Will this allow us to create multiple tabs on a Facebook page? We are working on a campaign and need to have two tabs each with some Joomla content on them - one an article and the other will include a form.

thanks!

Yes and no. JFBConnect only works with one application from Facebook, and each application can only be one tab. However, you can install JFBConnect onto 2 Joomla sites (even on the same domain, just different folders) and use a different application ID for each instance so that you can use 2 tabs.

Hope that makes sense. It's a limitation of Facebook, and while we could (and may) add the ability to use multiple application IDs within JFBConnect to allow for multiple tabs, we don't support it yet.

In my head...yes it make sense...when the rubber hits the road and i'm trying to make it work...do we have support (with a 1 year subscription) to help with getting it functional? :)

Absolutely. While JFBConnect is a great extension (and I'm completely biased of course), our support is where we really shine.

Basically, to do what you're saying, you'd need 2 Joomla installations, and 2 databases. We actually have multiple Joomla sites running on sourcecoast.com:
www.sourcecoast.com
www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/
www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/demo

While it's not necessary to have 3 different sites for what we do, some are for legacy reasons (multiple sites came together and we just never merged them).. some are for segregation of users (we don't want 'demo' users getting accounts on our main site).. and then there's some other reasons :)

In any case, we use JFBConnect on all 'sites', and while we use the same AppId, you could easily use different AppId's on each, allowing your Facebook Page to pull a Tab from each of those sites, if you wanted.

Again, hope that makes sense, but yes, we can walk you through it. Feel free to read our reviews on the JED concerning our support:
