Jlinked with easy social

JFBConnect will be integrated with it later this week. That will be for Facebook, Twitter and Google+ social profile import and will add a new registration flow so that you can actually use EasySocial's registration forms instead of JFBConnect's.

LinkedIn will be integrated into the next major release of JFBConnect (due out around the end of this year). We're still evaluating if we are going to enable the social profile plugin for EasySocial for JLinked. Due to the new registration flow option we're adding, it makes it difficult.

I hope that answers your question, but your feedback, as always, is welcome!

Thanks,
Alex

Wanted to get back to you and let you know that the social profile plugin for EasySocial will work with both JFBConnect and JLinked. With JFBConnect, there will be extra features, including the new ability to use EasySocial's registration flow. However, the profile import, user creation, skip activation and other things will work with JLinked using the "Automatic" or "Normal" registration options that JLinked offers.

When JLinked/LinkedIn is integrated into JFBConnect early next year, then it too will be able to use the EasySocial registration flow and other enhanced features.

I hope that helps explain. Obviously, your feedback will be welcome once JFBConnect v5.2 is released on Friday.

Thanks,
Alex

Sorry for the delayed response. We tested a bit with JLinked and EasySocial, but all the features available for JFBConnect (specifically, the new registration flow using EasySocial) wasn't possible. When we integrate LinkedIn into JFBConnect early next year, that will be an option.

With that said, can you let me know how you're performing registration? Are you doing "Automatic" or "Normal" registration within JLinked? It's possible we missed something in one of those flows.

Another thing to test is simply disabling the Social Profiles - EasySocial plugin. When you do that, does authentication work again? That will help narrow things down for us further.

Thanks,
Alex

Have you tried disabling the Social Profiles - EasySocial plugin to test if that fixes things? I'm not sure how that plugin would be preventing LinkedIn login, but narrowing it down to that plugin would definitely help diagnose things further.

As for deleting the user, that shouldn't cause the problem. However, make sure that there is no trace of the user in:
* EasySocial's user manager
* JFBConnect's User Map area

Thanks,

The user making the connection won't show up in the JFBConnect user map area if you're logging in with LinkedIn. That will still be in the JLinked User Map area, for now. Can you check there to see if it's working correctly?

If it's not showing there *and* the EasySocial profile plugin is disabled, that means the issue isn't related to that plugin. The problem is something specific to JLinked/LinkedIn.

In that case, can you clear browser cache, disable Joomla's caching and disable any SEF extensions you have enabled and then try again? That will narrow a lot of possible issues really quickly. If that works, we can narrow down things further, if not, it means that it's likely a communication issue with LinkedIn itself (either the API/Secret key are incorrect or LinkedIn is responding incorrectly).

Let me know how the above test goes, and we'll move on from there.

Thanks,
Alex
