Agreement to Privacy Policy + Terms of Use when at Social Registration

After clicking this link and log in the user gets redirected (from joomla i guess) to the edit profile page.

JFBConnect doesn't control the activation process. We create the user and let Joomla know the user needs to be activated. We then rely on Joomla to take care of the activation. I'm not sure if there's a way to change where the user is redirected after they activate their account.

I'm unsure of your need for activation. If you have a site that restricts users and you want to approve them, then activation makes a lot of sense. If you're enabling activation to ensure the user's email address is correct, you may want to try turning it off *for social network accounts* in JFBConnect. You can still use activation for users that register through Joomla, which is a good way to prevent spam accounts. Social networks generally vet accounts and disable spammy ones altogether. By disabling activation for social registrations, you let users into your site quicker. This also lets you control the New User Redirection page to a customized page for your User Agreement and Privacy policy.

Just a thought

This solution is so worst. Isn't there a way to start with agreement (and sure for privacy policy AND terms of use) BEFORE the user may social register.

There really isn't a good option or way that we know to do this. During the registration/login process, the user is redirected to the social networks to authenticate. There's not a way for us to know, before they authenticate, whether they already have an account or not. Since we don't know if they have an account already or not, Joomla (or JFBConnect) can't show them the privacy policy and other agreements until after they've authenticated with the social network.

What are you using to show the Privacy Policy and User Agreements? Is this the built-in GPDR functionality of Joomla 3.9, or something else? I'm not sure why users created through JFBConnect would be treated differently than ones created through Joomla. Can you check in the back end to see if the user has accepted the Privacy or User Agreements after they register with a social network? If one of those is checked off automatically, and they didn't actually do it (JFBConnect is somehow auto-approving something), we'll gladly look into it.

How those forms appear though isn't something we have control over though.

I do not understand why jfbconnect starts registration but not finish this.

I'm unsure what you mean here, but JFBConnect is meant to be another layer on top of Joomla's registration and login system, not a complete registration and profile management extension on it's own. We use things like Joomla's menu system, user manager, user permissions and many other features of Joomla. For us to re-implement some or all of what is already there isn't necessary and leads to more trouble than it's worth.

We've done some testing with the "User - Terms and Conditions" and know many sites use it. However, we can investigate if there are any better methods for us to integrate with it.

The only way I can see doing this is by sending users to the mini-registration page that JFBConnect has where the user can login or create a new account. On that page, we'd show the T&C's checkbox, like on the standard Joomla registration page. If the user chooses not to select that box, they won't be registered. That's another step during the registration process, and you could test how that would work by simply setting the "Enable Automatic Registration" setting to 'No' in JFBConnect.

Please let me know if the non-automatic registration flow is what you are looking for, with the addition of the T&C checkbox.

Thanks,

Sorry for the delay, but I have a few bits of good information for you

Futher it was so VERY Nice if only the missing info in Mini Registration Form is shown up and not the whole bunch of information again. This is so bad if it is double and three times ...

What i mean with that jfbconnect should end the process is, that it should be possible to define the landing page

The mini-registration form already has options to hide most fields that are imported or generated. In the JFBConnect->Configuration area, there are options to generate and hide the username, email, password and other fields. If that happens those are generated, they will be hidden, which means in some cases, no fields will show. You can also show the username that is generated, but show it to allow the user to change it, for example. Similarly, you can show the email address from their social network, but let them change it.

In the Profiles area, most social profile plugins also have an option to hide fields that have data being imported into them. That way, you can show the fields that aren't pre-filled, while still collecting extra data.

If that isn't working for you, please let us know what social profile plugins you have enabled.

Regarding GDPR, Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, the upcoming 8.1 release will support showing those fields on the mini-registration page and will throw an error similar to Joomla if they aren't accepted. With that, you'll be able to turn off automatic registration and should have a GDPR compliant site with social registration where accounts aren't created until the user accepts your terms.

We're expecting 8.1 to be released over the next week.

I hope that helps!

I'm not sure how the Aliexpress reset password feature works, so I can't really understand what you went through there.

The T&C's checkbox should only be showing on the registration side of the mini-registration form. Are you seeing it on the login side of the form, where a user can connect their social network to an already existing account?

We don't have a workflow sheet I can provide. I guess it's not a bad idea, but the main flow is:
Social Authentication -> (Automatic Registration) -> User is logged in, account is created for them automatically if needed
-> (User already logged in through social network) -> User is logged in
-> (Automatic reg disabled) -> User brought to mini-registration page where:
-> They can login to an existing account, T&C/PP should not be required
-> They can register a new account, T&C checkbox shown
