An installation guide is now available for JFBConnect. This goes through the setup of the component itself and creation of a Facebook application. More guides will be coming soon, along with an FAQ for common issues or problems.

Sorry about that. We're in the midst of moving servers, and missed the .htaccess file so SEF URLs broke.

It's working now.

OK, I've been searching, but no luck locating an UPGRADE GUIDE for JFBConnect. If I uninstall/install, will my user mappings still be there? All my application settings? Thanks!

Yup, it will all stay intact. Just uninstall and reinstall. That note is buried here:

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply! I did locate a snippet in another post (maybe the same you referred, maybe not <!-- s:?: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_question.gif" alt=":?:" title="Question" /><!-- s:?: --> ). Anyway, I upgraded, and everything remained configured, including the API keys. YAY!

The only gotcha was the new, recommended trailing slash ("/") after the domain name in the API CONNECT URL for Facebook. Had to rewrite my rewrites in the .htaccess so my alternate domains will talk to the API. Working great now!

Aloha!

I'm glad you got it working. Thanks for posting back about the trailing slash just in case others run into the same issue.
