Hi there!

Must have overlooked something the first time. Just went through the instructions again and got it to work just fine! Login w/fb button now appears as it should on Jomsocial landing page and registration page. ...:)

As for the email notifications: the mailer is set to PHP.

As for redirect to canvas: We made the changes as instructed but the page tab still directs to the condensed page. Should something be changed on the fb side?

Chanda,
Don't think anything should be changed on the fb side. We'll have to do a little investigation and testing to see what we can do to make it work. It's a good idea, actually, so would be nice to have the instructions on hand (and tested). We'll let you know what we find.

Unfortunately, not sure about the emails either. Let's start with the canvas thing and go from there. I should hopefully have an answer for that tomorrow or Friday. If the emails are more critical than the canvas, just let us know!

Thanks for your patience,
Alex

Hi Alex-

Quick question:
I disabled the "comments" feature on certain section & category pages but the "comment" box is still appearing. In the JFBC configuration, I went to Social--> Content Plugin - Comments. I have "View" set to "none" for Category and Section. In the Category Setting and Section Setting areas, I also have the specific categories that I don't want the comment box to appear on highlighted to be excluded. Am I missing something?

Thanks -
Chanda

Chanda,
First, for the redirect to application, we've done some testing and have an update that should work for you.
(Some of this is copied from above so that other users can skip right here):

Canvas Redirection from Page Tab
You'll need to make the following edit to one of our files. Please open the /components/com_jfbconnect/libraries/canvas.php file. Around line 161, you'll see:
else 
        { 
            $tabTemplate = $this->configModel->getSetting('canvas_tab_template'); 
            $this->setTemplate($tabTemplate); 
        }
Change that code to:
else 
        { 
           echo '<html><head></head><body><script type="text/javascript">top.location.href = "https://apps.facebook.com/YOUR_APP_URL";</script></body></html>';
           $app->close();
           $tabTemplate = $this->configModel->getSetting('canvas_tab_template'); 
           $this->setTemplate($tabTemplate); 
        }

As for the Comments now showing, no, I don't have any great suggestions as to why. Can you try disabling the JFBCContent plugin altogether and see if it goes away? If not, then the box isn't from JFBConnect. If it does go away, make sure your exclusion IDs are separated by a comma. Also, please try setting all display values to "None" to see if it goes away.. you can remove the exclusions at that point as well (to eliminate one more possible cause).

Finally, if the box still persists, can you link to a page with it so we can take a look?

Thanks,
Alex

This change to the canvas file is very useful, I am using it now to redirect from my not-so-good-looking-tab to the actual canvas where the website shows without any problems. It could be very handy if added as a feature!

A quick question in mind is, is there a way to add a code somewhere above the website in the canvas? For instance to add the logo and a link back to the Facebook Fan Page?

Thanks!

Abdulrahman,
Glad that helped, and the thanks for the feedback about it working for your!

As for your suggestion about adding code for just the Canvas view.. no, there's no way to currently do that. It's an excellent idea though, so I've taken it down as something to look into. There's a few possible ways it could be done by us. Until then, the only suggestion we'd have is to copy your template and set JFBConnect to show the 'copy' of the template (a setting in the Canvas area of JFBConnect). Then, in that copy, you can assign different modules wherever you want, or update it however you want. That definitely adds another layer of complexity to things though...

Hope that helps, and thanks again for the suggestion!

Finally, if you haven't already, please consider leaving a rating and review on the Joomla Extension Directory for JFBConnect and/or our support. It's certainly not required, but very appreciated:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/social-...ook-integration/7215

Thanks,
Alex

Canvas Redirection from Page Tab is an excellent trick. Thank you.

Glad you like that! We have this thread down as a 'to-do' task for a future release. We should be able to easily add a "Redirect to Canvas" setting in the Page Tab area in a future version. Until then though, if you upgrade, please make sure you re-do the change above to keep the redirection intact.

Thanks!
Alex
