in Components -> JFBConnect -> Profiles, I do not see a field to link the facebook profile with the facebook icon in the kunena profile.

How do I set this up?

Also, the user avatar displays a question mark on my site until I click on the avatar and refresh. Why is that?

Hoi,
Sorry for the delayed response on this..

For the field link, you'll want to use the "User - Profile Link" field in the drop down. That will import a link to the user's Facebook profile into the field you want to use. If you don't see the field at all, can you let us know what 'type' of field it is in Kunena? We currently only import into text type fields.

For the avatars, we've never heard of that issue. When you have to click on them, is that in the admin area or the front end? When you click on it, are you 'approving' it or moderating it in some way? Please let us know a little more about the steps you need to take so we can understand more and look into it further.

Thanks,
Alex

the "type" of field I need in Kunena is a facebook profile link field. I see Twitter, ICQ, AIM, Skype, etc fields available within Components -> JFBConnect -> Profiles
but I do not see the most important one of all: Facebook. I just want to link the facebook profile link to where the facebook icon is on the kunena profile.

The avatar issue I am dealing with is in the frontend. I am not moderating anything. When I see where my user avatar is supposed to be, there is a question mark image. Then I click on my user avatar, which then goes to the kunena profile page, then click back, only then it displays the FB profile image as the avatar.

here is a better walkthrough of the issue with the avatar:
I go to my site, then login in. Go to one of my reviews and see this:
img.photobucket.com/albums/v51/hoisauce/questionmark.jpg
then I click on the question mark avatar, which goes to my kunena profile.
Then I click back to the previous page.
Now only then the avatar displays correctly.

Hoi,
Thanks for the info on what happens. I didn't realize the jReviews connection. It sounds like Kunena is not auto-generating the different thumbnail images like it should during registration, but then it is doing it when you visit the user's profile.

Can you let me know what version of Kunena you're using, and we can look into it further?

Thanks,
Alex

I am using Kunena 1.72, the latest version.
It does this even when the avatar is for sure loaded into the Kunena profile. Maybe it is a Jreview issue?

Also, any word on how to field the facebook profile link in Kunena? Like I said, there is an option for AIM, Skype, ICQ, Twitter, etc. but none for facebook.

Thanks

Hoi,
We're looking into the answers for both the image and the best way to get the links to show up. We will hopefully have you an answer this weekend.

Thanks for your patience,
Alex

Hoi,
Thanks again for your patience. We've been unable to recreate the avatar issue. When we update the user's avatar image in Kunena, we specifically delete that user's thumbnail folders, which will force Kunena to regenerate those thumbnails whenever they are requested. There's no way we know of to force the generation of thumbnails, because different areas of Kunena call for different (configurable) sizes. Therefore, the thumbnail is only generated when it's needed (for speed) and for the appropriate size (to prevent wasted processing for thumbnails that won't be used).

If this is only happening in jReviews, and not when you view a user's actual Kunena profile, I'd have to guess that jReviews is simply not requesting the thumbnail properly. They may need to update how they are fetching the thumbnail in a way that it instructs Kunena to generate it if it doesn't already exist.

Finally, regarding the Facebook profile URL, that looks to be a new addition to Kunena's profile. Not sure what version they added that field, but you can easily add it to display by making the following change. In the /plugins/jfbcprofiles/kunena/kunena.php file, towards the bottom around line 203, you'll see a function getProfileFields(). In there, after the "location"=> 'Location', setting, update it so it looks like:
"location" => 'Location',
"FACEBOOK"=> 'Facebook URL',
"ICQ" => 'ICQ',

Hope that helps,
Alex

the avatar issue may very well be an issue with Jreviews instead of JFBConnect.

The FACEBOOK field mapping is now appearing on the backend, and I thought it was working but it links like this, causing the linking to actually not work:
www.facebook.com/http://www.facebook.com/username
