Hi Alex,

Example: User generate a album in Facebook and upload pictures in to the album
Now he will see the Pictures in FB and on his Homepage

It was fine you can help me.

Best regards
Michael

Michael,
Right now, we don't have a way to show a user's Facebook Album within Joomla. That is something we're definitely planning to have in an upcoming release. We have plans to implement easy ways to show a Facebook Page, Group, Event and Album within Joomla, and that will be rolling out over a few releases in 2014.

I hope that helps answer your question, and sorry it's not available for you right now.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

many thanks for your Answer. Do you have a roadmap for 2014 so that we can see how long we must wait for the new functions.

Best regards
Michael

Michael,
Unfortunately, we don't have a public roadmap available. That's something we're working to make available over the next few months. We're moving to a new bug-tracking system that should make publicizing upcoming fixes for bugs and new feature planning.

As for what you're looking for, my best guess is that an initial feature like you're looking for would be available in the April release. In the next major release (due in February), we're working to implement a new system that can pull in information from a Page, Group and *possibly* an Album for a user. If it's not in that release, it would be in the next version (in April).

The feature would simply pull and display the images from Facebook inline on your site. It would *not* import them into your database or store them locally. That may be something that gets added later, but not an initial feature.

I hope that helps answer your question. If you have any feedback on the general gist of what we're planning above, just let me know. We'd love to know how you'd like to use the feature and if the above would work how you'd like.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,
as you know I'm working with joomla 3.x + Seblod 3.x + JFBConnect 5.2.x + HikaShop ... etc.

1 - I have Registration using Seblod forms and connect / import informations from Socials
2 - I add Articles using Seblod and automatically post them on Socials pages (Is it anything that is coming in JFBConnect, it isn't ?)
3 - Would be wonderful have the same also for Events, I add an Event in joomla using Seblod and it will be published automatically as Facebook Event / Google+ Event. This is why I want put in evidence for you that Seblod is releasing an Event solution .

About the "Album solution": Sure often happen (maybe always) that as soon as possible I have to post images of the Event (and/or Article) into the site.
So I think it is a very good thing to have a way to set my Seblod Article / Event in Joomla to show automatically images from a Facebook page / Event folder and/or Google+ page / Event folder. So when images are uploaded into that Facebook / Google+ folder they are shown directly into my Seblod Article / Event in Joomla. Is this the solution you planned ?
If so, please, have you thought something to avoid the Facebook photos / videos property issue ? What is your experience on that ? Is it anything that also Google+ apply ?

Many Thanks
