Hi,

I am looking for information how to integrate JFBC Invite with JomSocial 2.0.5 ? I want whenever a user clicks on "invite friends" in JomSocial then he uses JFBC Invite (facebook invite api)

Is it possible ?

Regards,
Le0Heart

To do that, you'd have to modify the JomSocial template to change the default link to go from JomSocial's invite page to a page you create with the JFBCInvite module.

To set up the JFBCInvite module on it's own page, you'd want to make a content article "Invite Your Friends". Then, you can put a little text in there explaining how or why they should invite their friends. Create a menu item (Article view) that displays this article. Finally, create an instance of the JFBCInvite module and set it to display on this menu item in a position that's in the main content area of your site.

Once that's setup, you'll need to determine how to change the link in JomSocial. I don't know how to do it off-hand, but can probably help you find it if you need. You may just like having it setup with it's own menu item (as described above) outside of JomSocial.

Hope this helps get you started!

Alzander,

thanks for your detailed and a quality reply. I will do as you suggest to integrate both. I'll go further to change template as well just to make it more easier & standard across the website.

I'll post the changes later once I complete this so others can benefit.

Thanks again for a wonderful support.
Regards,
Le0Heart

Wonderful! Glad we could help, and we'd love to see what you come up with. We're planning to create specific 'integration guides' for JomSocial, Community Builder, and a few other scenarios with JFBConnect. That will be around when 3.2 is released in a few weeks. If you post your changes, we may throw them into the guide to help others.

Good luck, and let us know if you have any other questions or feedback!
