Regards,

How I can do for a user:

1. See section on Public Categories in K2
2. Clicking on any item from the category list
3. When clicked, redirect to the login page with facebook to see the item
4. Finally, redirect to the page to see the item
Or it can be:
3. When clicked, redirect to a popup window to give "like" at the item

The idea is that for a visitor can see the articles published, the visitor should connect to facebook or give it a "like" to the item.
Should also have the option to skip the options and see directly the item.

Thanks a lot for any answer!

You can set the article as "Registered", which will then require the user to login to your site. Then, in your category view, I believe you want to enable a setting like "Show unauthorized links". That will show the intro text of the article in the blog view, but when clicking into it, the user will be brought to the Joomla Login page. From there, they can either login with their Facebook credentials or their Joomla credentials (if they have them).

Unfortunately, you can't use the Like button to 'gate' content. That's a violation of Facebook's terms of service.

That's the only recommendations I'd have. There is no way with JFBConnect to 'hide' content optionally. We use Joomla underneath, and their access permissions. So, either something is hidden to guests or it's visible. There's not a way to tell K2 not to show it to guests and then, later on, allow the same guest to see it. That would have to a change in K2 itself.

Hope that explains,
Alex
