JFBConnect Installation Screen

The installation process will install multiple modules and plugins for integration with Facebook. For JFBConnect version 9.x and later, plugins for additional social networks, such as Google, Twitter, and LinkedIn need to be installed and enabled separately. Additional plugins for integration with specific 3rd party extensions like JomSocial, Community Builder, jReviews and others will be installed if those extensions are installed on your site.

Once installed, click the "Run Autotune Now" button. You will need your social network Application ID and Secret key to use the auto-configuration tool. The next page explains how to get the Application information.
