Hi again Alex,

I am facing a strange issue I cannot resolve. If you go to www.zegenie.com, you will notice the FB login button at the top, and the FB like on the bottom left.

These buttons / elements show sporadic behavior on ie7 and ie8 (but not on any of the good browsers :) , webkit and mozilla). Sometimes they appear, sometimes not. This is likely something faced before.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for a great extension.

My guess, from a quick check, is that you don't have the JFBConnect - System plugin enabled. This plugin was added right as 3.0.2 was released and has a minor fix for IE browsers on some sites and configurations. It should help in your case.

We don't have a check for this plugin on the JFBConnect Overview page, but we'll be adding one to the 3.1 release.

Hope this helps, and sorry for the inconvenience. Of course, if it doesn't or you need anything else, let us know!

Thanks Alex for your prompt help, that solved the login issue indeed.

I am having another strange issue (sorry to be a pain): In ie8 and all webkit and moz browsers, the like is on the bottom left, but on ie7 (ie8 compatibility view), it's on the right. I can see float:right within the iframe, but that is not accessible to me. How do your other customers solve this (i.e. left align in ie7 and ie6).

No worries. That's what we're here for. The reviews we get support are the best feedback we can get, and we don't like to let our subscribers down.

I'm seeing the float:right, but it's not in the iFrame. If you look at the source code, you'll see:
<div style="float:right; z-index: 100;">
<fb:like....

That float:right is the cause of IE floating to the right. Not the iFrame that gets injected inside the <fb.. tag. I honestly don't know where that's coming from, and I don't believe it's from our module at all. If you need help getting to the bottom of it, let me know, but not sure how much I'll be able to help.

Thanks. Found the offending code.
Live 25 of mod_jfbclike/tmpl/default.php
removed 'float:right' from the div styles and all is well
Of course, I don't like doing this as it will get overridden in your next release. It would have easier if it was in the css :)

Great support - justifies creating an account on extensions.joomla just for that ;)
Talk to you soon

No problem. Glad we could help. Our module doesn't have the float:right in there by default, so that change won't be overridden when you upgrade. We do have a hard-coded style that may cause problems (and is possibly why you, or some other dev there, updated it to float:right).

We're always trying to improve our styling code and moving it to CSS files... or at least putting divs around everything for our users to easily style themselves. For example, in that module, there's an id of "jfbclike" surrounding the whole output that could be used for styles.

Additionally, we always recommend template overrides instead of modifying the files directly. This helps prevent losing changes during upgrades. For more information, see:
www.sourcecoast.com/extensions/troublesh...s#template-overrides

Anyways, good luck. As for creating an account on the JED, that's not required to find or download extensions from us. That's only required to vote or post reviews for extensions.. which you're welcome to do now that you have an account :)
