Configuration Guide

This configuration guide is for JFBConnect 4.2 for Joomla 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 2.5

• If upgrading from JFBConnect 2.x or 3.x, please read our upgrade guide first.

Installation

Installation of JFBConnect is just like other Joomla components. Simply use the "Extensions->Install/Uninstall" or "Extensions->Extension Manager" menu item in the administration area. Use the "Upload Package File" section. Unzip the file you downloaded onto your local computer. Then select the main component zip file (example: com_jfbconnect_j1.X_vX.X.X.zip), and click "Upload File & Install".

You should see an output window similar to the one below upon successful installation:

The installation process installs the component, 4 plugins, 1 library and the SCLogin module.  Later steps will explain configuring each of these extensions.

Go here for more directions on installing the profile plugins (example: jfbconnect_profile_plugins_j1.X_X.X_XXXXXXXX.unzip_first.zip) or go here for the social modules (example: jfbconnect_social_modules_j1.X_vX.X_XXXXXXXX_unzip_first.zip). These files are not necessary for every JFBConnect installation.

Once installed, we recommend clicking the "Run AutoTune Now" button. You will need your Facebook Application ID and Secret key to use the auto-configuration tool. The next page explains how to get the Facebook Application information.
