Hello,
I was able to get the software to work, however the form chops off text and does not fully display the send button.
The form view is full and the number of rows is 4. I also put it to automatically re-size, however, the form is really not showing all the texte
inside...

The automatic resizing is currently disabled. Can you re-enable it, and we'll try to get you a solution soon which will likely involve some minor changes to your CSS.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,
I have enabled automatic resizing. It was enabled before and I decided to try many settings to see if the issue will be fixed.
Also, the same problem happens here: monburkina.com - mains page
Thanks

Not sure if something changed with Facebook, but it looks like our detection might need to be changed. Can you try changing the 'rows' to display to 3 (or even 2) and see if the resizing works?

We'll investigate more on our end if there's a new fix that needs to be added, but I believe the above setting change may get you past the current issue temporarily.

Let me know how that goes, and thanks for your patience,
Alex

Hello,
Its really weird. On my site, I only see 3 or 4 as the number of rows options. I selected 3 to no avail. Also, after I select the people to invite the screen is not resized at all - its almost cut in half.
Thanks

Really not sure about the resizing. We'll be investigating further on our end. However, for your site, since you have free space on the right, you should be able to easily make a minor code change and fix the width properly right now. Simply open the /modules/mod_jfbcinvite/tmpl/default.php file. At line 22, you'll see a setting for "closedwidth = 740". Change that number to 774.

That should fix you right up, but if not, let us know!

Hello,
That did not work. Once, I select the people to invite and click on invite, the windows is frozen and cut in half or less.....Could that be javascript related?
Thanks

It's a combination of a few issues. I'm not seeing the change I mentioned above for the closedwidth change to 774. It's still looking like it's at 740. Can you clear your Joomla cache (or disable it altogether), and see if that helps?

An other option that will likely fix it is in the same default.php file mentioned above, at line 40, you'll see a long div statement. In there is "overflow:hidden". Change that to "overflow:visible".

Hope that helps, but if not, we'll get you going soon!

Hi Alex,
It works now, but with the third one in default.php set to overflow:hidden.
I am trying to translate all strings about the Inivte module into French but I can't find them:

They are:
Send "mysite" Invitation button when user is first logged in with facebook
Find friends - Same page,
Filter friends, All
Add up to 35 of your friends by clicking on their pictures below.
Find all names
Skip this step
You have a 'mysite.com' invitation
Add personal message
Send - Cancel
I can't find these stings in the module nor language file.
Thanks

The Invite widget is rendered by Facebook directly. Most of their widgets automatically translate themselves according to the language we specify when loading the Facebook Javascript library. We've never investigated this before, but it looks like the Invite widget doesn't auto translate. I'll look into if there's a way to do that, but there are no language strings you can specify for it.

We're working on the replacement for the Invite module right now, and that does do auto-translation. It should be out later this year, and while it will be different than what we do now, it will be an improvement in many ways.

Sorry for the trouble. We'll let you know what we find, if it's possible at all.
