Removing Facebook Login Completely .

I would like the facebook login option completely removed from my site. I saw a post from a few years back instructing to simply uninstall it, but that still leaves a lot of code trash behind.

I am running 7.09 (only because an update would trash my site)

I also found that in some cases, uninstalling it causes an error when trying to log-out of your profile.

Any help would be appreciated.

Uninstall it.

Now as for leaving code trash behind, you will have to explain what your talking about and why uninstalling it is not working for you because that is all that is required.

Oh, and as for that one. Should not occur unless you used facebook connect to login before you uninstalled it. So make sure you login normally before you do.

Question then; what if you have it installed and have members that have logged in using it.  How would you go about uninstalling then since that means you can not be sure of members logging in normally which means they get an error when logging out?  Can you run a script to log out all members and then uninstall it, or would you still have the issue?

I was not 100% correct on that one anyway. I will explain it in more detail.

Facebook connect will not create a problem on logout unless the uninstall was not complete and the alert did not get removed. Thats the only thing that will cause a problem.

If for example facebook connect was removed but for some reason the alert was not removed during uninstall or the cache did not get cleared during uninstall due to a permission problem then when a logout occurs a alert is triggered for a module that no longer exists which in turn causes a error.

Can't be that I was logged in using Facebook, because Facebook login has never worked before. 

When I uninstall Facebook connect, and then test to see if it is gone from the drop down menu, it is still there accept it reads _bx_fblogin or something like that. I would like to see that gone also.

I will do a little more testing on the login/logout error and get back with you on the exact issue.

Then it is not properly uninstalling or the cache is not getting cleared due to permission problems. When facebook connect is removed, that is suppose to go with it.

Suggestion one. Clear your dolphin cache manually by removing all files except for .htaccess from the cache folder.

Suggestion Two. If suggestion one fails, then manually run the uninstall sql (modules/boonex/facebook_connect/install/sql/uninstall.sql) by pasting it as a SQL in phpMyAdmin. Then CLEAR DOLPHIN CACHE.

Not sure how skilled you are, or if you can even do that. Maybe have to tackle each problem one at a time.

Suggestion Three. If suggestion two fails, or you cannot do it, this SQL run in phpMyAdmin will remove the link from the drop down menu.    

DELETE FROM `sys_objects_auths` WHERE `Title` = '_bx_facebook';

Then CLEAR DOLPHIN CACHE.

One last thing.

Some caching engines such as memcache does not clear when a dolphin module is uninstalled which will result in the symptoms your describing.

If you are running memcache then switch to file for at least one hour so memcache has time to clear itself.

3'rd party caching services such as cloudflare can also create problems. They would need to be cleared as well.

Clearing the cache seemed to do the trick.

At first when I tested it, it came up the same problem. (both issues). then I re-installed the mod, then tried uninstalling again & logged out while still in the Admin side. I tried the login and the dropdown was still there.

I then closed all my browser windows and restarted my PC. When it came back up, all was ok at that time, including the logout issue.

Thank you all for your time, you guys are such a great help. Just wish you could help with some of the other issues I posted too, I'm getting no responds on them.

Thanks Again,

Mel
