can not login to website using social media buttons

When I go to your page and hit any of the Facebook, Twitter, or Google buttons to log in, I don't get a 500 error. However, I do get a blank white page which usually indicates a PHP error. Could you turn on error reporting and set it to Maximum/Development in Global Configuration, so we can try again? If you see any errors in your Joomla logs, can you copy them here as well?

Another good setting to turn on while we're trying to resolve this is in JFBConnect > Configuration > General for Enable Debugging Mode. This will help display any errors connecting to the social networks.

Thanks

On earlier versions of PHP you may run into this problem.

In the file /home3/winteru9/public_html/components/com_jfbconnect/jfbconnect.php on line 15, try replacingwith
Let me know if that helps resolve the problem.

Glad that worked for you. Keep in mind that if you upgrade JFBConnect in the future, you will likely have to make this change again if you haven't upgraded to a newer version of PHP by that time.

Do you have a link to setting up a channel in JFB Connect?

The documentation for setting up a channel is found here: www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/docs/post...reate-social-channel

Im stuck with authenticating a joomla user with facebook. Im not sure how to accomplish this?

It might be a little out of date or not as specific as it needs to be, as I just changed a lot of Channel setup functionality in the last release and will still be tweaking it. With 6.2.4, here are some specific steps that might help explain how to handle the setup of the channel and having to authenticate the feature.

1. To add a FB page or group, for the Facebook account that you want to be the channel owner, login on the front-end with the Facebook button, not as a Joomla user.
2. Create the channel in the backend and you should be able to select that channel owner from #1.
3. Save the channel.
4. If there were warnings in the channel for permissions that need to be approved, such as manage_pages, publish_actions or user_groups, log out on the front-end and re-log in via the Facebook button with the channel owner.
5. In the backend in the channel, refresh it and hit save. Then follow prompts to select the page/group etc, then select the published button. Then save.
6. Theoretically at this point, after saving, there should be some stream data to test the communication.
7. Then to post, any admin that logs in on the front-end should be able to create the post, even if they are not the channel owner.

To add Twitter or LinkedIn, just change the above steps to log in on the front-end with the Twitter or LinkedIn buttons, respectively.

In addition you can only create a facebook app from a personal facebook page. I want to direct all my social media between my website and business facebook page (facebook.com/wintersetaviation) How do I accomplish this?

Once the channel is created to the Business Facebook Page (facebook.com/wintersetaviation) following the setup steps from above, you will be able to
1. Create posts on your website that will be pushed to the business page - Guide at www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/docs/posting/to-social-networks
2. Load posts from the business page on your website with our SCSocialStream module - Guide at www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/docs/posting/social-streams

This is a newer feature to JFBConnect, so setup for channels is not completely polished yet. Please let me know if you run into problems with any of the above pieces.

Glad you got it working. Let us know if you run into any other issues.
