First a little background, I am new to Joomla, but have some php experience. I have setup a small site for a bunch of friends. I don't want to open up registration, so I am managing users manually. When I click on a social login button, and it hasn't been associated with a new account, it creates a new account for that user. Is there a way to prevent this behaviour, and only allow the user to login via the social buttons, but if the account doesn't exist, just redirect back to the login page? Ideally, this would be a configuration issue either through the SCLogin extension, of via a Core Joomla feature, but a indication where in the php code to modify, would also be acceptable.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Garrett,
There's a few ways to do what you're looking for. First, we'd need to know what version of JFBConnect or JLinked you are using, since you mention you want to prevent registration through those social buttons. The solution will be different depending on the version and extension you are using.

Finally, please post from the account that you have an active subscription to either of those extensions from. The SCLogin module is free and we support it freely. Our social networking extensions are commercial and require a subscription for support.

Thanks,
Alex
