Hello.
I'm wondering is JFBConnect is able to display articles after saving in joomla, on facebook profile?

JFBConnect won't automatically post articles to a Facebook Page or Profile after they've been created. It's something we're looking into adding, but it's also very difficult to make fool-proof. Simply posting an article after it's saved can cause a lot of problems from double-posts to the wall or even premature posts if it's published (either accidentally or maybe 'quickly' just to see it fully on the front-end). Things like that take great care to make sure it doesn't cause problems for our users that are unexpected.

We currently recommend simply using the Open Graph integration of JFBConnect (which let you set the title, description and image for an article that will be used in a Facebook Wall Post) and then clicking the Like button on that article or sharing the Link within Facebook. That's much less error prone, and also allows you to tailor the message or information that goes into the wall a lot more towards your Facebook audience.

Hope that helps explain, but if you have other questions, just let us know!
Alex
