I subscribe to SouceCoast and have installed but not configured JFBConnect onto my EasySocial site. I am using this mostly because I want the logins via multiple services.

I am assuming a couple things but want to make sure.

1) I suspect we should turn OFF your facebook login integration in order to use theirs.
2) I am wondering if their SCLogin would replace yours?
3) I am wondering if you recommend we use any of their other tools like the likes, shares, etc. or if it is best that I just use their tools for the login capabilities and use StackIdeas tools for the rest.

Thanks, Sean Carney
Hello Sean,

I guess the best place to actually ask this is in their forums because they would have their own recommendation I only tested it once with the FB login.

Do you have a way for my EasySocial and EasyDiscuss to share a login screen? I am actually going to use the Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn logins from SourceCoast and in a perfect world would figure out how to only have ONE login screen.

Advice would be appreciated. It would be nice not to have multiple login boxes.

Thanks, Sean

hey sean,
you could set easysocial as your login / registration option at your components and then you could use the easysocial login page (dashboard) as the one login screen. if you then insert the jfbconnect tags there or place the login module at this page everything should be fine.

hope that helps

Yep, that seems like the way to go. I also got the same answer putting in a support request at http://sourcecoast.com

I am looking forward to doing this. I am wondering if there will be away to make ALL joomla login requests go to the EasySocial login?

I will play around and see what I find. I am using another third party app which is YooRecipe and want to make anybody registering there also use the EasySocial login.

hey sean,
are you using a sef extension? (sh404sef for example)
if so and your other extensions as yoorecipe don't have an option to use easysocial as login/ register extension then you could add the login/register links from these extensions to your sef url manager and create a re-direct to easysocial easily.
of course you can also achieve this by hacking the files directly but the described solution above might be the easier one

Yes Alex,
Thank you for your advice. I do not actually use an SEF software. I used to but found that it usually would end in complications.

In the older days of StackIdeas we actually implemented SH404 for our site but because the URL database is so huge, it eventually resulted in a MySQL slow log and we have now just relied purely on the SEF of Joomla (Which also works too).

Not sure if the latest releases of SH404 is much faster now but it's worth a try I guess

Thank you for letting me know. I also decided to just use the SEF of Joomla. It is very good now.
