Hi. How works invite friends from FB feature? Through link menu or module or what?
Is possible invite only from FB?
Do I have to have valid SSL certificate in my site to use it? And it's truth that my FB app need to belong to games category?
Thanks
Best regards

All your questions, and more, are answered in our Facebook Requests setup guide .

Unfortunately, what you ask about is true. Facebook restricted the Invite/Requests feature a bit last year, so there's a lot of limitations on how it works and what you need on your site... but it's still a good feature to have to bring more users into your site.

I hope that helps,
Alex

Ok i read it. And last question please: can I set games category for my app even if my site doesn't have games? Fb will block my app if I do that?
Thanks
Best regards

I don't have an answer to that. Facebook does what Facebook wants. I'm sure their platform policies state that you should try to put your app in the best category for your site. Will they ban you if you don't? I haven't heard of that happening, but I'm not going to say yes or no either way.

Thanks,
Alex

You may want to check out this Facebook question about how to let user's send notifications to their friends. JFBConnect supports the "Send" widget that they recommend there.

I hope that helps,

The Facebook Send button does not require an SSL certificate.

It can be easily configured with the SCSocialWidget module. Just configure it as a Facebook -> Send widget and change any of the settings how you want. There are tooltips for each setting that should help explain their purpose.

If you don't want to add the Send button in a module position, you can use our Easy-Tags to enable them anywhere. For more information, see our Easy-Tag documentation in the Facebook - Send section:
www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/docs/social-sharing/easy-tags

Finally, our JFBCContent plugin can automatically insert the sharing features into your articles. One of the options in the Social configuration area of JFBConnect is to also show the Send button along with the Facebook Like button.

I hope that helps,
Alex
