Hi Alex
me again...
I'm trying to test a reveal page.
I have set up my application on facebook as the documentation. Tested and added a reveal article which views correctly: payontime.co.uk/jfbconnect/index.php?opt...mpl=component&id=164

and set up the page tab with a page tab name: Payontime
Page tab URL: payontime.co.uk/original-late-payment-st...-interest-calculator
Secure page tab url: payontime.co.uk/original-late-payment-st...-interest-calculator
( I have also tried non sef urls's here)

Under the page tab/canvas link in JFB connect I added the reveal article ID as above.

The Page tab configuration status reports all is well so I click on 'View your application page' and a new window pops up saying 'you are being directed to the payontime web app' I Click on 'go to app' and although a facebook url comes up, it quickly redirects just to my websites home page: payontime.co.uk

Another configuration problem on my part?

Thanks

David J

David,
No, that's a change in Facebook. If you're application was created recently, it no longer has an Application Page. Facebook removed those for all new apps, and is deleting ones from old apps as of February 1st.

In the JFBConnect 4.1 release (due out tomorrow) that link will be fixed for the new method of adding an App to a Page. Until then though, you can hand-craft your own link as follows:

www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=X...uk.com&display=popup

You'll need to replace XXXX with your Application ID above, but that should let you select the Page to add your app too and go from there.

Hope that helps,
Alex

Thanks once again Alex. I will wait for version 4.1 which looks like it will have some great new features. it must be hard keeping up with the multiple changes that facebook are implementing all of the time. They are not as bad as Google though!

David,
We just posted the 4.1 release. Feel free to check it out and let us know how it goes! The upgrade instruction guide can be found below:
www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/docs/upgrade-guide

As for keeping up with changes, it's a constant endeavor to add new features when it's best but always keeping the core set of functionality intact and easy to use. JFBConnect has a lot of features to it, but we try to shield or automate what we can so it's not (too) overwhelming.. though we know it still can be. As for Google, they're similar to how Facebook was a few years ago. Facebook used to break things continuously without warning. It's gotten much, much better since then and made our lives much less stressful :)

Anyways, best of luck to you and your site, and should need anything else, you know where to find us.

Finally, please consider leaving a rating and review on the Joomla Extension Directory for JFBConnect, or our support. It's certainly not required, but very appreciated!

Thanks,
Alex
