Andrea,
Our profile plugins don't have an option to fetch the user's friend list, but it is possible to get that user's friend using some Facebook API calls through JFBConnect. We can gladly give you the code you would need to fetch a friend list (Facebook IDs, name, profile link, and picture) from Facebook. That would require a developer on your end to do something with that data (store in the database, etc). If you'd like more information, just let me know.

I'm not sure what you meant by "and facebook page user clicked "i like"?" Can you explain that more as to what you're looking for?

Thanks,
Alex

To get a user's friends, you can use the following code:

$jfbcLibrary = JFBConnectFacebookLibrary::getInstance();
$friends = $jfbcLibrary->api('/me/friends?fields=id,name,link,picture');
$friends = $friends['data'];

From there, you'll have an array of friend data with their id, name, link, and picture.

For Likes, you'll need to make sure you're requesting the user_likes permission. That can be added in the Configuration -> Facebook API area of JFBConnect. Then, you can do something similar to the above:

$jfbcLibrary = JFBConnectFacebookLibrary::getInstance();
$likes = $jfbcLibrary->api('/me/likes');

I haven't tested Likes before, but I'm pretty sure that's all there is to it. For more information on fetching Like's, please see:
developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/#likes

I hope that helps, but if you need anything else, run into issues, or have have any questions, just let me know.

Thanks,
Alex
