Hi, two questions:
(1) Is it possible to use this component to add friends that are not imported from FB? For example, I want my user to be able to manually add information about their friends from other circles (even though these other friends may not be members of my site). This way, when a user wants to see information about the user's friends, information about the friends from fb and other circles are displayed.
(2) when sending a request, can the request be anything? For example, I want to send a request to a friend that says "I want to come over," and the response is "Don't come over" or "anytime". Is that possible?
(3) if the above is not possible, do you provide fee-based custom codes?

Thanks.

1) No, JFBConnect doesn't manage on-site friends in anyway. If you want a 'social' experience on your site, we'd recommend something like JomSocial or Community Builder. JFBConnect helps connect your site to Facebook and increases engagement and visibility. It's not an on-site community extension. JomSocial or CB are great at that, where we're great at the Facebook interactions.
2) No. A Request is simply a way for a user to send a message to their friends. When a user Accepts, they are simply redirected to a page on your site that you define. It's not personalized request that can have options.. the user either accepts (goes to the site URL) or doesn't (ignores entirely). That's how Facebook has things working, and we have no ability to customize the 'action' buttons presented to the user which are "Accept" and "Ignore"
3) No, we don't provide fee-based custom code. We gladly help our subscribers implement new features as much as we can. Almost all new features over the last year or so have been suggestions from users that we've helped implement on their site (for free) and then rolled into subsequent releases to make better.

Hope that helps explain!
Alex
