This isn't working for me - please help - paid subscriber

Thank you for being a subscriber. It's called out under your name for us, and everyone, to see your support.

Now, for your support.. Starting with the Invite module. If you aren't properly logged in through JFBConnect (both through Facebook and the associated Joomla account), that could easily explain why it's not showing properly. So, moving on to why it might not be working at all... The invite module only works if you're logged in with Facebook as well, not just with a Joomla account. Not sure what you mean when you say you can test because "you already had an account".

I'm assuming you've fully been through the JFBConnect Configuration Guide. If not, please go completely through that:
www.sourcecoast.com/extensions/jfbconnect/configuration-guide

To note in particular, please verify the following:

• Both the JFBC Authentication and User plugins are enabled
• The User plugin is ordered AFTER the Joomla User plugin
• Your FB Connect URL (setup in the FB Developer area) is the exact same as your site's page, including the www or not, depending on how you have your page set up.

After that, please check the Usermap area of JFBConnect administrator area and see if any rows have been created. There should be one for each user including their FB Id and the associated Joomla user. If this isn't being created, let us know. That's generally a configuration error.

To answer some of your other questions:
No, a user doesn't have to create an account separately. It's part of the registration process (this can be seen on the demo site). After they login the first time with FB credentials, they're asked to create their account (username, email, password) or to associate their FB account with an already existing Joomla account. This is the behavior when "Create New Users" is set to 'yes'.

Hope this helps, and let us know any errors or issues that continue to crop up and we'll help you get up and running.

There isn't much to look at. Can you try disabling the Like and Share modules to test if JFBConnect works properly? For now, there may be a conflict between these modules. That will help us determine if there's anything we can do right now.

With the upcoming release of JFBConnect 3.0, modules for Like and Share will be included in the package, so you won't have any compatibility issues at that point. That should be by the end of this month or early next month.

Here's always best, as it allows others to see the eventual resolution in case they run into similar issues.

I just tried to log into the wsmagazine.net/zine/ site, but the password automatically emailed from Joomla doesn't work. Can you try logging in with those credentials? Maybe I'm crazy. I haven't tried on the other site yet because I can't see the JFBCLogin module enabled, so I'd rather work with what looks to be the main test site. If I'm incorrect, let me know.

As for the forum software, we use Agora from jVitals . It's probably the best Joomla integrated solution, but not as powerful as something like a bridged PHP3 solution, which we've used on other sites. The advantages of it being native to Joomla are hugely beneficial for our site here though. Compared to Kunena, it's a dream for making modifications as the code is much cleaner. NinjaBoard is the other up-and-comer that I'd recommend if you're looking for good forum software.

Thanks for resending the credentials. I logged into the /zine/ site. The user plugin was not ordered correctly, as indicated a few posts above to check. I fixed that by putting it in order 1 and left the Joomla user plugin at order 0. Additionally, on the JFBConnect administration page, the following error is in red:

Application Name: Word Salad Connect

Connect URL: wsmagazine.net/
We suggest updating your Connect URL to: wsmagazine.net/zine/
You can do this by visiting: Facebook Developers
Once there, select your application, click Edit Settings, and change the Connect URL in the Connect section

Please follow the instructions there, as you'll need to update your FB Connect application's Connect URL to what it suggests above.

Both of these errors individually could cause the errors your seeing. Please update the Connect URL and test again. We'd recommend still leaving the other FB modules disabled just to ensure there isn't a conflict there.
