JFBConnect is currently not compatible with 1.6. We're working JFBConnect v3.2 right now (which will be 1.5 compatible only) for release later this month. Once that's complete, we're planning to make a 1.6 version of JFBConnect. Hopefully that will be quick, and we're shooting for that release in early April (or shortly thereafter).

Hope that helps explain our timeline.

Thanks!

We'll be releasing the 3.2 version of JFBConnect next week, which will be for 1.5 only. After that, we'll be working on a feature comprable release to be available in late April.

We're currently at the Joomla Day New England, and the overwhelming consensus right now is to not move to Joomla 1.6 unless you need the new features available for it. We agree with this conclusion. We'll have a release out for 1.6 soon, but even then, we'll be recommending to stick with Joomla 1.5 as security and bug fix releases are created for 1.6, or possibly, even until Joomla 1.7 is released in July.

Hope that helps, and good luck.

Just to add to the 1.6 chorus — we have 7 new website projects over the next 6 weeks. Of that 5 have insisted on Joomla 1.6 simply for the improved ACL as they need several graduated levels of users - guests, future students, current and alumni. The two clients that haven't requested 1.6, already have a vested set of Joomla 1.5 websites…

Two of the new sites are large education organisations who both want a 1.6 Facebook integrated system and JFBC is probably the best fit for both given that one wants to use JomSocial and the other wants to use CB… ( yay! I get to learn two different systems - that won't be at all confusing… ).

Cheers

Craig,
No, that doesn't sound confusing at all :) We're releasing version 3.2 tomorrow, which has a ton of new features, but is only available for 1.5. We definitely appreciate the desire for 1.6, and after this release is out, will be focused on a feature-comparable release of JFBConnect for Joomla 1.6. We're shooting for the end of this month to have it out, but don't have any guarantees on that. It will definitely be out in May if we can't make it this month.

Thanks again for your feedback, we love to hear it.. even if we can't meet your request... yet :)

Alex

hi.. if im not mistaken, there is no FB "SHARE" button right? because i notice there is "LIKE" button, but no "SHARE" button.. before i bought JFBC, i bought Joomlart FB like, FB share etc etc.. so i am depending on their FB LIKE & FB SHARE in my articles and below the articles, i am depending on your JFBC comment box together with the "LIKE" button, but why there is no "SHARE" button? because i tought of wanna get rid of Joomlart FB buttons and just use yours..

another thing i notice, previously in the 3.1 there is "LIKE" button displaying on top of every category or section but now after install this new 3.2, the "LIKE" button is displaying in articles but not showing in their CATEGORY.. i already made it to "show" in the proper category but not showing.. take a look here:-

www.defenderofsunnah.com/quraan/the-noble-quraan

previously, in this CATEGORY, the "LIKE" button showed up above the BOX IMAGE on the upper left side, below the "THE NOBLE QUR'AAN" title.. but now its not showing.. is there anything missing?

The Share button has been deprecated by Facebook. They've rolled it's functionality into the Like button, and they no longer recommend using it.

The combination of the Like button and the Open Graph tags allows you to have more functionality than the old Share button. That's because you (the admin) can select the image, text and other information (using Open Graph) to describe the page to Facebook instead of letting the user. The user is still able to make a comment about the page, just as with the share button, that will show in the users wall.

Please make sure in the Social tab that "Show in Category View:" is set to Yes for the Like button. Also, make sure your category is selected in the Filters area below. If that's setup correctly, let us know, and we'll get a fix out soon.

Thanks

Thank you for the explanation.. now i understood.. but i notice, when i click "LIKE" on my web, previously in 3.1 it will automatically post it in my FB wall but now when i click "LIKE", it is not posting in my FB wall.. and i have tried under the:-

SOCIAL TAB > LIKE BUTTON > Show in Category View > YES = not showing at all
SOCIAL TAB > COMMENT BUTTON > Show in Category View > YES = not showing at all

in the Filters area below, i select "ALL" but still it is not showing.. then i purposely choose in "SELECTED" categories, still not showing.. for the "FRONTPAGE" yes it is showing but if the "CATEGORY" then it is not showing.. maybe there is something missing.. another thing, could u explain a little to me about the OPEN GRAPH because i have read the instructions but dont know what to do.. in the "Open Graph" tab, i select it as "ENABLED" and then i just let it empty.. "DEFAULTS" is empty.. shall i leave it empty or do we need to include something in there? thank you for your time..

===============
UPDATE

here i try to "LIKE" the article in website recently and it is showing in FB.. but there is a slight change.. alot of my articles, their titles is very long and we knew in FB there is certain amount of words allowed to display the title.. here is what i meant:-

previously, when i post something in FB, it will only show the TITLE OF THE ARTICLE:-
Surah Al-Kawthar - (A River In Paradise) - [Makkee]

but now, it is including the whole website name:-
DefenderOfSunnah Research Center | Surah Al-Kawthar - (A River In Paradise) - [Makkee]

so if there is any articles with long TITLE'S, then the "DefenderOfSunnah Research Center" will take most of the space.. does this have something to do with JFBC or is it something else.
