!

Just wanted to note that version 3.2.2 of JFBConnect fixes the Terms of Service issue.

We also have a workaround for the Required Fields that you can do until our next version comes out. Please see the following link on how to manually fix this bug for the current version - www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/docs/thir...or-community-builder

The only fields that JFBConnect allows you to map to are text or textfield type fields (free form entry ones). This is because, if we allow you to map from Facebook to a radio button or select field, the data from Facebook almost surely won't match the available options you have set, so it would cause problems with user's profiles and multiple issues with CB trying to use that data.

So, that's why you only see the first, middle, last name fields. Since you have other required fields, that we don't import into, and have the Show non-mapped fields enabled, those other fields show up during registration. Can you let us know the field-type of the extra fields that are showing up during registration? Some do look like text fields, so not sure why they aren't mappable, but CB has many different (and similar) field types, so we might just not be supporting those yet.

Finally, for the email, did you create a separate email field inside CB? It has one (of type 'predefined') that should be used automatically. If you created your own though, that would explain why 2 are showing up during registration.

Hope that explains,

Yes, JomSocial is much easier for us to integrate with because they don't duplicate so much of Joomla's functionality (user registration, user activation, etc). JomSocial extends Joomla, whereas Community Builder replaces it in many regards (and not well, in my opinion).

Generally, when the account isn't activated, it's because the row in the Community Builder table can't be saved. This is usually when required fields aren't populated. First, I'd recommend trying to set all fields to non-required, at least temporarily, and see if you can properly register a new user. If so, start marking more fields as required until you run into issues. Any user's you've created previously will need to be deleted as JFBConnect only tries to register a new CB user on the initial registration, and won't 'fix' their profile when they try to login.

For the email field, generally, even the 'predefined' email field doesn't need to be marked as required, and CB (and JFBConnect) will treat it as required regardless.

Hope that helps, but if not, we may need access to your site to debug further. If so, please Private Message me the details. You can send a PM by clicking the arrow under my name (<----) and hitting the mail icon.
