Forget about the earlier posted snippet. It was the wrong place to make changes to.

I do not know where the bug is. What I know is that a login via Facebook Connect creates a JUser object with invalid _authLevels. Subsequent calls to JUser::getAuthorisedViewLevels() don't check for changed _authLevels since this only happens if( empty( $this->_authLevels ) ). Making $this->_authLevels = JAccess::getAuthorisedViewLevels($this->id); on 426 in joomla/user.php unconditional fixes things for me (with obvious performance penalties) for now.

Well, since J's behaviour obviously changed from 1.6.x to 1.7.x I'd say it is a bug in Facebook Connect when used with 1.7.x.

Sorry. You named it: frustration.

I see, seams the creation process of a user isn't completed properly. Will be reviewing for next release to ensure usergroups are added correctly. It's likely due to only populating GID instead of also populating GIDS, which was implemented for J1.6/J1.7 usage. Will know more once I review.

Is not always the extensions fault, but is likely for this to be the case in this situation. None of them (FBC, TC, and CB Connect) have been upgraded to support J1.6/J1.7 ACL as of yet.

I'm looking forward to it!

I'm not looking for a guilty party

The only thing that matters to me right now is to have a workaround so I can move on digging code

You can try reviewing the source, locating the registration process, and populating the user object with GIDS instead of just GID. Example as follows.

$user->gids = array( $user->gid );

At any rate again will be reviewing shortly after GJ 2.4 stable release and be preparing new releases addressing J1.6/J1.7 issues.
