An updated version of JFBConnect (JED Link), SourceCoast's leading Facebook integration suite for Joomla, is available now. This release adds Facebook's Send button along with multiple minor features and bug-fixes. This is also the first release available from our new dual-release strategy keeping our Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 1.6 versions in sync for features and bug-fixes. With our new build system, we have one code base from which we can build JFBConnect for both Joomla versions. For more information on this release, and our dual development strategy, read on.
Recently, Facebook began emailing a small subset of JFBConnect user's notifying them that their application may be in violation of Facebook policy by inadvertently leaking some user data. We have researched this situation thoroughly, and feel these emails are in error, but would like to obtain as much information from our users about their configuration as possible. Please read on to learn about our investigation, and how you can help if you've received an email from Facebook.
JFBConnect has been a powerhouse for Facebook Integration on Joomla 1.5 since early 2009. Now, over 2 years of development and features bring these Facebook features to Joomla 1.6 with the new version 3.3 of JFBConnect. Powerful single-sign on integration, Open Graph support, automatic Likes/Comments in articles with email notifications, and a ton more is at your fingertips with the latest and greatest version of Joomla.
JFBConnect v3.2 is out now! We've already detailed the major new features in our sneak peak, but there's a few extra goodies in there for everyone! The Facebook for Joomla extension, now over 2 years old has always been a powerful single-sign on registration extension. Now it's your all-in-one Facebook social component as well. (Undecided?

In addition to the Open Graph integration, rich wall posts, custom registration fields, and automatic comments & like buttons in each article, this also has a slew of user-requested features, like:

Last week we released minor updates to the profile plugins for Kunena and JomSocial to improve their integration with Facebook. Both of these plugins are compatible with JFBConnect v3.1.x, our premiere Joomla Facebook extension (JED Link). You are advised to upgrade if you're using these 3rd party extensions and want to use the features mentioned below.
JomSocial Facebook Plugin v3.1.1 - Added an option to update the JomSocial status with the user's current FB status on registration/login.
Kunena Facebook Plugin v3.1.1 - Fixed a bug where a user's avatar may not be updated when logging back in.
Thanks for using JFBConnect!
The newest version of PayToUpgrade, version 1.6, is now available (JED Listing). This release has numerous enhancements and continues the march of PayToUpgrade in being the easiest way to charge users for features and permissions on your site, and for adding payments to 3rd party components like Mosets Tree, HotProperty, JomSocial, Agora, and more!
The biggest enhancement is the ability for a user to easily extend their upgrade without having to let it expire first. This allows a site owner to help prevent listings from going unpublished, maintain a steady revenue, and keep your users more engaged in your site. In addition, PayToUpgrade has also been updated to fully utilize Joomla's language files, so each page can be easily translated to your language of choice. Additionally, by request of users (where we get many of our development ideas) enhanced filtering options and ease-of-navigation features have been added in the front-end views.
Multiple other features and bug-fixes can be seen in the PayToUpgrade changelog. Or, read on to read about all the new features and the plans for the next version(s) of PayToUpgrade!
