Check here if you are not seeing status posted to your wall

If your account was already registered with your Facebook application, it probably does not have the correct permissions. Try this:

* Go log in to Facebook.
* Go to Account -> Application Settings.
* Find your Application and click Edit Settings.
* Click the Additional Permissions tab.
* Check "Publish to streams".

When a new user signs up or accepts your application from now on, they are prompted to allow this permission. Any existing users, however, are not prompted. We are looking at adding a feature in the next version that will allow you to set a flag to prompt users the next time they log in if they have not accepted the additional permissions.

You can also test hooking up your Facebook account again (like a new user would experience) by deleting your application on the Application Settings page by clicking the X on the right. Once you've done this, you should get the Facebook pop-up asking to allow your application access to your information again the next time you log into your site.

Mike,

I don't think you need to change anything at the application level on Facebook. The Additional Permissions are just something users can set to either allow or deny access to write to their walls. The instructions above were to help people who are testing JFBConnect on their website to help them try different scenarios over and over.

All you should need to do is go to the Status/Wall Settings tab in Components -> JFBConnect -> Configuration in your Joomla! site's backend, make sure Update Status Message is set to Yes and type in the messages you want to be displayed when a user logs in and when they sign up.

If you have issues, create a new post on these forums and I will help you out.

Thanks

@virtualbiz4u,

Currently, JFBConnect doesn't provide any way to update JS status along with Facebook status. We are investigating being able to update Facebook status when a user updates their JS status. We will put this on the list of things to investigate as well.

Thanks

The status updates work for new users that connect to your site. Current users need to update their Additional Permissions on Facebook. We have implemented changes in JFBConnect 3.0.0 that will allow you to request permissions for existing users on your site as well. We have all the changes implemented and just need to test more before releasing it to the public.

You should be able to update the Additional Permissions for your Facebook account using the information in this post so you can see the status being updated on your wall when you log in.

Let me know if you need any more help.

Sorry for your troubles. I will try to investigate it now and get you an answer shortly.

1. After initial installation login updates were being posted to FB

That is good. What all did you install/configure between then and when things stopped working?

2. Mapped fields were not imported into CB (I already had an account - will this be the problem there?)

There is a setting to "Always Import Profile Data". When this is set to Yes, it will import every time the user logs in. If it's not set to Yes, it will only import when the user originally signs up. I just signed up as wlrdq. See if my data imported correctly. You can also delete your User Map and reconnect your account to import the data, I believe.

3. After installation of Invite friends - photo stopped uploading although I've think I've now sussed this in that the picture will not upload to login on the same page as the invite - Is this the way it is expected to work?

This is not the way it should work, I don't think. I can't tell if my photo got imported because I can't get to My Profile page because I have not been approved by a moderator. If you can approve me, I will check it out.

4. Again following the Invite friends login updates are no longer posted to FB?

It looks like status was posted to my wall when I signed up:
[url:6lrumpn5]http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=1376670284[/url:6lrumpn5]


5. I noticed that my signup confirmation letter did not include a confirmcode. All I got was this:
[url:6lrumpn5]http://www.dancebooker.co.uk/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=confirm&confirmcode=[/url:6lrumpn5]
I think someone else has asked about this on these forums. I will try to search and see what solution we came up with (if any).


Let me know what you find.
