I have Menalto Gallery 2 embedded into my Joomla site, as well as K2 and Eventlist. I see mention that this will integrate with K2 but is there flexibility with making this work with Eventlist and Gallery 2, as far as the feeds and the linking? (Feeds more for Eventlist, Linking more for the Gallery2 images).

How much tweaking would be necessary to install and utilize everything? Will provide a link to the existing site if it may help gauge an answer and/or complexity needed to integrate this.

Thanks!

Justin,
We definitely have some specific integration for K2. However, it's pretty easy to add the social buttons to other extensions very easily. If you edit the template files for any other extension, you can easily add the {JFBCLike} {SCGooglePlusOne} {SCTwitterShare} {JLinkedShare} tags and the social buttons will show up. Additionally, you can easily add our Open Graph tags (similar to the above) to the template as well to let Facebook or LinkedIn know what the title, description, and image should be when shared into the user's profiles.

I'm honestly not sure what you mean about the feeds that you're looking for with Eventlist, but if you can describe more, we can let you know if it should be easy to implement.

Hope that helps explain, and of course, we can help you if you run into issues trying to implement things.

Thanks,
Alex

Gallery wasn't really built for Joomla. It was intended to be a standalone Photo Gallery system. It is bridged into Joomla and some of its components are used but it is still pretty much its own entity within Joomla. Would the methods you spoke of with adding extensions elsewhere work with bridged content such as this?

Jhmac,
Wow, I was just going over posts where I wasn't the last to respond and just realized I never got back to this one. Very sorry for the delay. I do see you subscribed, so if you do run into issues, just let us know.

As for your question here about the Gallery extension, I'm actually pretty familiar with it as I run another site with Gallery. However, that site isn't bridged to Joomla, so I don't know as much about that aspect. Basically, (for all bridged software to Joomla), if the content is 'pulled' from the other extension and displayed within your Joomla template, generally, JFBConnect should work just like normal, easy-tags and all. The main thing is that our 'tags' (and most other features) work using our JFBConnect System plugin. If that is executed on the page, it parses out the tags and replaces them with the correct info for Facebook to use. So, if the bridge is executing those plugins on the output, you should be good to go.

As mentioned, if you run into issues, just let us know. Once again, I apologize for the delay, and hope all is well with your site(s)!

Thanks,
Alex
