Hi
In this site the 'connect to' icons display nicely in the 'My account' drop down
How would I present mine in the same way, I cannot see a way to place them in another area
On my site they are buttons underneath the login button

Ideally I would not place them in the drop down menu as I have this set to 'Vendor' access only
Any ideas on how to locate them in a different menu would be ideal.

The way to locate them in the SCLogin drop-down menu is very specific to our module. To do so, you set the SCLogin module to display any Joomla menu you've created. Then, if there's an "External Link" menu item with a URL of 'scconnect', the SCLogin module will change that into the connect buttons automatically. The same works for a direct logout link with the URL of 'sclogout'.

There's no way to include the connect buttons in other menu items right now. That may be something we add in the future, but it's only being investigated right now.

The other recommendation I'd have is to include the following tag wherever you want the connect buttons to show:
{JFBCLogin show_reconnect=true image=icon.png}
That will show the connect buttons to logged in users, but will also show the standard login buttons when the user isn't logged in.

I hope that gives you some ideas and gets you started. if you need more help or other suggestions, just let me know, and we'll gladly try to help further.

Thanks,
Alex

Thank you for info
I have now added the icons to the vendors menu

Would there be a problem with duplicating the login module, selecting a different menu, created just for this with the external url, for the show user menu.

I have set this up on my site so I have 2 x login/out modules
1 for vendors displayed on all pages visible to vendors and the 2nd instance visible to registered users but only in their profile page

Nope, not at all. Having a different SCLogin module for users that are logged in vs ones that are logged out, or for whatever reason, is perfectly fine. Sites can run with as many instances of the SCLogin module as you want :)

Of course, if you actually run into issues, just let us know. We'll gladly help get you going however we can.

Thanks,
Alex
