Hello,

just purchased your product with the hope that this will support the listed features together with K2.
However, on the documentation page i haven't found any info regarding special settings in case of K2.

For example, to start small -
how to integrate JFBCConnect with K2User (or maybe it would be easier to incorporate K2 User (login) into SCLogin)?
Important is that registered user will be assigned as K2 user and as soon as logged in will get an access to K2 user menu

Thank you in advance!

Can you explain a little more about what you're trying to accomplish? JFBConnect does create a user in K2 and can import their profile information. From there, I'm a bit confused if you want:
* To assign the user to a specific K2 user group so that they can post their own content
* Display a specific menu for K2 things to users that have logged in

Right now, we don't have a way to configure the K2 user group new users go into. However, it's extremely easy to set that in the code, if you'd like.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello,
actually assignment the user to a specific K2 user group is working with login module. No issue with that.
However, the usage of the K2 login looks to be more user friendly - by having a specific menu for K2 things to users that have logged in.

Our focus is on the stable user friendly env. therefore login without issues compatible with K2 features (as showing K2 specific user menu) is a target.
Since your specific of the JFBConnect is the compatibility with K2 i am very interesting in having a solution for this issue. Maybe some other users had already solved it?

There's a few ways to do what you're looking for:
* Use the "User Menu" option of the SCLogin module. You can create any 'user friendly' menu items you want using the Joomla Menu manager, including those in the K2 User Module (I'm pretty sure you can create all those without issue). You can also create other non-K2 specific menu items that way. This is what we'd recommend as it requires no modifications to our module or the K2 Login module (you just won't use that).
* Alter the K2 User module and add the {JFBCLogin} tag to it's template file. That will add our social login buttons to it.
* Enable the SCLogin module only for "guests" and enable the K2 User module for logged in/registered users. With this, you have the best of both worlds.

I hope that helps, but should you need anything else, just let me know.

Thanks,
Alex
