I know I could probably do this with another component, but I wondered whether I should be able to do it with JFBC.

We do not anticipate offering registration and login to the regular visitors to this site. However, the owners, admins, etc. are all set up on their FB accounts.
The owner would like to have any updates that appear on his wall at FB also show up on the Joomla website for everyone to see.

How should I do that?
Thanks.

JFBConnect doesn't currently have a way to show an individual user's profile feed on the site. It's something we've discussed doing, but it's difficult with Facebook privacy settings and other factors to consider. Facebook also recommends using Facebook "Pages" which are public areas you can send your visitors to and make always-public updates for them. They're also meant to publicize companies, events, or 'things', whereas profiles are not meant to be public areas in general. Pages also have a Like button (instead of having to become 'friends', which is a two way connection).

JFBConnect does support Pages with the JFBCFan module, which uses Facebook's (recommended) Like-Box plugin to show the stream, information about the page, and Like button on your site.

Hope that helps explain the way Facebook wants you to do it, but if you have any questions, just let us know!
