Multiple Issues

Alan,
I'll try to take each of your issues one-by-one, but if I miss something, let me know:
* Powered By Link - There are multiple options for the Powered By Link. The one in the main component is for the link that shows up on the Login/Register page. If you're seeing it in a module, you'll need to change that in that modules parameters.
* Unused fields in the database - We do routinely clean out or update unused fields. In the 3.4 release, the API Key setting was removed from JFBConnect, but we leave some deprecated fields in intentionally for a release or two, just in case a user runs into issues and wants to downgrade. In the 4.0 release, the API Key row will be removed on upgrading.
* As for your main issue of logging in/out and general usage, looking at your page, your HTML is not properly formatted. Specifically, it goes:
HTML Opening
Head Opening
Body Opening - Wrong
Head Closing - Wrong
Body Closing
HTML Closing

The Head and Body are messed up. The Head should open, have all it's contents, and close before the body tag opens. I can't guarantee that that will fix everything, but it's definitely the starting point. Another thing to test is simply try with Rhuk_milkyway, or another proven template, to see if it works there.

As for SEF, I'm not sure what extension you're using, but I'd recommend having it 'Skip' JFBConnect URLs. We only have 1 real URL (for the Login/Register page). The remainder are for communication back and forth between Facebook and don't need to be search-engine friendly. While not required, it can resolve some problems by not trying to mess with our URLs. We work fine with Joomla standard SEF though.

Finally, I'm not sure what the TableLog error is. That's certainly not defined by JFBConnect, and I don't believe we have any logging in our release packages, so that shouldn't be thrown by us. It could however easily be thrown by another extension that's also confused by the out-of-order HTML described above.

Hope that helps, but let us know if you continue running into issues.

Thanks,
Alex

For the powered by link, if you're seeing it in the JFBCLogin module, you'll want to set the "Show Powered By Link" setting in the JFBCLogin module. It's a separate setting in there.

We're shooting to have 4.0 out at the end of this month or early next month. It will include an update to Facebook's authentication mechanism that will be required as of October 1st. We intended to get it in this last release, but it was still a bit buggy on their end. It's looking more solid now, and early next month will give us a month to get the word out to our users to upgrade.

For the HTML issues, I pointed out what's wrong because I assumed that if you're creating your own template, you knew the basic structure of an HTML document. I'd honestly recommend that you look for a more off the shelf template instead of creating your own, as these are issues that will cause you other problems in the future and it's not really our place to diagnose template creation issues. We do so where we can though, and I just looked at your page, and the ordering of the html, head, and body elements now looks correct. I'm not sure about the main doctype element you present, as that's page specific depending on HTML you plan to create as well as browsers you're trying to target.

Regarding SEF, each SEF extension is different. Most have the ability to 'skip' SEF generation for certain URLs. I don't know how to do this in every SEF extension, but if you let me know what you're using, if we know how, we'll gladly tell you the steps to skip specific extensions. That may also be something to ask the developer of the SEF extension you're using.

Hope the above at least answers some of the questions.

As for looking further into the problem, if you want to provide super admin access, we'll gladly look at the configuration of JFBConnect. However, we generally won't modify the configuration of Joomla or other extensions, as that may cause inadvertant consequences. Generally, the idea is that you know your site and configuration better than us and we don't want to mess it up. Joomla 1.6/1.7's access level controls can be especially tricky, and that seems to be where the issue is coming in, since certain user's can't see certain items. I'd recommend you make sure the user levels are setup properly, but again, without knowing your site, configuration, or intended setup, it's impossible for me to tell you exactly how to do it.

Best of luck, and keep us posted,
Alex

Alan,
Great to hear! We love when progress is happening!

I've never used JoomlaWatch, actually just had to look up what it does. While it's not a Joomla specific thing, we use Woopra here for real-time stats, and it's awesome. May want to look into it (free for up to 30k pageviews per month, I think)

For the Joomla SEF, don't worry about skipping it. We work fine with Joomla SEF. If you're still having issues, it's not related to SEF.. so we can rule that out (whew). The skip is only for 'other' extensions as it's tough to test all of them, but we definitely test with Joomla SEF (and a few other big ones).

Glad to hear you found the Powered By parameter in JFBCLogin.

For the forced Like (Reveal Page), that only works with Facebook Pages, not with pages on your site. The 'general' things you want to do are:
* Create a Joomla article that explains why the user should Like your FB Page.
* The article should have no links in it (otherwise, the user will be able to click them and navigate away from the Reveal Page)
* Once saved, note the ID of the article
* In the Page Tab / Canvas area, set the Reveal Page Article ID to the ID above.
* Then, make sure your Application configuration is setup for Page Tab integration by specifying your site's URL. Alternatively, if you don't want to show the home page in your Page tab, a specific page of your site you want for users who have Liked the FB Page.

Once done, when shown in Facebook, JFBConnect will check if the user has liked the page. If not, they'll see the reveal page. If so, they'll see the Page Tab URL you configured in the Facebook Application.

Again, those are general guidelines. For more information, see the full configuration guide:

Hope that helps, but, as always, if you need anything else, just let us know!
