Vsplash,
Please let me know the URL you're trying to post from. Sorry for the delayed response, we'll get right on this. Was it working previously for you? What isn't working? No login button, an error on connection, etc?

Just so you know, we're not aware of any new issues with Facebook connect that should cause IE8 to not function properly.

Thanks!

Its not working in IE8 from the beginning.

Login button is not working . It is just displaying a text "Login" and it is not clickable in iE8.

Vsplash,
In the 3.0.2 release, there's a JFBConnect System plugin. Can you try enabling this to see if it helps your problem? We haven't made it a 'required' plugin yet, but in the 3.1 release it will be.

The system plugin includes a small tag on your page that helps Facebook parse some of it's tags better and has improved these compatibility issues with IE on sites that have similar problems.

Thanks

Hi, I had this type of problem, only it was intermittent. The LOGIN icon appeared if I logged out of FB and my site, then refreshed my webpage. If my session timed out, or I just logged out of my webpage and NOT FB, the text "Login With Facebook" appeared in place of the icon. Regular logins (Username & Passwd) still worked, but I could not use the JFBCLogin when this happened. Unless I logged out of FB completely, this problem occurred 100% of the time.

When I upgraded to 3.0.2, I used the new Upgrade Method -- i.e. I did not uninstall the JFBConnect component, modules, and plugins. After playing around with the problem trying to determine a cause, I finally uninstalled all parts of the component then reinstalled JFBConnect, including JFBCInvite. Since then, the icon has worked as expected.

Hope that might help someone else.

Thanks for the feedback moosed. We added the upgrade method hesitantly for these types of issues.

Do you know what version you were using before the upgrade? That may help us narrow down any specific circumstances that could have caused this.

I've been upgrading JFBConnect regularly the past few months as new versions become available. The version I used before 3.0.2 was 3.0.0.

I'm also using:
Joomla! 1.5.13
Community Builder 1.2.3
PHP 5.2.9
MySQL 5.0.91
Apache 1.3.41

Aloha!

Thanks Doug, for the system info. We'll try to do some investigation, but we did a lot of 'upgrade' testing from 3.0.0 to 3.0.2 previously. Not sure what could have gone wrong, but there's always something... :)

Also, just so you know, you're Joomla install is a bit out of date. There's a great component called "Update Manager" which will download and install the latest release for you with just a few clicks. There's no super security vulnerabilities in the version you're using, but always good to be as up-to-date as possible. AkeebaBackup is always recommended before upgrading to ensure you don't run into any issues.
