Hi there,
I bought JFBConnect for Joomla 1.6 today and I really like it. Very good work. :)
But I have one problem. I want to have the comment box and the like button automatically in articles marked as "featured" on my frontpage. I can only get them there if I put the "JFBComments" and "JFBCLike" tags into my article, but I want them there without using these tags in every article.
Is that possible?

I hope my english is understandable. :D

Your English is fine, no worries.

To have the Like button and Comment Box show up in your front page/featured articles, you'll want to make sure that the JFBConnect Content plugin is enabled (it's installed with JFBConnect). In the JFBConnect administration area, click the Social configuration link. Then, click on the Content Plugin - Like and Content Plugin - Comments tabs and set "Show in Frontpage View:" to Show. If you don't want it to show anywhere else, set the other settings to "Hide" for category and article views.

There's more parameters in that section that you may want to configure, but if you have any questions, just let us know!

Hi,
all plugins are enabled and I have set everything on show in administration area. I can see the comment box and the like button in every article except of the featured articles on the frontpage.

We cannot reproduce this issue on our test sites. Can you verify that you are using the "Featured Articles" menu type for your home page menu item? If you are, can you please post or PM a link to your site so we can see what's happening?

I tried to reproduce this error too on a test page without success.
It seems that it is an error on our homepage, but I don't know what it could be.

Our homepage: www.gssd-clan.de

You'll see the comment box and the like button on frontpage because we added the tags manually to each article. In the content area we don't want to have the comment box, but the like button, this works.
Only the frontpage worries me.

Could you try temporarily turning off any plugins that are enabled that might be modifying the articles? For instance, it looks like yvbbcode and yvsmiley are enabled and these both replace text on the page. This could break the insertion of text into the articles.

yvbbcode and ybsmileys were not the problem, but another plugin calld mavikThumbnails. After disabling this plugin everything works.

Thank you for the very great support, I really like your component :)

Thanks for reporting back on the problem plugin. We actually just diagnosed another site with that plugin causing some problems too. If you still want the features of it, we noticed that it worked if the ordering was setup differently.. basically, the plugin for JFBConnect had to be ordered before it, and things seemed to work. You may want to try different combinations of ordering if you want to use both..can't guarantee it, but one may work for you :)

Hope this all helps, and thanks for your compliments on JFBConnect. It's definitely grown over the last few years. Should you have the time or interest, please consider leaving a rating and review on the Joomla Extension Directory. It's certainly not required, but very appreciated:

Best of luck to you, and your site!
