searched for the answer and thought something was close but didnt understand it well enough. I would like the facebook group pages I admin to be able to click on my site link and use jfbconnect to gain access, but only the ones in the group pages i admin, and no one else on facebook. So if they are not a part of my fb group(s), they can not get onto my site, basically use the group(s) member list as a permission list for access.

That's not possible with JFBConnect, and I'm honestly not sure if it's easily possible using Facebook's API's to check if a user is a member of the group. Facebook really limits what can be done with their Groups and it's not an area where they've added new tools to interact with them. In fact, over the last few years, they've actually removed some of the features to interface a website to a group, which is why we don't have any real support for groups in JFBConnect.

The best I can recommend is using Joomla's user-activation features so that you can individually approve members as they sign up. It won't let them in automatically, but at least will let you be selective and check the user on the group before allowing them in.

Hope that helps,
Alex

Thanks Alex. I know, fb has removed some great features. that was why i wanted a site, to have some of them for the members of the groups I admin. I can only hope that fb returns these features. Not the answer I was hoping for but thanks for the quick response.
