J3, Creativity template and Facebook Authentication problem

I have a problem with Facebook authentication in the Creativity template. I am on Joomla 3.x

I have set the APP ID and secret key under Template settings and Facebook Authentication plugin and checked it and double checked it as well.

When trying to "Login using Facebook" it does pop-up a box where user has to enter email and password to facebook. It then gives the user the prompt about access and when the user clicks OK, it populates the Login module with "Facebook" username and some password.

However after this it fails to Login. Also no error is given and no user account is created in Joomla.

Could someone please assist in resolving this issue? Don Lee from the forum was extremely helpful in getting me to this point but there is no solution to this so far.

Is the Social API for this theme broken? Whats going on? Someone please assist with this.

Thanks

Hi

Please show me Your site.

My site is http://www.project24.in Look forward to your response.

Let me know if you wish access to the site.

Thanks.

Hi

I have sent you an email with credentials to the website, both Joomla admin and FTP.

Tried PM but it wasnt working and messages were stuck in the Outbox to no avail.

Hope you can help me resolve the Facebook authentication issue.

Thanks much.

Hi

Looks like everything is configured properly in joomla, so I think problem can be in settings inside facebook app. Can You please make a screen of this settings and show it to me ?

Hi

Here is the link to the screenshot of the Facebook app i created:

Hi

Could you assist me with a resolution to this please? Do you have any updates on this?

Thanks

Fix for you, it was a problem in FB Authentication plugin, Gavick used wrong code.

Hi Don Lee

Thanks a million! You' the man!

Works like a charm now. The only thing i wonder why Gavick would release templates that werent fully baked. Anyways...could you please tell me what file/files you made the change to so that i can backup the file/files for use in my other websites and as a backup.. i am not really into programming so i dont think i would be able to understand the changes you have made...

Thanks a ton for all your help and insight in this.

regards

Solution:

Open file:plugins/authentication/facebook/facebook.php

1. Find and remove:

Code: Select all

return $response;


2. Find all:

Code: Select all

JAUTHENTICATE_STATUS_FAILURE


Replace with:

Code: Select all

JAuthentication::STATUS_SUCCESS


Hi

Thanks for help Don. Isn't this plugin a default joomla plugin ? Maybe it will be better to put this code to override in /html to avoid losing of this fix during joomla update.

Teitbite mate, this module is made by Gavick and since it's is a plugin so we can't override it in html directory of the template, we can only edit directly in that plugin file and report to developers to fix for next version.

Hi

Really? I remember installing fb auth plugin from joomla repositiory, but it was for joomla 2.5 and You're right I cannot see it there for 3.0. About plugin override I'm always using this with k2mart, but again it ca be a different situation since K2mart got themes.

I could know that after looking at the header of that plugin file, I thought it was Joomla's but turns out it's Gavick's.

Code: Select all

Hi

Thanks for pointing that. I would have not know

Off topic: Did any of clients I've been sending to You got ever contacted You ?

Nobody has done mate, that's why I'm still around here but thank you anyway.

Thanks Don Lee for posting the solution for the better of the general community..

Appreciate your help with this.

regards

Hi Don Lee,

I applied your suggested changes (find and remove & find and replace) to the facebook.php file found here: plugins/authentication/facebook/facebook.php

I still am unable to get the Facebook login to work with my site. Do you have any suggestions? My site is http://www.gobenevolent.org

Thanks!

Hi

Ok, please leave this modification and try to download rest_files package and template again. Replace /layout/blocks/social.php and install facebook authentication plugin. If there is no such plugin in Your template's package try download one of the latest templates, it should be there.

Thanks for the reply but I dont need it anymore I want to accept Facebook Login only for existing Users not new one...

Hi

Thank I believe it's a matter of configuration. Please check if You have followed every step from the instruction: https://www.gavick.com/documentation/ge ... k-feature/

I have already done this step by step, it's really easy.
There's no issues with how I configured it. If you want I'll show you screenshots.

Hi

Ok. If You are sure about configuration than please try update the template to the latest version and send me na access to Your joomla panel.

I sent the login information.

Thank you for your time and comprehension.

Thank you for your time, but it`s actually working when other people log in. Because of the fact that I didn`t use my FB email as an administrator nor a user I thought I could log in using facebook. Being that the FB APP to enable the plugin is related to the account for some reason this crashes the code or Idk... But it`s working fine, that`s all I need!

Hi

Good to know. I just tried to logg in but access is not working already, but that's ok if You do not need my assist anymore.

Hi

Please show me Your site.

Hi

Hi

I can see an error telling that application is not configured correctly. You need to check the settings in app directly in Your facebook account. Start from checking if it's enabled for a public use.

I have same problem. I did everything what you are talking about. Even antoher forum issues abaout Facebook login.. when i try to login with Facebook, username becomes "Facebook"..and.. as you know...
actuually everything is problem about facebook on Gavick template. i think you don't take care Facebook apps ! but it is important for your customers.
