CBConnect configuration

Hi,

I installed CBConnect and configured facebook, twitter and linkedin in backend.

Have a lot of questions, sorry, as i couldnot find any tutorial or user manual, so here they are below:

- I dont want users to register using their social media credentials, also i'm going to install CBSubs, which i guess does not integrate with CB Connect, at lease found nothing in CBSubs tutorial. What i want is users to be able to sigh in using there social media credentials after linking is done through their profiles. So i went ahead and disabled 'register' in configuration, but then checking from the front end i noticed that when user without linked social media profile pushes any social media buttons (under log in box)- a message 'registration not allowed' appears. So i thought: if any possibility either 1. to change the wording of the message, to explanatory message, say: 'Please log in to your CB profile first, link with your social media profile', and in which file i can make those changes; 2. or make social media buttons to be visible to logged in users only?

-When i create FB social plugin field, something's not working, cause on the front end it shows field name and empty space against it, no comment box or like button, etc. just nothing, i uninstalled and installed CBConnect again in case something was missing during the first installation, but nothing changed

-Also a bit confused - in field specific parameters there are same options going under user, page and site - eg user comments, page comments, site comments- what is the difference, when use what? completely lost

-Also articles from CBblog will go to the publicly visible CMS page, how can i put for instance FB comment or like button under it, create fb comment field and place in the same module? would be non registered users say site visitors able to comment so that those comments go to their fb timeline? or do i have to use separate fb plug in from fb developer?

-similarly i have content on the site not associated with CB, eg general CMS articles - should i get separate fb plug from facebook developer (and if yes won't it fight with CBConnect) or can i use CBconnect facebook plug in field for this?

thank you in advance for your help

Your best solution is to change the wording. Making it only visible to logged in users defeats the purpose of the plugin.

The social plugin display is entirely handled by Facebook. CB Connect simply renders its HTML5 after loading in its JS file. Check browser error log by pressing F12 in Chrome or Firefox and clicking the Console tab to see if you have any fatal JS errors present. Most social plugins will not work unless the user has logged in using CB Connect.

-Also a bit confused - in field specific parameters there are same options going under user, page and site - eg user comments, page comments, site comments- what is the difference, when use what? completely lost

That's the scope. Please read the description directly above the parameter and the description on the icon mouseover for the parameter.

-Also articles from CBblog will go to the publicly visible CMS page, how can i put for instance FB comment or like button under it, create fb comment field and place in the same module? would be non registered users say site visitors able to comment so that those comments go to their fb timeline? or do i have to use separate fb plug in from fb developer?

CB Connect does not integrate with Joomla articles. Its purpose is to provide single sign on. If all you're wanting is Facebook Social Plugins then use Facebook Social plugins HTML as needed and don't bother with CB Connect. If you want Facebook commenting in articles I suggest downloading a Joomla extension to provide such a feature.

-similarly i have content on the site not associated with CB, eg general CMS articles - should i get separate fb plug from facebook developer (and if yes won't it fight with CBConnect) or can i use CBconnect facebook plug in field for this?

Yes and no it won't conflict.
