Update to Document; Posting To User's Wall was created by scosaw

Looking to update an old module I created... the code was very basic (on a really old version of JFBC) to confirm if a user was logged in via facebook or not...

I now need to update the code, which I am getting out of the documentation;

require_once JPATH_ROOT.DS.'components'.DS.'com_jfbconnect'.DS.'libraries'.DS.'facebook.php';
$jfbcLibrary = JFBConnectFacebookLibrary::getInstance();
if ($jfbcLibrary->getUserId()) // Check if there is a Facebook user logged in

But am getting two PHP errors...

1) The file does not exist. If I point the include to librarier/providers/facebook.php, that clears
2) Fatal error: Class 'JFBConnectFacebookLibrary' not found in...

Any help is appreciated.

Sorry the documentation is out of date. Can you tell me where you found that code? It is indeed old and we'd like to update it.

As to the actual question, to check if the current user is currently logged into Facebook, you can just use this code:

if (JFBCFactory::provider('facebook')->getProviderUserId() )

You don't need to require any files first to use that. However, please be aware that will check if they are currently logged in to Facebook. If you want to check if they have linked their account to Facebook, but may just have logged in with their Joomla account currently, that would be different code.

I hope that helps get you going, but let us know if you need anything else.

Thanks,
Alex
