Facebook Connect Plus placement

1. website: http://www.everydayclub.com
   Wordpress 3.1
   Buddy Press 1.2.8

   I am using the plug in - Add All Nav Links to BP Adminbar 2.1.2 - when a user clicks on login they go to a wp login page and the facebook button appears there, it’s not very user friendly, – is there a way to stop the redirect to the wp login page? I tried to use Branded Login for Buddypress but ran into all kinds of login issues when it was activated with Facebook Connect Plus.

   If possible, I would like to hid the login button on the nav bar and use the sidebar login widget AJAX Login Widget++ version 1.0.1 with the Facebook Connect Plus icon there is this possible?

   Thank you.

   Hi Steve,

   When using the Add All Nav Links to BP Adminbar plugin, you can hide the login/signup links in adminbar simply by going to the "Options" tab in the plugin settings page and setting "Hide Login and Signup Links" to "Enable".

   Not sure if AJAX Login Widget++ works with Buddypress... have you tested it?

3. Thanks Patrick – All I really want to do is put the Facebook login button from the Facebook Connect Plus plugin in a widget in the sidebar so folks can log in to the WordPress site as well as log in/register for BuddyPress with one click. If I can figure that out, then I will disable the log in up in the nav bar.

   If not, I will probably just go back to using a different FB connect for WordPress and a registration link for BuddyPress. I was using one earlier that worked but the user still had to register so it was a two step process.

   It is confusing to those of us new to this kind of stuff.

   Thanks again for getting back -Steve

5. Hi Steve,
   Put this in an a text widget

   [fb-connect] Please Login [/fb-connect]

   That will generate the login button

   and please make sure to put this somewhere(In bp-custom.php or functions.php)

   add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');//enable shortcode in text widgets

   Please let me know if that helps.

6. No, I could not get it to work after several attempts so I am using an easier plug in, I thought it was a plug and play kind of thing, not enough experience on my end to get it to work, if you are going to charge folks you may want to provide more detailed instruction or make it is easier to use for non-tech people...

7. Hi Steve,
   It is a plug and play thing. It should display the login button automatically on the BuddyPress login area and also on wordpress login screen.

   Which version of FB connect you were using ?
