Hi,
Have a couple of issues I desperately need to resolve.
1. Firstly avatars - on the twitter feed my avatar works BUT the default image is still in the background. On the facebook stream, no avatars appear at all and i would love that feature.
2. How do I increase the image size to be 100% of the module or set it to be at least 2-3 times bigger than what it is?
3. The stream seems to be just that with no links back to the actual fb feed.

see the streams here on my live test page. saffaevents.com/index.php/london-scene

1. Firstly avatars - on the twitter feed my avatar works BUT the default image is still in the background.

JFBConnect has an author class on the stream post. Your template also has a style defined for the author class that adds a background from the following file saffaevents.com/templates/jsn_venture_pr...icons/icons-base.png

You have two options to fix this:
1) Update your template to be more specific about which authors get the background
2) Create a template override for the SCSocialStream theme you are using and set a background image to none for the author
.socialstream .author {
background: none;
}

To do the template override, copy the CSS file from /media/sourcecoast/themes/scsocialstream/default/styles.css directory to /templates/<YOUR_TEMPLATE>/html/com_jfbconnect/themes/scsocialstream/default/ directory.

On the facebook stream, no avatars appear at all and i would love that feature.

Yes, we already have this in our issue tracker to add in an upcoming release.

How do I increase the image size to be 100% of the module or set it to be at least 2-3 times bigger than what it is?

In the same theme CSS file mentioned above, you should be able to update the style of images. I would recommend looking around line 26 at the ".socialstream .provider img" block and line 61 at the ".socialstream .preview .image img" block.

The stream seems to be just that with no links back to the actual fb feed.

We also have this in our issue tracker as well. If you'd like to try the suggestions in the following thread, please check to see if this works for you. www.sourcecoast.com/forums/jfbconnect/jf...-stream-link-to-post

This should get you going, but please let me know if you encounter any issues.

Hi thanks for the information.
I will have to wait for the next update for some of the items.

I fixed the avatar background thanks to your advice :)

the images however are another issue all together. Firstly line 21 refers to the social icon size? (not needed).
Secondly line 61 was correct and I added the following "width: 350px;" to the ".socialstream .preview .image img" section HOWEVER, this seems to stretch the already small image and now its as fuzzy as ever. Im guessing i got this wrong. so just to recap - i want to make the post images larger as they're to small currently.

.socialstream .preview .image img {
width: 350px;
max-width: 100%;
}

thank you :)

After reviewing this functionality again by looking at our code/Facebook API, there is not currently a way to provide a larger non-fuzzy image.

Looking at our code, JFBConnect does not try to specify or limit a size of the picture. Whatever image Facebook decides to return for looking at the feed is what we have to use. If you open the URL to the image being displayed in another window, then you will see that it is small and would stretch fuzzy as you're seeing.

In the following documentation from Facebook, you can see that only one picture is returned for each post and there are no ways to customize the picture dimensions that are returned currently.
developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.2/post

Sorry if this isn't the answer you're looking for, but I hope that it helps clarify the issue.
