We've been using Facebooks page plugin (found here: developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-plugin ) but it doesn't seem to work now that we've started using JFBConnect. Is this to be expected? It looks like the calls to Facebook sdk.js aren't working.

Could you tell me a URL where you have the Page Plugin? It'd be easiest to see it in action to see if there are any Javascript errors, etc in the error console.

It looks like there are two inclusions of the sdk.js on the page. Since it sounds as if you had this working before installing JFBConnect, I am assuming that you added this to your page to get the page plugin to work? Please remove your inclusion of it and see if that helps.

Ran across this post as I was having the same problem. I found a workaround that worked for me....

If I put the manual code for the {JFBCFan} module as well as the FB code for the new Page Plugin, both would should up. But once I removed, the {JFBCFan} code, the page plugin would disappear.

What worked for me was to put the generated code for the Page Plugin and then right below the code I put {JFBCFan} (with NO parameters).

This fixed the problem for me and just displayed the newer Page Plugin. Hope this helps someone out.

Just an explanation of why that works for you - by including the JFBCFan tag on the page, this adds the javascript library appropriately. Then without including any parameters for the widget to specify the page to be a fan of, the widget won't load. The javascript will still be included, so when you add the code for the page plugin widget, it will load properly.

That makes sense...

Are there plans to offer a tag that will display the newer Page Plugin rather than the depreciated Like Box that is displayed with the JFBCFan tag?

Thanks.

Yes, I've added this functionality already to be included in the next release of JFBConnect. It will be a smaller release targeting mostly bug fixes, so I am trying to get it out rather soon.
