Please update "JFBConnect Initial Installation and Basic Configuration" video

You are correct that our video instructions are woefully out of date. We've attempted to update them in the past but each social network changes their configuration area so frequently, it's proven to be futile to try. Keeping text instructions with pictures up to date is much simpler. Creating, editing and putting the touches on a video takes a considerable effort and while in the middle of doing specific ones in the past, the whole interface was redone, throwing out our work.

We will likely just take the videos down as the text tutorials, pictures and autotune suffice for most users.

I hope that helps explain, even if it's not a great answer to your question.

Thanks,
Alex

I'm glad the videos still provide some help. That's definitely part of the reason we've kept them up.. but redoing them is in order.

Your suggestion for separate forums for each network is a good one. With JFBConnect v9, we're going to go to one forum for JFBConnect (instead of one for Joomla 3.x and one for 4.x, like we did with 2.x and 3.x). Having sub-forums for groups of products is good. I can see breaking out the major networks, like Facebook and Twitter. Some others may go into a catch all category as they are less used.. but I agree it could be beneficial for those searching through posts. Thanks for the idea. Sounds easy now

As for Joomla in general, we agree! We recently moved from a 3rd party blog system to Joomla's core with custom fields. Another site we built uses custom fields extensively and other extensions are using them as well now. We're planning a feature to use custom fields for Open Graph tags as well, which should be easier to manage.

With 4.0 coming out later this year, I think there's some other positive things coming. It's a good upgrade and modernization overall. Not revolutionary, but a big step up.

Thanks again for your feedback and don't hesitate to reach out with any other suggestions!

Thanks,
Alex
