The invite friends module allows my users to a) invite all their friends b) invite friends by searching individually, or c) select from a list of 6 recommended friends.

The ideal method would be to allow the user to select from a list of all of their friends. Is this possible, or is 6 the limit?

UPDATE: I was wrong about option A: invite all their friends - this does not appear to be an option, so really the only option is to search friends individually and send them invitations that way. This is very cumbersome if you have hundreds of friends that you want to invite. This was the feature that I purchased JFBConnect for and it doesn't seem to worthwhile using it if a user can't invite all friends and/or select from all their friends instead of just 6.

The friends list that is populated is done automatically by Facebook. The method to choose is based off friends that haven't already authenticated on your site and ones Facebook thinks would be most interested in your site. I haven't heard of such a small number only displaying, but it could be happening if your Facebook app is new and their algorithms simply can't match your friends interests to your site. That should improve over time or even on a per-user basis.

This is all an automatic process from Facebook. As for inviting all, that's not an option that Facebook provides because a) it's usually not something a normal Facebook user would do, only the owner of an app and b) it would lead to lots of spammy content that Facebook is always trying to prevent.

I hope that helps explain,
Alex
