Good Evening,

Please can you confirm or clarify a couple of issues for me.

1. Is JFBConnect (Latest Version) compatible with Joomla 2.5?

2. Is JFBConnect (Latest Version) compatible with VirtueMart 2?

3. Can user still register with the site in Joomla 2.5 and will the Captcha still work to ensure they are humans?

4. I noticed on the demo, that when I click on the FB like button it is replaced by a "Confirm" link, then after this is clicked the FB popup window asks for confirmation too. Is is possible to remove the text "confirm" step?

5. Do the Tweet and Google +1 links and icons come with the package?

6. I read the other day that FB is depreciating Tags and moving to Divs. Is the latest version compatible?

7. Does the installer package come with instructions about creating a FB application?

Many thanks for your time.

Tim,
Hopefully, everything is answered below, but if not, let us know:
1) JFBConnect has been tested with the betas and RC of Joomla 2.5. We're still going through our extensive test suite with the final stable release, but aren't expecting any huge problems. We're fully committed to 2.5, and will support any issues that arise.
2) JFBConnect's profile integration currently only works with VM 1.x. We're working to add profile importing to VM 2.x, and expect to have the first plugin release for that out in a few weeks.
3) JFBConnect leaves 'normal' Joomla registration up to Joomla itself. If you have the Captcha feature enabled, JFBConnect doesn't interfere with that. We only add an additional registration process using Facebook credentials.
4) The 'confirm' step on the demo is simply a restriction by Facebook. Since we have so many test users that use that site, they hit the Like button, then undo the Like. It looks spammy to Facebook, so they (automatically) add the "Confirm" step to pages with 'odd' behavior. Most sites will never see that step, and it's not something controllable by JFBConnect.
5) Yes, the Google+1, LinkedIn Share, and Twitter Share buttons are all included and can easily, or automatically be added to different parts of your site.
6) They are moving to a different HTML5 based system. We do not support that yet, as there is no fallback, so older browsers will not display those social widgets. We expect to move to the newer system later this year (as an option), but the current XFBML tags are still fully supported and fully featured solutions from Facebook.
7) We have a full 13 page configuration guide, which includes information on app creation. It can be found:

Hope that helps,
Alex
