No. Facebook sends information to your site while a user is connected. There should only be one Facebook Connect extension running on your site to receive these messages, or else problems can arise.

Once JFBConnect integration with JomSocial has been enabled, you need to setup JFBConnect's integration. There are a lot more options available for user registration and login when using JFBConnect, giving you maximum flexibility over registration flow on your website.

This question is usually asked when by users who want to add the "Login With Facebook" button to the JomSocial homepage. If you want to add the button to a different page, the steps below still apply, but you will need to find the correct template file.
The landing page for JomSocial, when a user is not logged in, is generate by the frontpage.guests.php template file. To add JFBConnect's "Login With Facebook" button to this file:
A good spot is directly below the following line (toward the bottom of the file, where JomSocial normally places it's Facebook login button):
<?php echo $fbHtml;?>
Another common page to add the Login With Facebook button is the main registration page. To do so, edit /components/com_community/templates/<YOUR JS TEMPLATE>/register.index.php
You can add the {JFBCLogin} text anywhere, but a good recommendation is at the top right before the table that starts the registration form, or at the bottom (where JomSocial puts it's Login With Facebook button) after the $fbHtml text.
