In early 2014, JFBConnect's 'Channel' feature was released to allow users to quickly post Joomla content from their site to a Facebook Page or Group, Twitter Stream or LinkedIn Company. Almost immediately we heard calls to make the process fully automatic. After a lot of development and refinement, that automation is coming in JFBConnect v7, along with numerous other improvements.

Read on for more details of one of our biggest releases. Ever.

Almost a year ago on April 30th, 2014, Facebook made a sweeping change to how it's authentication and integration platform works. At that time, Facebook introduced the Graph API v2.0 which changed the authentication process, added restrictions to many permissions, changed their Javascript interface and changed how user IDs are retrieved for each user. 

These changes will be applying to all Facebook Applications soon and your site may need to be updated to ensure compatibilty. Read on to learn more.

JFBConnect v6.3 is available now. This release brings over 50 new features, usability improvements and bug-fixes. The major updates include Joomla 3.4 compatibility, Yahoo integration, a new front-end method for letting users manage their social network connections, social sharing improvements and new debugging features to help narrow down issues even faster.

With JFBConnect, your website will cover authentication from more than 98% of the providers on the chart above.

Hot off the presses, JFBConnect v6.2 is now available. If you want social network integration on your site, this is the release for you. With 3 new social networks (Meetup, Amazon and WindowsLive) and over a dozen new features, including embedded Twitter posts, point rewards for social engagements, Alpha User Points and HikaShop integration, huge performance improvements and much more, there's something for everyone to like here.
