I have both the Joomla 2.5 and 3.0 versions of the (M)Social quickstart.
The 3.0 version will not allow users to Join in Jomsocial.
The page only adds an # to the end of the URL after clicking the join button.
This does not happen in the 2.5 version.
Please help!

I also tried the Gavick wiki for http://www.gavick.com/documentation/general-questions/how-to-replace-registration-sign-up-link-from-joomla-to-jomsocial/
It worked fine in 2.5 and 3.0 so it is a problem with the Jomsocial Join button in the 3.0 (M)Social template.

Also:
I was logged in to the 3.0 admin.
After I logged in to the Jomsocial frontend, I logged out out the admin.
When i try to log back in to the admin, i get this message:

Warning
You do not have access to the administrator section of this site.

Please help!

Sorry but when the problem exist with Beez template you need to contact with JomSocial because we don't support 3rd party extensions.

I am having the same issue. The link in the Get connected... Join Us Now It's Free area links to # when using the M Social template. When using Bees it links to index.php/jomsocial/register

I am using Joomla 3.2 and Jomsocial 3.0.5.3. I am building my website locally using MAMP with PHP Version 5.3.6.

Is there an override that we need to change somewhere>

I have found the solution.

Edit templates/gk_msocial/html/com_community/frontpage.guests.php

Find at about line 17 : <a href="#"> <?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_JOIN_US_NOW'); ?> </a>
Replace it with:
<a href="<?php echo CRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_community&view=register' , false ); ?>"> <?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_JOIN_US_NOW'); ?> </a>

Guys JomSocial support don't help you with this issue? It is component issue and phrase should be change in language file without view modification.

Hi, I have a similar issue with Music State Quickstart package.
The problem is - I cannot figure out which file and in which folder to look for, in order to make the change in code.
Could you please take a look and help? http://oi58.tinypic.com/157ygpt.jpg



Also, I want to stretch the image with people with hands in the air on JOIN US ITS FREE section, so that it fits the browser page.
I figured from your other posts that it is something to d owith the iwraper, but once again, where do i paste the code?


Many thanks in advance,
kate

@kate tartsus if the same happen on Beez/Prostar template you should contact with JomSocial support because JomSocial as a 3rd party extension is beyond our support. The problem is in component (if it is login issue) and some files have to be updated but for sure detailed description you will get from JomSocial support.
