OK Alex, I will try another one or ask the developer.
BTW, could you please provide me the code to get the user avatars and and the user name? And can it include the feature link to user profile by clicking the avatars and username?

Thank you!

The code for getting a user avatar from Facebook, and link to that profile on Facebook, is:
$user = JFactory::getUser();
$jUserId = $user->get('id');
$userMapModel = new JFBConnectModelUserMap(); 
$fbUserId = $userMapModel->getFacebookUserId($jUserId);
$profileLibrary = JFBConnectProfileLibrary::getInstance(); 
$fbAvatarUrl = $profileLibrary->getAvatarUrl($userMapModel->getFacebookUserId($jUserId); 
# Show their FB avatar (if desired), or give them the option to link accounts 
$fbProfileUrl = 'https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id='.$fbUserId;
if ($fbAvatarUrl) 
       echo 'Welcome '.$user->get('name').'<a href="' . $fbProfileUrl .'"><img src="' . $fbAvatarUrl . '" /></a>';
Hope that helps,
Alex

Hi Alex, Thank you for your help.
And I am so sorry about my bad PHP knowledge. I am tried to copy the code you provided to Flexi Custom Content module, but it just display the code not the username and avatars at FrontPage.
So I am wondering if I need to add some additional code before the one you provided, such as add a "<div class" like you provide before
<div class="username">Hello <?php echo JFactory::getUser()->get('username'); ?></div>

Thank you!

Sorry, yes, you'll need to use the <?php tags, like:
<?php
$user = JFactory::getUser(); 
$jUserId = $user->get('id'); 
$userMapModel = new JFBConnectModelUserMap(); 
$fbUserId = $userMapModel->getFacebookUserId($jUserId); 
$profileLibrary = JFBConnectProfileLibrary::getInstance(); 
$fbAvatarUrl = $profileLibrary->getAvatarUrl($userMapModel->getFacebookUserId($jUserId); 
# Show their FB avatar (if desired), or give them the option to link accounts 
$fbProfileUrl = 'https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id='.$fbUserId; 
if ($fbAvatarUrl) 
       echo 'Welcome '.$user->get('name').'<a href="' . $fbProfileUrl .'"><img src="' . $fbAvatarUrl . '" /></a>';
?>
<div class="my_style">Outside of the PHP tags, you can insert normal HTML</div>
Hope that helps, but if you need anything else, let me know.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex, with no luck, the code still not work.
Can I just copy the code to the custom code module?
I pasted this code
<?php 
$user = JFactory::getUser(); 
$jUserId = $user->get('id'); 
$userMapModel = new JFBConnectModelUserMap(); 
$fbUserId = $userMapModel->getFacebookUserId($jUserId); 
$profileLibrary = JFBConnectProfileLibrary::getInstance(); 
$fbAvatarUrl = $profileLibrary->getAvatarUrl($userMapModel->getFacebookUserId($jUserId); 
# Show their FB avatar (if desired), or give them the option to link accounts 
$fbProfileUrl = 'https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id='.$fbUserId; 
if ($fbAvatarUrl) 
       echo 'Welcome '.$user->get('name').'<a href="' . $fbProfileUrl .'"><img src="' . $fbAvatarUrl . '" /></a>';
?>
to the custom code module. And then I can't open my site. Errors like this:
Strict Standards: Only variables should be assigned by reference in /modules/mod_flexi_customcode/tmpl/default.php on line 24

Strict Standards: Non-static method modFlexiCustomCode::parsePHPviaFile() should not be called statically in /modules/mod_flexi_customcode/tmpl/default.php on line 54

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /tmp/htmlOw8tdZ on line 7
I am keeping doing this many times but not works. If possible and if you have time to check it at my backend? :)
Thank you!

It should be able to be pasted in, but there was a typo in my code above. There is a missing ) at the end of the line that starts with $fbAvatarUrl =.

The corrected code is:
$user = JFactory::getUser();
    $jUserId = $user->get('id');
    $userMapModel = new JFBConnectModelUserMap();
    $fbUserId = $userMapModel->getFacebookUserId($jUserId);
    $profileLibrary = JFBConnectProfileLibrary::getInstance();
    $fbAvatarUrl = $profileLibrary->getAvatarUrl($userMapModel->getFacebookUserId($jUserId));
    # Show their FB avatar (if desired), or give them the option to link accounts
    $fbProfileUrl = 'https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id='.$fbUserId;
    if ($fbAvatarUrl)
           echo 'Welcome '.$user->get('name').'<a href="' . $fbProfileUrl .'"><img src="' . $fbAvatarUrl . '" /></a>';
In that, there are 2 )) at the end of that line, which is correct.

Very sorry for the confusion. Please try that and let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex, I am very appreciated your help on this issue. But with no luck, I tried this many times and I still can't make it, and the code seems not work either. Could you help me at my backend to check it? If you have time to help me I will send you the access info. via PM.

Thanks in advance!
