Hi everybody!

I've just installed JFBConnect on my Joomla-site and hooked it up to a Facebook app as described in the manual. Now I'd like to do two specific things and just cannot figure out how to do them ...

1) I would a simple "Like" button on my frontpage, showing some of the faces of your friends who already "like" it. I've managed to get this to work but right now, it's a specific like for the frontpage article. What I would like to "like" instead is an already existing fan page for my site. How do I link these two?

2) Is it possible to synchronise the blog on my site (=specific category) so new articles automatically show up on my Facebook fan page AND so it's possible to comment the articles on Facebook and the Joomla site at the same time?

I'd appreciate any help / input here :-) .

All the best from

Ollie

1) It sounds like you want JFBCFan, which lets you specify a Fan Page ID and should do exactly what you're looking for. Like's are for pages of your site and are good so users can see what pages are popular when they visit them.

2) There isn't a way to do that, yet, with JFBConnect. It's on our task list, and should be out in the first few months of next year. Some options are below, but we've never used these, just so you know. Hope these help get you in the right direction:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/social-...l-auto-publish/10509
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/social-...l-auto-publish/10776

The whole social auto publish category may be a good look:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/social-...social-auto-publish/

Hope this helps, and good luck!
