Yes. It pulls in their Facebook information and can store it in a JomSocial, Community Builder, or Kunena profile. You can test this functionality out on our demo site if interested:So from what I understand, JFBC will pull a user's FB profile information and populate it onto my JS site? A user who just arrived on my site, enter their FB login info and BAM all their information on their FB site will be on my site?
Yes, the information is stored permanently in the JomSocial, Community Builder, and/or Kunena tables. It is not stored within JFBConnect itself. This allows those respective components to not even know (or care) where that information came from originally and therefore, they operate just like normal.Is the information pulled on my site stored on my site permanently or just temporary meaning if the user were to cancel/delete their FB account, will their information still remain on my site? If not, is there a way to import their FB account over?
Nope. Each user that logs in with JFBConnect can be given the option to create a standalone Jomla account. If you were to uninstall JFBConnect entirely, their imported profile would still remain in JomSocial and they could use their Joomla account to log in. The only thing you'd loose at that point is for the user to return to the site and log in manually (or automatically as of JFBConnect 3.0) with their FB credentials.What happens if I disable the JFBC plugin? Will all the user's FB data on my site be lost?
We don't modify JomSocial's behavior, we merely import data into it as if the user entered it themselves. If it's not searchable before JFBConnect, it won't be after. If it is searchable, it will be after you install and use JFBConnect.About their profile information. On FB, for example, My Favorite books, movies, etc are all searchable profile fields. But in JS, those fields aren't searchable. So when a user is on my JS site, will those profile fields be linked or not?
Not yet. Right now, it's a one-way street where information is always pulled from Facebook to your Joomla site. With JFBConnect 3.0 we're including modules that let you implement all of the following features (comment boxes, Like buttons, recommendation buttons, etc):Are the activities cross linked meaning what I do on my JS site will show on the FB wall and vice versa? Is the linking automatic or does the user need to click a "Link" button of some sort to sync both account?
Information is only imported into a user's profile when they login to the site. We're investigating ways to refresh this content more frequently, but have nothing to speak of now.Is the information linked on each site posted immediately from FB to JS instantly or is there a delay from one site to another meaning if I upload a photo on my JS site, it gets posted immediately on FB. But if I post a comment or upload a photo on FB, it doesn't get posted on my site as immediate. In fact, it might get posted on my site every 30 minutes or so for example. Is this the case?
See above post. With JFBC 2.x, very little activity gets pushed back to Facebook. With 3.0 right out of the box, there's a lot of ways for content to be pushed back to Facebook, but it's not automated. With future releases, we plan to bridge the information much more tightly between the 2 systems based on customer feedback and feature requests.Is everything I do on my JS site gets posted on FB and vice versa such as uploading a linked video, uploading a photo, creating a group, event, etc? Are there activities that doesn't get shared between the two sites?
