On the latest JFBConnect Version and Joomla 1.5 version with Community Builder.
Login works fine and the Friends Module works fine too. But the Activity Feed module acts like the user isn't logged in. It shows a line for each recent activity including the right count of number of users who "liked" or "commented', but each line says "Login". When the user clicks on login, it takes the user to the right article/page, but the feed still acts like it's not logged in.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Please check the settings for the Activity module and set the URL parameter (or whatever it is) to your site's domain instead of the home page URL. I can't be sure that's your issue, but think that's the cause of the problem.

If your site is www.site.com, simply use the following setting:
site.com

Hope that helps, but definitely let us know what you find!

Thanks Alex. I had tried various version of that including site.org, www.site.org and www.site.org. It's currently set to site.org, but no joy.

ahonaker,
Can you let us know your site address so we can see your configuration and compare against Patrick's to see if there's anything in common that might be causing this issue?

Also, can you let us know how the Activity Feed module looks on our demo page below if you're logged in (or not) to Facebook:
www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/demo/social-modules

Thanks,
Alex

I made the same edits, no change, those modules still don't work.

Also - when I visited the website (springportmotorspeedway.com), I was not automatically logged in, even through I was logged into Facebook.

regarding your request to visit the test pages..

I logged into SourceCoast.com

Click your link in the forum to the demo page, and it said I wasn't logged in :

The modules also did not recoginize that I was logged in to the site and into facebook

File Attachment:


So I clicked the log-in button on the off-chance that the demo page was using a different database and different root.. I clicked it one time, brought up the "authorize sourcecoast/facebook connect window" - clicked okay - and it dropped me back on this screen :

File Attachment:


Note that while it addresses the page to me "Welcome Patrick! Thanks for signing in using Facebook."

It also says immediately below, that I need to sign in or register.. that is a fail and what my users are experiencing when they try to use the fbconnect deal, they end up not logged in, or kind of logged in, they follow the "Fill in the following fields to have an account created for you. We'll automatically import your avatar and profile from Facebook for you." and end up creating another account OR they leave the site all together because they have lost the page they were on and they don't know what to do.

I however - continued on by trying to bring up the demo page you requested.. where it showed that I was still not logged in and the modules still didn't show me as being logged into facebook.

Thanks Alex. The site is www.hlyc.org but it's a closed membership site, so you won't be able to register to see what's going on.

Here are three caps showing a) I'm logged in to the site b) the Activity Feed does not think I am and c) when I click on one of the items in the feed and go to the article, the Comments do know that I am logged in.

I tried the demo site, and while it didn't automatically log me in with Facebook (which I didn't expect), once I did log in and authenticate with Facebook credentials, the Log In button/link on the Activity Feed did go away.

Patrick,
The demo site is a completely separate Joomla installation, so logging into the main sourcecoast.com doesn't log you in there. You'd need to create a new account. We erase the users from that site periodically and basically start from scratch here and there, which is why it's separate. It also helps us to prevent to many 1-time login users from registering (and testing) on this main site.

The Login/Register page can be skipped entirely if you set the User Creation mode to "Facebook User Only".. it will create an account for the user if they don't already have one and skip that page entirely. You can also enable the "Automatically link users by email address" setting which will see if there's a Joomla user with the same email and automatically link them. Then, if the user still reaches that page, they can always use the left hand side of the form to 'connect' their Facebook account to an existing one.

Yes, there are ways users can get 2 accounts on your site.. a Joomla one only and a Facebook one only. We've tried very hard to minimize that, but if the site is configured to do so or if the users don't read (or understand) the instructions, there's not much more we can do about it. If you have suggestions, we're welcome to them.

Back to the activity stream.. still not sure why it's doing that for you. We can't recreate it, which makes it difficult. I'm hoping ahonaker can let us know his site info so we can see the similarities there.

However, in the meantime, can you try going to Facebook's own demo page and see if it is detecting you logged in there:
developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/activity/
Feel free to try and set the domain to your site, or SourceCoast.com, or elsewhere, and see if you see a difference. When I'm logged into Facebook, whether here, on your site, or on the FB demo page above, it never asks me to log in. Would like to know what you see there as well since that's not connected to JFBConnect at all.

Thanks,
Alex

I think the Facebook User thing will help.. I misunderstood what that meant, I thought that meant the user didn't create an account at all, that they were just a guest user using the FB creditials that one time..

I changed that now..

I am still not getting logged in automatically thought..

And I still don't know what the other stuff is happening.

I did have another facebook connect thing running at one time (cameron barr's jfacebook)

but I uninstalled it.. any chance there is any ghost script floating around inside the template or whatever that might cause what we are seeing ?

So, when I check the plugin at Facebook (via developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/activity/), I get the same thing. Which, to your point, means it is not likely JFBConnect related. But now I'm really stumped.
