Two Questions about Facebook Integration Features

Glad to hear you're getting things setup well. Hopefully the below answers your questions.

1) Facebook's recent changes to their API limited a lot of Groups (and other) integration. To my knowledge, with groups, you can only post to groups that you are an admin of. That's Facebook's way of preventing a user to join a group and then blast contents of their site to that group in an automated way. As the admin, that's your right.
With that said, for setting up the Group, please make sure your Facebook *Application* is in development mode. Once it goes Live, you'll need to go through the review process to continue taking advantage of some of the group integration (while some of the integration will continue to work even without review.. it's a bit of a confusing mess right now).

2) Group and Page posts don't directly include a link to the image. The post will have a link to the page from your site, and that URL on your site will have some Open Graph tags setup for it that describe the page. Those tags are what help Facebook generate a thumbnail of your content to be posted. You can choose to hide or show an image in your article, but we can't prevent Facebook from scraping the Open Graph tags on a page.. that's what they are there for.

You *could* create separate channels for each category of content on your site. So, if you have a category of articles without any images, create a Channel to post any new content from that category to your Groups that don't want images. Do the same for your categories of articles with images. You could then also create a Channel that posts content from both categories to groups that accept posts with or without images.

3) You should see all groups you're an admin of. Again, please test in Development mode. If you're seeing Groups you're just associated with, but not an admin of, maybe I'm wrong and you can post / pull in the stream from, those groups. I'd have to investigate further though.

Thanks,
Alex

2) There's a few options here. To setup a channel, first you need to setup an "Open Graph Object" in JFBConnect. The Open Graph object defines content from your site that can be posted to social networks. You can create multiple open graph objects and they can have a multi-tier relationship. So, let's say you have the following article categories on your site:
- Vehicles
-- Cars
-- Trucks
With that structure, you can create the following Open Graph Objects:
* Trucks - A Joomla - Article object that applies to all articles in the 'Trucks' sub-category
* Cars - A Joomla - Article object that applies to all articles in the 'Cars' sub-category
* Vehicles - A Joomla - Article object that applies to all articles in both the Trucks and Cars sub-categories (and any articles in the Vehicles category if there are more general articles you put there).

Then, you can setup 3 channels, one for trucks, cars and vehicles. Each channel would be linked to the FB Page or Group you want and only post from the category(ies) you want to want to have posted to that group.

2a) The above is all for auto-posting of new content. If you setup a Channel you (or an admin of your site) can also always go to a page and use the "Create Post" button in the social toolbar that JFBConnect shows to admins. With the "Create Post" option, you can manually post the current page to any of the Channels you've setup. That's an easy way to push one post to multiple networks at once along with a comment/intro for the post.

3) Let us know the full message you're getting for the "Facebook API Error #200" and we can help investigate further as to what is causing it. Usually, it's something with the permissions not being granted fully for the user and easy to overcome once we understand things.

I hope the above helps. Integration is definitely a bit complicated. We try to streamline and smooth things out, but that doesn't meant there won't be any hiccups
