Couple of Facebook login issues

Hi

I am currently experiencing a couple of facebook related issues with the Music template (version 2.9; Jomsocial theme 2.6.2), which I am finding difficult to solve.

Issue 1: The GK Facebook login appears within the login pop-up, even though it has been disabled in the template settings and the plugin has been disabled. The button that appears is obviously non-functional and I would like to get rid of it.
Issue 2: I am using the Jomsocial facebook login button on the Jomsocial Frontpage. Functionally it is working fine, but when the page loads it appears to jump around the screen before landing in its final position. I have looked into the CSS but haven't been able to solve it.

You can see the above issues at the following URL: www.webwonga.com

Any ideas on solutions?

Kind Regards

Hi

I can see login link is not opening a popup but redirects to login page. Have You made it like that ? Or is it another problem ? I will tell You the code to block fb login in popup when I see it.

Unfortunately I cannot do much about jumping button in joomsocial. This is loading a script for replace the code for button, so this small delay will olways be there. You can try to make it less visible by using cache and css/js compression.

I have been playing around with js compression today - this was probably caused the problem with the pop-up. I have now restored original settings, so the pop-up should work as expected. My apologies for this not being available when you visited the site.

With regard to issue 2, the delay in the facebook button replacing the text is not in itself a problem (as you say, caching/compression should help). However, this is not simply a delay, it is a mis-positioning of the button, followed by a correction movement. Originally, the facebook button was appearing in the wrong part of the page - below the forgotten password block (class greybox-remember). I added a template override increasing the login field width to correct this.

#community-wrap .cFrontPageRight {
top: 10px;
width: 46%;
}
body #community-wrap div.greybox div div div.loginform {
float: right;
height: auto;
padding: 29px 0;
width: 102%;
}

Perhaps this was the wrong approach? So, I have commented out this override to let you see the original problem.

Hi

Ok. About fb login. Lets make sure it's none of the known issue.

- please update the template to the latest version
- please configure fb login api and secret in template configuration
- please configure fb login api and secret in plugin configuration, make sure plugin is enabled
- try if re-captcha is disabled

When You check the above and it still will not be working please send me joomla panel access.

About jumping button. I think that this has to be set in a right place by editing the code which is generating it. Unfortunately I have no Joomsocial installed, so I will need an FTP access to find the right file to do this.

Hi teitbite

With regard to the questions you raise related to issue 1:
"Please update the template to the latest version" - in Joomla Extension Manager the template version is showing as 2.9 and the latest template update I can find is 2.6.1. So, I'm unsure about whether to upgrade or not. The template I am using was downloaded in May 2012, and the 2.6.1 upgrade from November 2012 doesn't look like it includes any fixes for this problem.
"Please configure fb login api and secret in template configuration" - done.
"Please configure fb login api and secret in plugin configuration, make sure plugin is enabled" - done.
"Try if re-captcha is disabled" -done (Joomla recaptcha enabled).

Unfortunately, the problem still remains.

I will send you back-end/FTP login details via PM.

Thanks for your help so far.

Kind Regards

Hi

There is a newer version with couple of fixes around bf login. You have not see it because the name of the project was changed to point it's a J2.5 template https://www.gavick.com/index.php?filter ... Itemid=399

I think this update will solve Your problem. But just in case I'll be monitoring this thread from time to time, so let me know if anything will be wrong.

Hi teitbite

I have upgraded to the latest version of the template as you suggested. Unfortunately, both problems still remain.

It would be appreciated if you could have a look. Details sent to you last week by PM are still valid.

Hi

Authentication - Facebook plugin was disabled. Looks like now it's working fine.

Hi teitbite

I have just checked the site and both issues still remain.

Issue 1: I want to remove the Facebook login option from the Joomla login pop-up (as I am using the Jomsocial version). Still unable to do this.

Issue 2: Jumping of Jomsocial facebook button.

It would be appreciated if you could look again.

Many Thanks

Hi

Och. Sorry, I have mistaken Your thread with a different one. Please send me an ftp access to Your site. I can see that template have some errors. I'll try to overwrite it to fix them.

Thanks teitbite

Access details have been sent via PM.

Hi

I've disabled facebook login button in login popup by removing part of the code responsible for it form /html/mod_login/default.php

Unfortunately I cannot do anything about jumping fb login in joomlart login. This button is being loaded using javascript so it's original size is displayed properly, the problem appears when button is being loaded.

teitbite

Many thanks for solving the first issue.

I'll just have to keep looking for a solution for the Jomsocial FB login.

By the way, I have noticed that since upgrading the template last week my template manager is broken (tabs permanently open and some buttons non-responsive. I'll open a new ticket)

Kind Regards

Hi

This is the code I've removed:

Code: Select all

<gavern:fblogin>
<div id="gkFBLogin">
   <h4><?php echo JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_FB_USER'); ?></h4>
   <p><?php echo JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_FB_INFO'); ?></p>
   
   <span id="fb-auth"><small>fb icon</small><?php echo JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_FB_LOGIN_TEXT'); ?></span>
</div>
</gavern:fblogin>

Many thanks. Problem solved.
