Is there any plans to integrate a status update feature which can be used with Virtuemart.
I'm guessing anything for this would be classed as a "hack" however I would be quite keen to implement a feature whereby once a user has placed an order on the site, that there is either a status update automatically posted, or alternatively, just a button saying "Share this on Facebook"
We sell tickets for events through our website, and I would be quite keen to add extra marketing by beaing able to stare users purchasing through their facebook feeds.

We don't have plans right now to integrate with Virtuemart, but if you have a developer who can add a few lines of code to your site, posting a message to a user's wall is pretty simple. In the future, we're going to be working on a tag that you can attach to buttons (like 'checkout') that will pop-up a "Post to Wall" box which can be filled in with some data. It's a ways off, but we want to make it much easier to get posts out to your users from your site. Our next big goals with JFBConnect are just this type of integration for better feedback between Facebook and your site.

For information on how to post now, see the snippet "How do I post to a user's wall from other components?"

Hope this helps, and we hope to make this process even easier in the future!
