Can JFBC post on subscriber's FB Timeline?
Example: users subscribes to the site, then post things like audio/texts on subscribers timeline on daily basis.

Thanks

You can't post just anything to their Timeline every day. You can post activity that the user has taken on your site, like reading an article, listening to a song, joining a group, or uploading a photo, just to name a few. We have a demo video showing some of the types of actions we support with JomSocial at the link below:

That's just for JomSocial, but similar features exist for other extensions or can be implemented on your own. If you have specific Timeline entries you're looking to post, let us know and we can tell you how you could do it with JFBConnect.

Thanks,
Alex

The goal is when a user/member subscribes we can post audio/text message to subscriber's wall on daily basis.
Is that possible? Ive read somewhere that FB removed the ability to post on someones wall.

Facebook didn't remove the ability to post to a user's wall. That's still possible and something that JFBConnect can easily do. What Facebook has done recently is revise their App Policies to state that the user should be aware of any posts being made on their behalf to their Timeline. Many apps, in the past, posted on behalf of the user in promotional ways. If you do that now, your app will likely be marked as spam and (if that happens enough) possibly blocked by Facebook.

If you want to post to the users Timeline, you should use the Open Graph Actions capabilities of JFBConnect. If you want to notify the uper of updates on your site, you should use Request system (part of JFBConnect), which will notify just that user of changes. It won't go to their friends, but that's the point, it will notify the user and not be 'spammy'.

I hope that helps explain, but if you have other questions, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex
