Issues with Google and Twitter authentication

For Twitter, it is not auto logging in users when signed up for the first time. It always redirects to the registration page. How to enable Twitter to auto login similar to Facebook?

This isn't possible. Twitter does not return the user's email address so JFBConnect has to take the user through a mini-registration process. In the JFBConnect configuration area, you can disable other fields (name, password, username) so that the registration only asks for the user's email address while the other details are imported or automatically generated. The user will need to go through some flow to get their email address though.

Google gives this error "Cannot use a stream transport when fopen() is not available or "allow_url_fopen" is disabled." We have fopen disabled for security reasons. Is there anyway to use curl instead?

JFBConnect always tries to instantiate cURL for authentication. The other transport options have many issues, as you're seeing. Can you try setting the "Enable Debug Mode" option in the JFBConnect -> Configuration area to 'Yes'. That may display more details as to why cURL isn't being used or other errors that may be occurring during the authentication process.

Which Facebook Javascript code are you talking about the? The sdk.js file? Currently, we still leave that enabled on all pages as many of our other features rely on that code being present. I don't have an immediate suggestion on how to remove it. If it's critical, I'm sure we can help you make a minor code change which should prevent the code from being inserted if the user has logged in, but you'd need to test a lot to make sure it doesn't introduce other issues.

Thanks,

Here's what I'd recommend trying:
1) Edit /components/com_jfbconnect/libraries/provider/facebook.php
2) Around line 301, you'll see:Right after that, add:
That little bit of code will simply check if the user is logged in, in any way (Joomla credentials or any social network). If logged in, then all of the Facebook Javascript will not be inserted into page.

Some features that will no longer work for authenticated users if you remove that Javascript are:
* Email notification on new Facebook Comments
* Email notification on new Facebook Likes
* Connecting an existing account to Facebook

Please test and let us know how that goes. We'd really like to hear your feedback.
