Hi there,
After having some questions answered by you, I went ahead and purchased JFBconnect.
Installed and it seems to be working (I am using joomla 2.5)

What I need next is to obtain a facebook object in php so I can access the graph api and retrieve inforation on my users (per my permissions), like user profile, likes, friends likes etc. I will also probably need to post on user's wall in the future).
How can I obtain a facebook object?
When I receive the object, I guess authentication will be concluded? do I have to do anything with authentication or will my facebook object have access to user granted information right ahead?

thanks
Zili

Zili,
Our developer documentation can be found on the page below. I just spruced it up a little with some more examples and information. It should have most of your questions answered there, but if you have others, just let us know:
www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/docs/developer-documentation

As for the authentication of the user, that depends on what you're trying to do. If it's for the currently logged in user, JFBConnect takes care of all of that. If you want information about a user that's authenticated your app, but not the current user running the script, you'd need to do a little bit more. We just (as of the 4.1 release) started storing user access tokens so that you can communicate with Facebook about that user even if they're not online. However, we added it mainly for some features we're planning in the 4.2 release, and haven't done much work with the offline functionality. If that's what you're looking for though, we'll help how we can.

Good luck,
Alex
