Facebook Connect remembering deleted users

Facebook Connect remembering deleted users was created by girlscoutsjs
I seem to be having several issues with this plugin. I think they're probably minor and setting based, but not sure.

When I first registered for the site under my own name, I used the Facebook Sign-In option and it worked perfectly. I made a change to my user name (which I now know is a no-no) and the Facebook button no longer worked.

I erased the user account, intending to start fresh. I log into Facebook, go back to the site and click the Facebook Sign-In option and it tells me "Error. Please enter a usermame:"

If I log out of my Facebook, the first time I click Facebook Sign-In I get an error "Facebook ID not present!" When I click a second time I get the Facebook login. When I log in to Facebook, I get the previous "Please enter a usermame:" error

Another error that I'm having may or may not be unrelated. If a user already has an account and logs into to the Joomla site and then clicks the Link Facebook button, they receive the error "An error occurred with Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore Region Portal. Please try again later." This error is from Facebook.


So, in other words, the plug-in for me works perfectly if it's a new users who is registering for the first time using the plug-in. In all other variations of use I'm having significant issues.

Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

This means your Facebook ID didn't properly store to Session. Possibly due to syncing, deleting, logging in numerous times.

If a user already has an account and logs into to the Joomla site and then clicks the Link Facebook button, they receive the error "An error occurred with Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore Region Portal.

More then likely an issue with Facebooks API, as stated numerous times Facebook is working to phase out their older API in favor of their OpenGraph API. They however are doing this at a faster pace then the developers.

So, in other words, the plug-in for me works perfectly if it's a new users who is registering for the first time using the plug-in. In all other variations of use I'm having significant issues.

Please PM backend Joomla login credentials and will take a look when time permits.

I was able to login perfectly fine using Facebook. This includes synchronizing an existing user and creating a new account entirely from Facebook. I also do not see any fatal type errors present that would stop FBC. I've cleared the FBC cache which may or may not resolve your issue as it may have been due to a bad cached XML of your Facebook data.

What about a user who has already been linked but their account on Joomla has been deleted and a new one created? (That's my situation due to testing).

I can't signup new or link because I either get the usermame error or "Facebook ID already in use or account mismatch! Please Logout and attempt to Sign in through Facebook."

I'll try the linking with someone else here to see if there are other internal issues.

Is purging the FBC cache different that the regular purging of cache in Joomla? If so, where would that be done?

Yes I tested this scenario using demouser1 (now deleted). It worked perfectly fine. Was able to sign in as expected.

Purging of FBC cache is done in the same way you purge Joomla cache. You'll see the Facebooks cache folder when purging. Simply check it and purge assuming cache is present that is.
