When trying to join it is not so obvious to potential members that they can sign in via their Facebook account. See screenshot. There is nothing to tell them otherwise and most would fill the form out from scratch. Most would not realise to change Auth type from basic to Facebook connect. |
That's a good point. Anyone know how to add a facebook connect button in place of the login form? |

Thanks for that link, I have set it up, but this area is what I meant, as when a new user wants to sign up they will click on Join which will present them with the area marked in orange not the pop up box you can also see. |

Incorrect editing of file.
The code has been in used for years on hundreds of sites. It has already been proven to work. So if it's not, then something was not done correctly or a incompatibly text editor was used to edit the php file. https://www.deanbassett.com |
I just added an html block and copied the link that comes up in the url when some one on my site attempts to use the facebook login feature, downloaded a "log in with facebook" button off the internet, inserted the image into the html block, link the image with the link from the url. It works just fine and everyone can see that they can log in with facebook. For some reason the php file on my server won't let me edit the file. There's nothing wrong with the code, it's my server. So this is my fix, it might not be the best, but it works for me. |

I was able to write this into php file and this is the better option than what I suggested earlier.
