Topic-icon 3rd party components' actions to User's Facebook wall

Here is the question on whether JFBConnect can show 3rd party components' actions on User's FB wall:

[ Assuming that I will only have JFBConnect for K2 Users (no JomSocial) ]

1) Let's say I have jReviews or Mosets Tree listing component on my site. Can JFBConnect show the following actions on the User's Facebook wall (with links back to my site):
* User "Claims" a listing
* User creates new or updates his listing
* User adds photos / videos to the listing
* User writes a review
2) I also have k2 blog component on my site. Can JFBConnect show the following actions on the User's Facebook wall (with links back to my site):
* User creates a new blog

I have read JFBConnect's developer documentation, topic: "Facebook Wall Posts from Joomla" -- is that how I achieve the above? And if yes, seem like I have to place that specific peace of code everywhere I what the above actions to be posted back to user's fb wall -- but again, what pages and where particularly it should be placed?

Thanks

What you're looking for would be better suited with Open Graph Actions. These are events (actions a user can take on your site) that will automatically get posted to the user's Timeline. Once on the Timeline, Facebook can decide to also display it on the user's wall or their friends wall, depending on relevance.

Open Graph Actions will be a part of the next release of JFBConnect, due out later this month. We just put out preview blog post about the feature which should explain things a little more:
www.sourcecoast.com/blog/extensions/jfbc...ion-timeline-preview

Basically, we'll have a plugin system for integration with 3rd party extensions. Using the plugins, you'll be able to setup what actions are posted to the user's timeline and how, without having to modify any template or PHP code. For K2, we'll be initially be supporting reading articles, voting and commenting. We'll also have a jReviews plugin, but haven't finalized the features it will support out of the box but I think much of what you mentioned will be in there. More actions will be added as requested by users after the release is out.

You can still use the Facebook Wall Post feature, but as you mentioned, it takes a lot more work to integrate.

Hope that helps explain, but if you have any other questions, just let us know!

Thanks,
Alex
