I was wondering is there is a way to post FB users integrated with kunena to automatically post with options to choose not post to FB thier kunena comments? Or can kunena comments be merged./integrated with the JFBcomments functionality allowing the comments to act the same way posting to their FB profile?

And on a side note: Can the JFB comments width be set to auto. allowing it to align with the content on any page setting?

I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for here. It sounds like you want to use FB Comments and Kunena together, but merge them so that a comment in one posts in the other? Is that correct? If so, that's not possible. If you're looking for something else, let me know.

As for the FB Comments width, unfortunately, it can't be. Facebook requires a width value in pixels only. We can't use auto or a % value, which would be great. We're looking into ways around this limitation as responsive templates are becoming so common. I don't know when we may have a solution though.

Hope that helps,
Alex

Yeah. Its the comments in Kunena to be posted to their FB wall, like you mentioned to kind of integrate them. I understand its complexity , especially since not all users use FB account. The auto width on FBcomments would be nice to have when its available :)

For the comments width, try adding the following to your CSS stylesheet:
.fb-comments, .fb-comments iframe[style] {width: 100% !important;}
Would love to have your feedback on that. Things to specifically look for are that it does *not* alter the Like button width or any other of the FB social widgets.

For posting to the wall on a post, we just don't have that yet. There's ways to do it with PHP, but Facebook wants to make sure that the user is very aware that the post will be made. Additionally, we have a Javascript call that you could use to present a popup for the user to 'approve' the message, but you'd need to integrate that into the "Submit" action on Kunena.. and make sure that it doesn't prevent the actual post in Kunena from being submitted.

If you'd like to investigate more (and know a little PHP to do some of the investigation on your own), we'd gladly help point you in the right direction for either the automated post (likely the easiest route) or the Javascript route (harder, but more compliant and lets the user have a choice).

Hope that helps,
Alex

Cant I use custom html and put some html instead of css styling? I am afraid to change the default css style sheet as I am using another software (artisteer) to generate my templates and its throwing problems for auto updates if I am messing with its style sheet (need to uninstall and install for this reason). how about creating a style sheet other than the default for /httpdocs/modules/mod_jfbccomments and use that as alternate layout in my custom html module?

You can put that CSS code wherever you want. Most templates usually have a 'custom' CSS file for overrides, but you could even add it into a custom HTML module with an inline style, like below. Just make sure the title is off and that it's set to show on every page of your site. You'll just need to find a template position that won't alter the template/output in some other way.
[code]<style type="text/css">.fb-comments, .fb-comments iframe[style] {width: 100% !important;}</style>

As for a custom CSS sheet, we do have one for JFBConnect, but we don't want to include that on every page for performance reasons. We try very hard to include as little and do as little as necessary to make sure things go as fast as possible on pages.

Hope that helps,
Alex

There are multiple places you can add it that would work. We'd need to know more about your site and configuration to tell you the best file to add it to. Can you let us know the URL that you are using JFBConnect on?

Also, please post from the account you subscribed to JFBConnect from. Priority support is for active subscribers only.

Thanks,
Alex

Alex,
You commented "For posting to the wall on a post, we just don't have that yet. There's ways to do it with PHP, but Facebook wants to make sure that the user is very aware that the post will be made.

"

I have been looking for a way to do this for sometime, but have been struggling to get a solution. I think it would be perfectly acceptable to add an approval option to the post.

When you said - we dont have it yet, what timescales did you have in mind to get this feature available please?
