[SOLVED] CB Connect working yesterday with LinkedIn, not today

Thanks Kyle, what you did fixed this issue!

You are right with my original testing I deleted the test user from the Joomla User Manager. In my first day of testing that all seemed to work, and I checked that the test user was not listed in the CB User Management.

I wondered if there was something left behind in the database that caused the issue, but I didn't know what to look for about that.

So it sounds like I should be deleting users through CB instead of Joomla, and if I run into the same problem I'll figure out how to run a synchronization.

Thanks again for your help Kyle!

Best regards,

Paul Orwig

When you delete a user through Joomla it does not delete them from CB. CB Connect checks if a CB user has the social site id associated with them already then behaves accordingly. If however you deleted them from Joomla and not CB then they only half exist. So when it finds a user that is already associated with the social site id it trys to login, but it can't because your Joomla user is gone and you have no username.

Correct, when CB is installed you should always manage your users from CB > User Management.
