First of all, the documentation about this plugin is very poor. All of then is about oldest version of this plugin and the instructions is limited to "how to create an facebook app". Ok, but I know how can I do that. However, there are several tabs in CB Connect plugin Config page and I need to figure out how to use it.
Well, lets start about somethings that I suppose to be bugs.
- The Tools page isn't working! The button links to
/administrator/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=editPlugin&cid=506&action=tools however, this page shows 404 error.
- When I enable the facebook registration and click on facebook button, a pop up window opens, with the followed address and shows blank content. Nothing happens.

After that, I need to understand how to connect existing users accounts to their facebook (and twitter, google, etc) accounts and how tho use the facebook plugin element to create cb fields.
I found some errors and solve it. The cURL library was not installed on my server.
Now, I have two problems to create a single sign on using Facebook:
1 - Can I bypass "terms and conditions" verification when users are registering using Facebook? If not, how can I disable the login box in verification screen?
2 - How can I set other CB fields with fixed values if the registration came from Facebook?
1 - Can I bypass "terms and conditions" verification when users are registering using Facebook? If not, how can I disable the login box in verification screen?
Terms and conditions on Facebook? Absolutely not. The login dialog? No, it wouldn't function without it.
2 - How can I set other CB fields with fixed values if the registration came from Facebook?
Within CB > Plugin Management > CB Connect > Config > Facebook > Registration > Fields you can map Facebook fields to CB field values. Not all fields format in a way CB can utilize so not all fields are available. Also users profile privacy can also block some fields from coming through. Several fields have different permissions that you'll need to request on the Application tab (do not request them all, request what you need only).
