User can registrer through Google / FB although Joomla allow user registration is set to "No". Is there a parameter that I've overlooked, or is this a bug?

We currently don't have this as an option in JFBConnect. Right now, users will still be able to create users via social networks despite this setting being disabled. To clarify what you're asking, would you still want existing users to be able to log in via the social networks, but not register new accounts? I don't think this would be a difficult thing to add, but has not really been a requested feature before.

That's correct. When Joomla user registration is set to "no", users should not be able to registrer using their social profile with SCLogin. And yes, I would like existing users to be able to log in via FB or Google with SCLogin.

We can provide a small snippet of code to disallow registrations. However, can you let us know how you plan to let users register on the site? There's no way for you (the admin) to create a link between a user and their Facebook or Google account. That must be done by them. So, if we provide the code, you'll need to create the user a Joomla account and then they would need to login to your site with Joomla and then link their account to a social network. After that, they'd be able to login with their social accounts.

Let us know if that's the flow you envision or if you were looking for something else.

Thanks,
Alex

On our site Yogahuset users registrer through nBill order forms, which add them to Joomla registrered users, as well as a client in the nBill database. So the only way one can registrer, is through placing an order. That's why we have disabled user registration in Joomla. But for these existing customers we offer SCLogin as an easier solution, as people tend to forget their username/password and are often confused by the standard Joomla prosedure for retreiving these. I hope this is clarifying.
