I just Private Messaged you the JFBConnect v4.3 package for Joomla 2.5. I hope that helps.

Would you be able to send me the Voxel RT template? We'd love to do our own testing to narrow down what is actually happening. If we can fix it, great, but even if we can just find the cause, that would help a ton.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Looks like it was just an issue of one setting which we have not noticed!

The setting "Strip Easy-Tags from Header" in JFBConnect was set to "yes". Just set it No and it works!

Hope it does not create other issues. can you please confirm that

best regards

AH HA! Well that's a horse of a different color. You're actually going to be happy that our code found this problem for you.

That setting is meant to strip our {JFBCLike} and other tags from the head section of your page. The problem was that K2 and other extensions were pulling the beginning of the intro text and putting it into the meta description tag, producing unwanted description tags showing up in search engine results and elsewhere.

That setting that you disabled is for some code in JFBConnect that will scan the <head> block of your page and strip out the {JFBC...} type tags.

The problem with your site is that you have multiple html and head tags. That completely violates the HTML specification and causing the JFBConnect code to strip those tags. Extra html, head, or body tags will really mess up your search engine rankings and lots of other stuff as it can cause Google to not scan your page properly.

So, remove those extra html and head tags (around the code for your Google Verification) and hopefully that will fix things for you. If not, let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks. Yes that was good! Found the code which was adding the extra head and html tag. Removed it now, and JFBConnect seem to now work with "Strip Easy-Tags from Header" set to "yes" as well. So the question is should we keep that setting to "yes" or "no".

Also noticed when running the W3C validation it is throwing up errors which are linked to JFBConnect. Would you be able to have a look at that.

best regards

Keep that setting at 'yes'. In v4.3, we added that setting, and defaulted it to 'off'. In 5.0, we defaulted it to 'on'. The plan is to remove that option altogether in the next release and leave it permanently on. You are the first user to have issues with that option since 5.0 was released, and it turned out to not really be an issue with JFBConnect.

Regarding the validation issues, there isn't much we can do about many of those. The social networks use some custom HTML elements that they look for on the page, and aren't 100% HTML compliant. Those validation issues shouldn't cause problems for you though either with search engines or browsers rendering the page.

Of the 50+ errors, it seems like about 20 or so were from the social buttons in JFBConnect. The others were not related to JFBConnect and are things you could likely fix. Some things like the closing /ul for a list that wasn't open are things I'd recommend looking into more as that could cause rendering issues in some browsers.

I hope that all helps, but if you need anything else, just let me know.

Thanks,
Alex

No problem for all the support, it's what we're here for. If you narrow down the validation issues and have specific questions relating to ones from JFBConnect, just let us know. It's possible one or two of those can be cleared up, but it's tough looking through the list as it stood.

Finally, if you haven't already, please consider leaving a rating and review for JFBConnect, or our support, on the Joomla Extension Directory. It certainly isn't required, but is very appreciated:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/social-...ook-integration/7215

Thanks, and good luck,
Alex
