Right now I am having a difficult time. I am running JomSocial 2.4 on-top of Joomla 2.5. I have a drop-down login menu in my website and I can't seem to integrate the SClogin to this.

On-top of that, I'm not seeing any facebook modules anywhere (am I supposed to place them in a position?) I did install everything and set my FB API and secret key, but Jomsocial is not showing anything FB related at all. Can I pay you guys to configure this for me? I'm just bleh... confused. All of the plugins are enabled, but nothing FB related is showing at all. I thought this was supposed to be a pretty easy installation - and while it does seem like that when configuring it - right now I can't say it's so easy.

imaginemonkey,
Sorry about the confusion. JFBConnect definitely has a lot of pieces to it, and we're working on the next release to try to take a little of the initial 'bite' out of it. Unfortunately, we don't offer configuration services currently.

For the social modules in general, you have to place them in a module position. They work just like any other Joomla modules and need to be told where to display, as well as configuring some parameters in them.

For JomSocial, we don't automatically add the "Login With Facebook" button to their page. It's something we're hoping to have in an upcoming release, but until then, you need to make a simple modification to their template to display the button. You can read more information about integration with JomSocial at the link below:
www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/docs/thir...ration-for-jomsocial

Finally, for the drop-down menu, I'm not sure what you mean. The SCLogin module is a full module with a login form and other stuff. It can't show in a menu, but you can link to a page that you've configured it to display on. If you need more information about this, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thank you for your reply. How do I unsinstall this component? I am going to keep it, I am just trying to upgrade Jomsocial 2.4 to Jomsocial 2.6. Or, can I just keep it installed without while upgrading Jomsocial without having to uninstall it? When I tried uninstalling it, I received a query of error strings and had to upload a backup of my entire website. It said something about not being able to connect to the zend folder (Jomsocial) - maybe because I didn't disable or uninstall the smaller plugins before trying to uninstall the plugins which were tied to jomsocial? Because, what I am worried about now is... Jomsocial says to uninstall the older component and then reinstall the new version of Jomsocial. Yet, when I tried to uninstall the JBCConnect component, my website showed a bunch of error strings. So... which do I uninstall first (Jomsocial or JFBC?)

Not sure. Anyways... my main goals are to install JomSocial 2.6 (beta - or maybe wait until the slated release on Monday) - and then get this component to integrate my members Jomsocial accounts to their FB accounts so when they post something on my website it will post to their FB wall. I am using a YooTheme template which has this login module position tied to that menu to create a dropdown effect (which I was trying to get the SClogin to do).

Second question, is there any way I can pay you guys a fee to configure this for me? This is the website I am speaking of: www.ketoville.com

As you can see there is a login module at the top menu - which I would like to show the Connect FB button. I am also using the Tigra template framework to connect my website template to the tigra joomla template (which is why my Jomsocial k'munnity page has that slideshow login area). I'm sure it wouldn't be easy to add a custom FB login in that slider area.

Sorry for being a pain, I just wanted to get this to work, and am willing to pay a fee for some professionals who are familiar with this framework to get it working for me. I don't want to break my website like I have once already. Thank you Alex!

To uninstall, you should just be able to uninstall like a normal component in the Install/Uninstall area. We don't use the Zend framework (JomSocial does), so not sure why when you uninstall JFBConnect you'd see that error.. I don't think it's caused by JFBConnect. Uninstalling does not remove our database tables, so your configuration and any connected users would remain if you reinstall later.

However, to effectively disable JFBConnect, you can simply disable the JFBConnect Authentication, Content, System and User plugins and the SCLogin module. That should stop JFBConnect from loading on any of your pages.

For adding the Login button to that menu module, you'd need to find the template file for that login module. Once you find it, you simply need to add the text {JFBCLogin} to it and that will add the "Login With Facebook" button into it. If you contact YouTheme (or possibly in their documentation), they should be able to easily help you find the template file for that.

Unfortunately though, we aren't staffed for offering custom development or configuration services, so we can't get in to do all the work. However, we offer excellent support in the forums and will answer whatever we can to point you in the right direction and get you going.

Hope that explains and helps, but should you need anything else, just let us know!
Alex
