Topic-icon JFBConnect + Joomla 1.5 -> Post to Facebook Group?

Active Subscriptions:

None
Hi,

Please have a look at www.PakistanRC.com. I basically use JomSocial 2.2 (for community), Kunena 1.6.3 (for forums), DocMan (for downloadables) & Announces component for classified ads.

I would like to have a feature to automatically post Kunena & JomSocial posts / activity to Facebook Group -> Pakistan RC (www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_369905551450) which I administer as well. Kunena is on my priority list, then JomSocial and later if also possible then DocMan & Announces as well.

Do you think it's possible via JFBConnect ? Anyway I can achieve it ?

Note: I know it's possible to post to "Facebook Pages", but, I want to post to facebook Group.

any help would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Babar

I'm not sure about Groups, in all honesty. Lately, just so you know, Facebook's been hobbling groups quite a bit to push user's toward their Pages. Unless you really fit their definition of Group, which is a small amount of user's discussing a very specific topic and -not- a business, you may want to move to a Page. I have no knowledge of anything like that happening, but like I said, it seems like that's where things are heading.

I'll try to look into posting to groups more, but haven't seen any way to do it yet (doesn't mean it's not possible though).

Thanks Alex for your honest reply. Yes I have felt the same vibes from facebook around pages Vs groups. I kind of have the same long term plan to move to the Page in about 8-12 months but till that time, I am seriously looking into having this functionality even if I have to pay for it specially. For one important reason, that I now have a very active & lively facebook group with 3000+ members very keenly participating in it around a single core concept / theme of the group i.e. RC Hobby in Pakistan. I would want to smoothly transfer them to www.PakistanRC.com over next 8-12 months via a) asking to do so b) giving incentives c) providing enough value add in website which facebook group can not etc. etc.

For instance, if you or someone you know can develop this for me I am willing to pay for the services :)

Thankyou for looking into this.

Babar
