CBActivity doesn't recognise a login if from another system

I don't suggest that, because the one you are using is not designed for CB. It's not registering users with CB API or logging in users with CB API. So any users registering through it will go out of sync and will not fire any of CBs login/registration triggers.

CB Connect also doesn't rely on Facebooks JS API making it significantly faster and prevents it from conflicting. Your current solution loads in Facebooks JS API, which can be slow and buggy as well as conflicts with it self. You can see Facebooks JS API loaded in your header as follows.


It is also why the button "pops in" and is not ready to go immediately as it has to wait on Facebook, which if their JS API server goes down so does your button.

There's nothing quirky about CB Connect. The message is a simple language string, which have provided you the define. The borders is simple CSS addition, which I have already written and tested for you and will be fixed in next release.

At any rate you're welcome to use whatever you like. Just an FYI encase you run into future problems.

I misunderstood you info re the button (I thought it replaced some code but saw later it was added) and so with that a other tweaks to get the size and colours I have the buttons looking nice now, thanks (perhaps it could be added as standard in next release?)

I found the language and replaced the log in message with just '' but on login with Facebook it did not go to the specified start page after login, however it looks like setting it to ' ' (i.e a blank space) stops any message appearing and also allows it to go to the specified start page although it does seem to take a noticeably long time to actually show the page compared after the (empty) pop up windows shows - I have not noticed the same delays using JFBConnect (I'm not using their SC Login)

Next issue though is that on the front page I would like to have a 'Login with Facebook' button on a button bar I have created. I also have a link to take them to a User login page that has the CB Login module (with CB Connect)

Is there a way to do this? I don't really want the CB Login module on the front page as it takes up so much space and also by only having the Facebook login button it encourages them to link their account. I found some info on doing this but it seems you have to have CB Login on the page and enabled and showing?

Next release the buttons will be CSS driven instead of a repeating background.

Next release will have a parameter to suppress login messages so you won't need to edit any language strings.

I'm not sure what delay you're talking about, but it can only work as fast as your server and your connection can handle. JFBConnect does not register the user through CB API. CB registration is heavier than Joomla registration due to fields checking, etc.. so it's going to be slightly slower, but nothing really noticeable.

As long as the CB Login module is present and has integrations enabled in it then the API will load and you can render the button anywhere you want. Please see the below regarding rendering it outside of login module, but again the login module must be present or its API won't be loaded in.

The CB Login module has to be present as it loads in the CB Connect API. You can hide the module using CSS though so the API can be loaded, but the module can't be seen.
