Hi. I followed the configuration guide but not getting all the website updates in FB. Its only showing the "like button" activity. We have purchased this module to get all the activities in FB. Is there any way to integrate this with Alpha User Point as we need the Alpha User point updates to be published in FB.

Thsi is my second post and am not sure why my first post has not been published.
It will be nice if anybody can help me.

Thanks.
Bob

I'm not sure what happened to your first post. That's strange if it's missing, but I don't remember seeing one from you (and we don't delete them).

Anyways, we don't have AUP integraton yet. With the 3.2 release (~1 month away), we're planning on adding additional event triggers that can be used for posting to walls and such, but it's not there yet. Additionally, around the time of that release, we're hoping to have an AUP plugin to take advantage of these features.

I'm not specifically sure what updates you want pushed to FB right now though, can you clarify? We can't automatically push every button, link, or action the user takes to Facebook, so clarifying your goal may help us ensure we have the features your require in the futre.

Thanks!

The release date isn't a fixed thing. We're shooting for March (why we said ~1 month from above), but due to to feature implementation times, testing, and constant changes (though usually minor) from Facebook, we don't try to lock it down to a specific date. Our best guess for 3.2 would be mid March, but we've been a month or so late on our windows before, for full disclosure. We've also been early before, but 3.2 has a lot of features planned for it, so I don't think it will be early, unfortunately.

Hope this helps, and thanks for your patience.

what I was looking to do was introduce a plug in feature for people to check-in to each sobi2 company that is on my website and for it to show up on facebook like the check ins application they are running or foursquare has. If this will be something that will be implemented soon that would be amazing so I could launch my site, it is the final implementation I need before I go to the mobile version

I'm not sure I exactly understand what you're looking for, or how JFBConnect could help you with this. When a user 'checks in', how would this affect JFBConnect? If you can explain that further, it'd help us understand how we can help you.

In all honesty, we do want to add some AUP features to JFBConnect, but I don't think we'll be adding exactly what you're looking for in the first past, just so you know.

ok with foursquare they have a check in feature for each business they have and each time someone checks in to that business it shows up on their facebook news feed, and says something like John just checked in at McDonalds and shows a mini-map of where he checked in at. Groupon has this same feature with the checkins feature facebook has implemented, I believe some blackberrys can do it as well.

The check-ins are completely done by Groupon and Foursquare. Those aren't built into Facebook (though they have their own location stuff now too). Therefore we wouldn't be able to easily add check-ins to 3rd party sites/locations to earn points in AUP. That's just a ton of work, and basically building Foursquare from scratch. We do plan (when we add AUP support) to all gaining points for logging into your site, and some other features, but that would be the extent of it.

If I'm off in what you're looking for, let me know, but I think it's outside the (pretty broad) scope of JFBConnect.

Thanks,
Alex

Ok so I have a programmer working on the chedcin button for the sobi2 customers as we speak and it will post to the Alpha User Point activity wall. When the new version comes out will this allow the activity from the AUP wall to show up on each facebook subscribers news feed? If so this would eliminate one step for my programmer, thanks hope to hear from you soon.
