Hello,
I have the JFBConnect Requests installed and I believe working properly. I sent out one test and it worked. What's up the Request ID? I set it at "001", is that bad? It does not auto increment or anything. What is the function of this? Is it to track multiple instances of the Request feature?
Thanks,

Guerilla,
What do you mean that you set it at 001? What exactly did you set? We don't have any way to set the request Id. If you're using the easy-tag like {JFBCRequest request_id=001}, that's incorrect. The id there should be the ID of the Request you created in the admin area of JFBConnect.

If you're talking about the Request ID column when you view the requests that have been sent, the long string there is the Request ID that Facebook has assigned the request. Again, that shouldn't be touched.

Let me know what you mean specifically, and I'll explain more as I can.

Thanks,
Alex

I've figured it out. It was in the Requests Module, which I was erroneously trying to configure before configuring anything else. I realize now you can have multiple request titles with unique IDs and the you have to tell what ID of the request you actually want to display. I am instead using the embed tags as they are more easily placed where I want them. Thanks for the prompt reply though!

No problem for the support, it's what we do. Glad you found what you were looking for though, and should you need anything else, just let us know.

Finally, after you've used JFBConnect a bit, please consider leaving a rating and review for it on the Joomla Extension Directory. It's certainly not required, but very appreciated:

Thanks, and good luck,
Alex

Is there a way to configure the limit? I have 5k facebook friends and it will only let me send 50 invites/requests at a time.

The limit is set by Facebook itself, and it's determined by a ton of factors. Mainly, the application that is trying to send them, the user that is sending them, how many have been sent from each, how well received they are, etc. It's all done to prevent spammy apps (or users) from abusing the system.

50 is the default number, from what we know, and that's actually the default for the user per day. So, if you send 50 from your app, you'd likely be unable to send any from other apps that day, unless that app has been granted looser restrictions by Facebook (which is not common from what we've seen).

Hope that explains. There's nothing we can do about the limits. While you may have thousands of friends you would want to invite to your site (for obvious promotion), most users likely won't be adversely affected by the 50 request limit.

Im using Request 4.1.2. The module shows the title and the intro text I set. What are we supposed to see in the module a button or form? Its not showing anything.

Ivan,
I had the same problem, but it was because I had not configured my component. Once I configured the component properly everything in the module should up fine for me.

I think I have the component configured. Everything is enabled, plugins etc. I noticed in the module there is an option for Request ID? What did you do there?

What Social Extensions do you need enabled? I have Content Plugin and JFBRequest

The Request ID is the ID of the Request you created in the administrator area of JFBConnect (in the Requests Configuration area). You create the request there, and then insert it onto the page using that request_id.

The content plugin is not required for Requests, just the main JFBConnect component and the JFBCSystem plugin.

Hope that helps, but if not, let us know!
