Topic-icon Only stream, no autopost, without front end login

Hi
I purchased JFBConnect to only SHOW posts (from FB and twitter) on our website and optionally (but not essential) to post some Joomla Articles. What we don't want is to login to our website with FB credentials or similar, but ONLY show the stream, because in the website there are already reserved login for users.
I'm not able to do this configuration because I don't see any user in Channel configuration. I need a little help to configure this.
thank you
Alberto

We have many customers that do exactly what you're trying to do. To use the "Channels" feature in JFBConnect, which lets you show a customizable stream of posts from Twitter and Facebook, you'll need to setup authentication. Once the Channel and display is configured, you can remove the SCLogin button and other social login options from the site.

The reason you need to authenticate is because Facebook and Twitter both require using their API to pull the streams from a Page or Twitter Account and the only way to use the API is to authenticate using that social network and granting permission for JFBConnect to make requests on your account's behalf.

I hope that helps explain the reason and requirements, but if you need any assistance setting things up, please let us know.

Thanks,
Alex
