jFBConnect and Jomsocial "My Status"

Answer is no, not yet.

We wanted to get this ability into our JomSocial profile plugin, but it's impossible to do that 'the right way'. Instead, we're planning to add a new JomSocial 'application' plugin in the future which will allow posting of multiple things back to Facebook.. this will be things like status updates, group joinings or posting, events, etc. Once the first 'push' feature is created, the rest should be very simple to do, as JomSocial has a good way to 'hook' into these types of events (anything that goes int the activity stream, actually).. so when we get it going, it should be able to be pretty flexible.

However, it's not available yet, and won't be with the 3.2 release either. We're going to target it as a feature release for after 3.2 though.

Hope that helps explain, and hope it's an ok solution, even though it's not available yet. As always, feedback is welcome. Glad you like the initial pulling of status so far!

Yes, that's definitely planned. The best I can say right now is late April. After the 3.2 release (which is in testing now for release), we'll be focusing on a Joomla 1.6 compatible release. On the side, we'll be working on the JomSocial plugin as well as a few other non-core things, mainly with profile plugins. It is one of our highest priorities, outside of 1.6 compatibility, but I just can't pin-down the timeline right now.

Hope that, sorta, helps.

Yeah, the'll definitely be discreet options so you can enable one and disable the other. We try not to go overboard with options (though 3.2 adds about 1000), but in this case, we agree that more flexibility is good.

Bob,
Nope, not done yet. I apologize for the delay, but the 'other direction' of posting to Facebook hasn't been completed yet. We still have the intent to get a more robust JomSocial application, but unfortunately have been focused on a few other things lately. We recently got the Joomla 1.6 version out and JFBConnect was recently implemented on the Joomla Extension Directory itself, which was huge for us.

Right now, we're focusing on updating the JomSocial plugin with pulling in 'better' status (if you're interested/have feedback, check out this post) as well as adding profile type support. Additionally, we're working on a VirtueMart profile plugin. Once done (late this week/early next), the JomSocial stuff is likely next on our plate.

Hope this helps explain our situation, and sorry for the delays again.
