Modifying the "Associate5" page
(United States)
Hi guys,
I want to modify the text of the page that pops up once someone has logged in using FB but the account hasn't been associated with a dnn account. I didn't see a template for it.

This is actually something controlled by the DNN authentication provider. As such we don't have the ability to make changes that you want.
Sorry. This is just how DNN handle things.

I think you misunderstand what I am asking. I want to change what the page looks like. Right now when the associate page appears there's a pig title called Associate5 on it. This will mean absolutely nothing to my users and cause confusion. I need to be able to have the flexibility to modify the verbiage (not the functionality) of the page.
Obviously I could modify the underlying ascx file but then I would loose and have to re-edit the file each time you released an update.
Does that make sense?

We are releasing a new version of the module that will remove the need to have this page, the module will auto register users.

How will the module know how to link a fb account to a dnn account without the associate pages?

What is the behavior of the module if the email address used in FB doesn't match the email address used in DNN?

Same as it is for the standard DNN FB authentication here.

The current way the standard FB authentication works is flawed in that there's no way to "match up" logins with dnn logins (last time I checked 6.2.1), all of which makes it easy for user bloat. Coincidently, that is what makes your module attractive because up to know you did allow for that manually step of letting the user choose.
As suggestion, perhaps you could first have the module try to match by email, and if none found, let the user pick as they do now,
Thanks,
Doug

Re: Modifying the "Associate5" page

You know. This is the painful thing for us module developers.
We had a great little system that worked well. DNN corp cam along and created a botched crappy version of the same thing. After that, literally everyone wants to know why out module does not work out of the gate with the "Crap" DNN authentication methods.
So to avoid supporting (time is money) literally everyone that tests our module with the latest build of DNN, we are forced to integrate the sub standard DNN standard authentication method for out module.
Now we find out module works better for people who never really understood the beauty of or module and authentication methods in the first place, but worse for people like you who actually appreciated the work we did.
Only suggestion I have is the you run an earlier version of our module and use our authentication providers, uninstall the junk DNN ones.
Sorry, but the path of least resistance is necessary sometimes!
