Hello, I have 2 questions:
    Via the canvas APP, it's there any way to send and recieve GET variables so you can display different parts of the website? For example in you page, entering apps.facebook.com/joomla-to-facebook/
?section=canvas code some PHP to redirect the user to a specific section of the website? Or display any content for that matter. This is because I'd like to make a Facebook Photo Contest, and this would be usefull
    How's the integration with ZOO?

Thank you very much

You can use full paths at the end of the App URL, like:
apps.facebook.com/joomla-extensions/forums
apps.facebook.com/joomla-extensions/blog

However, the URL won't visibly change after the initial landing page since the content is shown within an iFrame. That should let you create many different app landing pages for your site though, if that's what you're looking for.

I'm not sure about GET variables in particular and how they would work, but I think that's possible as well.. just haven't really tested with them.

Finally, we don't have any specific integration with Zoo. JFBConnect is compatible with just about every extension out there, so users that login through Facebook are seen just like any other Joomla user. You can also add our {JFBCLike} or {JFBCComments} (or other) tags to your Zoo articles or template to have the FB widgets appear. The notification email on new FB Likes and Comments and comments will work within Zoo, etc, etc. So, you shouldn't have problems using JFBConnect with Zoo, but if you have more specific requests, let me know.

Thanks,
Alex

Thank you very much, sorry I didn't answear earlier, I didn't get a notif e-mail.

The full paths its just great, I think that would do the trick for what I'm looking for. Though it would be nice to know more about the GET vars, but I guess I'll have to try.

For ZOO it doesn't really affect me that much, but thanks!
