And you mention module ? Do you mean {JFBCAction id=1 text=Post To Your Timeline} ?
Sorry for the confusion. Yes, that tag works. Or, you can use the SCSocialWidget configured as Facebook -> Action. We try to be flexible for whatever works for you, but the tag you used usually can be inserted places easier.
i added debugging and for the button i have share.. with the settings i posted above. i get the blue box with Error: Action is not associated to the object type of this page.
That error comes from JFBConnect itself. It means that the action you configured is not associated with the page you're trying to trigger it on. Please check:
* In the Action configuration that you've checked the box next to the object you're trying to associate to the page
* On the page, the proper object has been applied. A good way to do this is to set the object type to something like "TESTTEST" (temporarily). Then, if you view the HTML on the page, you should see the following tag somewhere:
<meta property="og:type" content="TESTTEST"/>
If the object isn't applying to the page, you'll need to investigate which object is or fix the object settings so that it does.
1. facebook comments - can post comments with facebook user but if i click to also add to facebook. comment shows up on website but nothing goes to timeline of facebook profile.
Do you mean the Facebook Comment box, like at the end of an article? If so, there should be a "Post this comment to Facebook" checkbox in the widget that the user can check to push the comment to their activity feed within Facebook. JFBConnect has *no* control over how that post shows up though within Facebook as the Comment box is controlled completely by Facebook.
2. like buttons it will show the user liked but it does not show in the likes on facebook.
Similar to above, Facebook completely controls their Like buttons and how it is promoted on a user's feed. If you go to Facebook and click the "Activity Log" button in your cover photo area, the Like should show up there. From there, Facebook automatically decides whether it shows in the user's feed, the friend 'ticker' or various other places. That's all controlled by their algorithms and, again, we have no control over that. In general though, the more Likes's a page gets, the more chance your Like's will show on user's timelines. Similarly, if a friend is visiting your feed and that friend has Like'd other content on your site or authenticated on your site, it's more likely that the Like will show to that user.
3. what is the best way to set up a default image. to represent the site so like a default image that opengraph would pick when there is not a dedicated image such as first image in k2
Go to the JFBConnect -> Open Graph -> Configuration area. There is a "Defaults" box where you can set a default image, like:
image=http://yoursite.com/link-to-default.jpg
JFBConnect will set that on all pages, but order it after all other images that may be set so that Facebook *should* choose it last. Sometimes, their algorithms prefer the default image though, which can be annoying.
Added image of developers area what i see
The first step is figuring out why JFBConnect thinks the action isn't related to the object. With that error, JFBConnect isn't even trying to submit the action to Facebook to prevent them from denying it.
hopefully i can some help with this i bought jfb like 4 years ago and never was able to get it to work on a public site. hopefully this time its different
We're trying to help however we can. It sounds like you have Facebook authentication, social sharing and the comments box already setup and working properly. The Open Graph tags seem to be setup as well. Open Graph Actions are the most complex feature we have. So, you're doing well so far, but we'll continue to work to help get you going with that as well.
Thanks,
Alex

( Note Might have narrowed it down. Comments will show for pages on zoo component. that i manually added to page. still looking into the backend setting for k2 comments. but that will not show k2 articles on facebook.
