Not having a good time so far with JFBConnect. The whole purpose of buying this was to not have to wrassle with FB developer stuff!

I don't understand the concept / requirement of connecting a Joomla account to FaceBook.

I'm following Creating a Social Channel
www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/docs/post...reate-social-channel

This describes my problem:

I cannot select a channel owner. The list of users is empty.

When the list of users to select for a channel owner is empty, this indicates that no users have authenticated with the social network set up in the channel. To remedy this, login on the front-end with the login button for the desired social network provider. Please make sure NOT to log in with Joomla credentials. Once the user has been created and logged in, refresh the channel in the backend. This will re-populate the list of available users to select.


Login on which front end? I'm lost.

I just want to push my article feed to FB, Google+ and Twitter. Help!

Nevermind. Figured out I had to enable the SCLogin module and log into Facebook from my site's front end. Now on to figure out how to get my article feed posting.

Sorry you ran into some hiccups. JFBConnect can't eliminate all need to deal with social network applications, but it should definitely make things much simpler.

If you run into other issues or have any questions we can help with, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex
