JFBConnect has a module to add social sharing to any page of your site, either floating on the side (like this site) or in any module position. Additionally, features like Open Graph Actions can be created to put an "I'm attending" or "I want to go to this" button on the page, which can push back to the user's Timeline. Open Graph Actions aren't currently tied into buttons that may already exist in JEvents, like "Attend" that can push that back to the user's Timeline. For that, we'd need to create an Open Graph Plugin for deeper integration into JEvents.- Can I use the features in Events ... much like you do it with the Joomla articles?
The "Channels" feature of JFBConnect allows you to push the any URL from your site to your Facebook Page or Group, Twitter Stream or LinkedIn Company Page. You'll also be able to leave a comment for your post and JFBConnect will take care of the Open Graph tags and Twitter Card tags to make sure the preview/thumbnail appear properly.I would love to send an event to the associated Facebook page as soon as the user adds the event. Is that possible that this could be achieved?
That'd be outside of JFBConnect altogether. We don't integrate with Mailchimp directly. We do call the standard Joomla User plugins, which can automatically register a new user to whichever newsletter you want. For integrating Mailchimp into JEvents specifically though, that's beyond anything we'd plan to do.- I am using Mailchimp at the moment as my newsletter system. I would like to sign up users when they register to add an event. Is that possible?
