Do you have a link to setting up a channel in JFB Connect?
The documentation for setting up a channel is found here:

Im stuck with authenticating a joomla user with facebook. Im not sure how to accomplish this?
It might be a little out of date or not as specific as it needs to be, as I just changed a lot of Channel setup functionality in the last release and will still be tweaking it. With 6.2.4, here are some specific steps that might help explain how to handle the setup of the channel and having to authenticate the feature.
1. To add a FB page or group, for the Facebook account that you want to be the channel owner, login on the front-end
with the Facebook button, not as a Joomla user.
2. Create the channel in the backend and you should be able to select that channel owner from #1.
3. Save the channel.
4. If there were warnings in the channel for permissions that need to be approved, such as manage_pages, publish_actions or user_groups, log out on the front-end and re-log in via the Facebook button with the channel owner.
5. In the backend in the channel, refresh it and hit save. Then follow prompts to select the page/group etc, then select the published button. Then save.
6. Theoretically at this point, after saving, there should be some stream data to test the communication.
7. Then to post, any admin that logs in on the front-end should be able to create the post, even if they are not the channel owner.
To add Twitter or LinkedIn, just change the above steps to log in on the front-end with the Twitter or LinkedIn buttons, respectively.
In addition you can only create a facebook app from a personal facebook page. I want to direct all my social media between my website and business facebook page (facebook.com/wintersetaviation) How do I accomplish this?
Once the channel is created to the Business Facebook Page (facebook.com/wintersetaviation) following the setup steps from above, you will be able to
1. Create posts on your website that will be pushed to the business page - Guide at

2. Load posts from the business page on your website with our SCSocialStream module - Guide at

This is a newer feature to JFBConnect, so setup for channels is not completely polished yet. Please let me know if you run into problems with any of the above pieces.
