Hello friends,
I just purchased JFBConnect and installed great in a Jomsocial website: www.zmile.gr

But I want to enable the Facebook requests module. What have I to do specifically?

In this tutorial www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/docs/facebook-requests I have to purchase SSL and modify the facebook app.

After that, will be the website with facebook integration OK?

Thanks!

The next release will fully support Requests without SSL. Until then, please go to your Facebook Developer area (developers.facebook.com/apps), click into your Application and hit the 'x' in the top right of the "App on Facebook" section. That will allow requests to be sent without requiring SSL on your site.

By removing the Canvas URL settings, you SSL will not be required for Requests to be sent.

The rest of the guide above for creating and setting up requests should help answer your questions, but if you need anything else, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello dear Alex,
I installed the module here: www.zmile.gr/

But it is not cmopleting the requests. Everything seems to be working fine, but we do not see the notifications in our facebook panel.

Thank you for your support!

When you're testing, please make sure you're checking the right spot to receive the request. When you login to Facebook.com as the 'receiver', in the left-hand sidebar is an item for "App Center". That should have a notification icon next to it. If you click into that, in the sidebar on the left is the "Requests" area. Click that and it's where you should see the request from whoever sent it.

If you're still not seeing it, let us know and we'll test on your site to see if we can help narrow down what may be wrong.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello dear alzander,
I can not understand what do you mean.

I see that the Invite module is working fine BUT in the receiver's facebook notifications there is coming NOTHING.

Can you please pay attention to that? www.zmile.gr

Thank you very much for your support.

Vaggelis,
I just looked at the HTML on your site. There's a few issues I notice that may be the problem on the site. First, Mootools, the Javascript library we currently use for some functionality, is not properly being included on the page. To fix, can you please edit the /modules/mod_jfbcrequest/mod_jfbcrequest.php. At the top, you'll see:
// no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
Directly below that, please add:
JHTML::_('behavior.framework');

Additionally, your website is using JomSocial's Facebook integration. For the best integration with JomSocial, and operation of JFBConnect, it's best to disable their Facebook integration. When enabled, both JFBConnect and JomSocial will re-include the Facebook Javascript library, and that should generally only be done once per page. For more information on how to best integrate JFBConnect and JomSocial, see our JomSocial Facebook Integration Guide .

I hope that helps, but please let us know if either of the above steps help get you going,
Alex

Dear alzander,
I modified the /modules/mod_jfbcrequest/mod_jfbcrequest.php exactly as you said, but the problem remains.

I talked to your partner Alex (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) before my purchase and he informed that this request module works fine with Jomsocial so I want it very much.

I can not risk to disable the existing Facebook connect because I spent days to install it. Can you handle that?

I paid for your component/module and I want to work with facebook requests. It was the only reason that I bought the jfbconnect component.

Can you please help me directly with that? In order to start working with facebook friends invites?

Thank you for your response.

That's working for me now. I've attached an image of the request being received in the Facebook App Center area. Please let me know what isn't working for you and we'll gladly help investigate.

File Attachment:


As for JomSocial integration, you don't need to upgrade to JFBConnect, but we'd still highly recommend it. You'll have more flexibility with new settings (like automatic account registration, automatic login, and customized profile import). We also have an importer which will move any connections between users who have connected their account in JomSocial to Facebook over to JFBConnect. If you want more information on how to do that, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

Dear Alex,
I am trying to understand you. I want to use facebook requests. When someone is visiting www.zmile.gr, he registers through facebook with 2 clicks, and later he tries to invite his facebook friends to come to zmile.gr

This is not working. Can you please realise my problem? I want very much your help.

We want these requests to be shown at facebook's notification area.

Do you want me to send you FTP/cPanel access?

What do you mean by that: "We also have an importer which will move any connections between users who have connected their account in JomSocial to Facebook over to JFBConnect."

I am very interested.

Thank you for your support

Facebook Requests from Apps are shown in the App Center -> Requests area. That's where the picture I posted above is from. Are you seeing Invitations appearing in the App Center -> Requests area? That is where notifications for new Requests are sent.

Please let me know if you're seeing any Requests showing up in the App Center area or in the Requests area of JFBConnect which logs which requests have been sent.

As for using JFBConnect's Facebook integration with JomSocial, the link provided above explains how to implement our "Login With Facebook" button in JomSocial's template area. To import any connections between Facebook and JomSocial that have already been made, do the following:
* Install and publish the Social Profiles - JomSocial plugin that comes with JFBConnect
* Go to the Usermap area of JFBConnect and click the "Import Connections" button in the top right
* You should see the 'connections' in the Usermap area of JFBConnect and those users can now login with JFBConnect.

I hope that helps,
Alex
