Hello!

I am using JFBConnect 6.5.3 in Joomla 3.4.8. I published in my home page SCSocial Widget (for Facebook comments), SCSocial Stream (channels Twitter and Facebook), and JFBC Social Share components. Ia have these problems:

a) SCSocial Widget allow user to publish comments in my home page using my accounts!! Have a look here: www.venturaluca.com/portal As you can see in the module ("Lascia il tuo commento facebook") a user/guest can post a comments using MY Facebook accounts (see section "comments as") even if he hasn't logged on my web site!! How come? Obviously a user should postacomments ONLY using HIS OWN Facebook account!

b) SCSocial Stream seems that can be linked only to Twitter or Facebook pages but I need to link it to my Twitter/Facebook's profile (because I have also a Facebook/Twitter profile): is it possibile? If yes, how can I do it?

c) JFBC Social Share: I would like to have a view of the component in the front-end of my web site like you have in the home page of Sourcecoast (that is to say all the social icons contained in a rectangle) because this view is more pleasant. Instead now I can't in succeed in having it in my web site (www.venturaluca.com/portal ). How can I do?

Thanks a lot in advance.

a) I don't see that, and I don't think what you describe is possible. The Facebook Comments box doesn't have any method to let you attribute all comments to a specific user. It's all based on how you are logged into Facebook.com at the time. It doesn't matter how or even if you are currently logged into your site though. When I see the Comment box on your site, it asks me which of my accounts I want to comment as -- my personal account or a few Facebook Pages I manage.

b) There's no such thing as a Twitter Page vs a standard profile. We support any stream type in Twitter that you can authenticate on your site with.
For Facebook, we currently only support Pages and Groups. The next release of JFBConnect, due around April, allows for Channel types of user profiles as well.

c) Our settings for the JFBCSocialShare module are below, which puts a white background box on it so it seems to stand above your content:
Position: Float
Margin: 5px
Padding: 5px 0px 0px 5px
Background Color: #fff
Float Position from Top: 3000
Float Position from Left: 3000

I hope that helps!

Hello Alex!

About point a) I assure you that the problem I explained to you happens!! In fact if you try to connect to:

www.venturaluca.com/portal

and you try to post a comment in the module with title "Lascia il tuo commento Facebook", you can check that you are able to do it with whatever my account even if you haven't logged in !!!!! (that is to say you can do it as "guest"). Like you can see from the screen shoot in attach you can post a comment with my Facebook account "Luca Ventura" for example....!!!

About point c) I tried to set your settings but I obtain a rectangle with no rounded corners and wit too much space between the social icons and the bottom line of the rectangle (look at: www.venturaluca.com/portal). How can I solve this problem? I would like to have a rectangle with rounded corners and with not too much space between the social icons and the bottom line of the rectangle...

Thanks,

Luca

As noted above, the Facebook comments box doesn't check if you are logged into your site.. only if you are logged into Facebook.com. In your image above, you must be logged into Facebook.com

I just posted to your page with my account. Here's a screenshot:

We don't have all the style options to do what you want. Your template is setting a large font-size as the default, which is why there is space. I'd recommend adding the following to your template to fix the spacing and add the corners:
.jfbcsocialshare {
    border-radius: 3px;
    border: solid 1px black;
    line-height: normal;
}
That should get you close, but you'll still likely need to adjust the margins, padding and some other parameters to suit your needs.

I hope that helps,
Alex

Hello!!

About point a) I have understood how your SCSocial Widget module works....In other words I saw my Facebook accounts in this module because, even if I wasn't logged in my web site, I was logged in Facebook!!! But how can your module check that I am connected in Facebook or not?? :-(

Thanks,

Luca

Glad we could help explain.

But how can your module check that I am connected in Facebook or not?? :-(

Our module is using Facebook's own Comments plugin. It's completely controlled by Facebook so they are able to detect if you are logged in or not. There is *no* way for us to dis-allow comments if the user isn't actually logged into your site.

I hope that helps explain,
Alex
