Hi, I would like all of my registration pages to be linked to JLinked's registration landing page, where it ask "Do you already have a profile on this site, if not create one". Can someone tell me what the link is? I can no longer get to it because I've linked my account.

You can't just send a user directly to that page. They need to have already authenticated with LinkedIn for that page to work, as we pull information about the user from LinkedIn to prepopulate some of the fields and information on that page. If they get there without already authenticating, there's no method for them to authenticate through LinkedIn, which would cause other problems.

For standard Joomla registrations, you should use Joomla's built in process.

Hope that helps explain,
Alex

I guess what I was trying to say is, when users click "register with this site" I would like to go to "component/jlinked/?view=loginregister" instead of the standard Joomla registration because if they register with Jlinked registration page its the only time they are prompted to import their Linkedin profile. Especially since they can't import their profile once they sign up better to do it from the beginning.

I was able to unlink my account to find the url, which is what I needed and I will manually try to go in my cpanel to replace registration links with yours:) So I believe this may be a solved issue for now.

No, you really shouldn't do that. That page expects that the user has already clicked the "Login with LinkedIn" button and approved your website for using their LinkedIn account. If they go directly to that page without authenticating through LinkedIn, JLinked should automatically redirect them to the home page because it won't be able to get any information about that user from LinkedIn. If you removed the User Mapping for your existing user, that page -will- work, simply because you've already authenticated through LinkedIn. Other users will be very confused and will not be able to register.

Hope that makes sense. To test what I mean, log out at LinkedIn.com and try going directly to that page loginregister page on your site. It will simply redirect you to the home page.

It will definitely be in the 1.1 release of JLinked. We've heard loud and clear that this is wanted, and we'll get it in there soon.

Thanks,
Alex
