Canvas Page Questions

Joe,
By default, for the reveal pages, we use a component. To see this yourself, you can add &template=component onto the query string of the article your trying to show to see it on your live site. For example, our demo reveal page uses article ID 33, and the URL is:

www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/index.php...tmpl=component&id=33

We honestly haven't played with Zoo much, so not sure what happens when you use the tmpl parameter in that view, but it does usually strip out a bit of CSS from the 'main' template. Hopefully, playing with this view will help you see better the final result and manipulate the CSS as necessary.

Let us know if you need more help or aren't sure of something, and glad you're liking JFBConnect!

That looks great! Kicks our Reveal page example to the curb We really need to get a designer.. that's why we focus on more 'functional' extensions, instead of ones that require templates!

We don't have a showcase site yet. It's something that's in the early planning stages now, and we're hoping to get something up later this year or early next. I've definitely taken note of your page, as you should be proud, and we'd love to show it off as an example!

When we do, we'll definitely send out a 'call for designs' and get some up. We may start a short-list of some pages in the mean time instead of a larger site (just to get started), and if we do, we'll get yours in there.

Hope everything else with JFBConnect has gone smoothly, and should you need anything else, don't hesitate to contact us. And, finally, please consider leaving a rating and review on the Joomla Extension Directory for JFBConnect, or our support. It's certainly not required, but very appreciated!

Good luck, and let us know any other great things you do with JFBConnect!

Joe,
Don't thank us for the kind words, the page is really good looking. We really aren't designers, and don't have one on staff... so we're always impressed when we see good designs, especially using JFBConnect.

We love hearing from our really old users. JFBConnect was a bit haphazzard in it's early days for multiple reasons (not our main focus, not a good Facebook API to 'connect' with, not a good business or support model, etc). All those things have changed (for the better), and it's always good to hear our early users still using (or coming back to) JFBConnect.

There's definitely a few different ways to do a showcase site, but we've learned in the past to wait a while and 'do it right' instead of just getting something up. The 'quick' methods hang around way longer than they should and push off the 'right' way. Ideally, we'd create a directory or something else with tags and other features. Nothing crazy, but there's enough good directory extensions out there for Joomla that we'd prefer to use that over our forums. We definitely realize the need for it, as it helps provide guidance as to what can be done and is a good sales point for us.. so it will happen.. and hopefully in the next few months. I know that doesn't help you now though.

Anyways, good luck with your site, and definitely let us know if you need anything else,
Alex

Joe,
If you have an example page to show us, that always helps.

However, with that said, you should be able to use the JFBCFan module, or {JFBCFan} tag, to insert the recent posts from you wall onto the page. You can disable the header and faces so pretty much all that shows is the wall posts/stream.

If that's not what you're looking for, or I'm missing something, just let me know!
Alex
