Prevent Facebook Registration
(United States)
I am testing your product with the intent to purchase if it works out. I like what I have seen so far, but one issue is problematic. I want to use the Facebook Connect feature but cannot figure out how to prevent new registrations using it. I want the person to be able to integrate with an existing account only when using the connect. The form I tested prompts the user to either link to existing account OR make a new one with a facebook connect ID. Is there any way to suppress this?
Thanks in advance!

We will have a look into this and see what we can do. What exactly is the problem at your end if they connect that way? If you specify profile data that is required it will still be requested. So what problem are you actually trying to avoid?

I don't want usernames with facebook: in the title. The registration form does not allow a person to change the user name during the registration process. Sometime people will want to login without facebook connect and the username that is auto-generated is too hard to remember. Also, some of our users will allow profiles to be seen via other modules and I don't necessarily want people to know that they signed up via their facebook ID.

Along the same lines...why can't the person specify their own username? I get that it doesn't really matter if they are going to login via facebook everytime, but it seems like they should be able to create their own username as a backup??
Also, I did a facebook connect, then went into Admin>hosts and deleted the user account, and everytime I try to register again using facebook connect, it generates the same "facebook:#########" username AND tells me the user name already exists even though I deleted it. What's going on?
I am also testing this module and need some clarification on how all this works.

Re: Prevent Facebook Registration

The unfortunate thing is that we are using the DNN API to create accounts with the facebook connector. This naturally is the best way to role.
It appears that the DNN user management system will delete the user table record without cleaning up the connection record created. This is why it fails.
Not a lot we can do about this without DNN fixing the issue. We are very reluctant to branch off into our own user management system.
Please feel free to log an issue with DNN over this. We will attempt to do the same.
