Topic-icon EasySocial and JFBConnect Integration issue with {JFBCLogin}

Active Subscriptions:

None
I can't seem to get {JFBCLogin} to work on the EasySocial login page. I'm editing the correct file (the EasySocial theme's login/default.php), but when I go to that page it just shows {JFBCLogin} in the content and the plugin does not appear to be activating. I thought I had it figured out and added the "key" parameter to it with my custom Social Tag Admin Key (the docs need to reflect this if this is something that should be in there, by the way), but it didn't do anything. I have these JFBConnect plugins installed and enabled:

Authentication - JFBConnect
Content - JFBCContent
System - JFBCSystem
User - JFBConnect Social Integration

I assume all of this is handled by System - JFBCSystem or Content. I tried changing the order of the plugin activation to make sure it ran last, but that didn't do anything.

I've tried reinstalling JFBConnect as well and that did not fix the issue.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Quick update - I removed the "key" setting from the JFBConnect config, and the social icons started showing up in the theme. So my issue now becomes - the "key" does not seem to work properly, because if it's set and I use {JFBCLogin key=mykey}, it does not seem to recognize that the key is defined properly in the tag.

The key should definitely be working. There are many users, including this site, that use the key. The key is meant for sites with user-generated content, like this. Sites that use EasySocial generally should use it too, since they definitely have user generated content.

A few things to note:
* The System plugin is what replaces the 'tags'
* Try to use a simple render key with only numbers and letters. If you're using special characters, those may be the problem.
* If you have caching enabled, try disabling that.

From what I can tell above, it sounds like you got things going without the key. We'll gladly help get the key working as well, if necessary, just let me know if any of the suggestions above help.

Thanks,
Alex

* Noted

* Caching isn't enabled

* Not to do your QA for you, but the issue, I believe, is that I was using a combination of upper and lowercase letters (five characters, specifically key=sVM2j

- Whatever check you have for this, I'm assuming it is messing up because of that. If I change it to all lowercase, e.g., "dddddd", it works.

* Suggest updating the documentation to mention the key - I don't think it specifically mentions all of the optional fields in the tags for each documentation entry.

Thanks for the tips. They key check definitely shouldn't care about case of the letters. We'll have to investigate that further as that'd definitely be a bug.

We'll also look into the documentation for the easy-tags in general. There's quite a few of them and organizing the content well and making the right information easy to find is always an ongoing task for us. Thanks for the tip on where we can improve.
