Great Plugin Now it is working perfect with my Website Thank you Very much
please help im not geeting this part..
where do i find this?? in my ftp? storage?
route-to-your-elgg/mod/fconnect>
@zotek you have to create an "app" on Facebook for the plugin to connect with... like http://apps.facebook.com/thebluegym - the instructions are on the facebook developer pages - http://developers.facebook.com/?ref=pf
You set up cron to run using CPanel on your hosting provisers site... instruction in the elgg docs. Running cron daily should do, unless anyone else knows better.
what i dont get is "Once you have created your app, under 'connect' you need to enter a Connect URL (route-to-your-elgg/mod/fconnect/) and Account preview UR"
where is the under connect?
To be honest I can not remember what I did. The Readme instructions in the plugin look pretty straight forward and say:
To use:
1) Go to Facebook and register your site as an app to obtain an API key and secret - http://www.facebook.com/developers/createapp.php
2) Once you have created your app, under 'connect' you need to enter a Connect URL and Account preview URL - these will both be your Elgg site URL
3) Enable the plugin, enter your api key and secret and you are ready to go
ok i did all what instruction says..so this is only for people if they want to login with FB?..is this suppose to iframe? that users can able to see whats in there FB pages??
check out my testing site..see if this is right..thank you.

Mark this is good! Is there a Facebook booster for the main page, and also one for individual profiles, so people can say hey look at me and look at the site!
Thanks so much ! works like a charm. Yes as @TahoeBilly mentioned if there is a way they can say"hey I just upload some thing here !" or if admins can post on their profile this user post a blog here or something like that it would be so great. But I am already happy with this one :) Thanks again.
This plugin handles the basic registration and synchronisation of data for a profile and email address. Dave from Solution Grove is working on additional functionality which will ultimately be released to the community. The Graph API is a great tool, and it is possible to make an elgg site a Facebook "slave", but that is for real developers to work out or other fiddlers like me (or you?!) to fund.
If you are interested in further development, drop me a line.
Is that due to this plugin or for example Profile Manager?
@Gillie, the plugin pulls information into certain standard profile fields, and these are fixed. If you want to use custom fields the user must un-synchronise their facebook account. At least this is what I think it means.
If the member sync'ed with their Facebook account. is it posible for the user to login with facebook and is it posible for the admin to have the user information?
I really like to see it working with Profile Manager's profile ... according to PM's popularity i think a lot of elgg users would appreciate this .
@idiotter Super... let's hope someone can develop that or fund it perhaps? You would have to ask Kevin or some other developer what is possible.
Profile Manager is simply overriding the Profile PlugIn's $profile_defaults array - so of course FBC can detect if Profile Manager in enabled and feed to it's custom profile fields the relevant FB fields ;-) oe will just code that into FBC... ;-X
This is the same plugin that I seen on here a long time ago it seems or am I not correct??
This has been reengineered by Kevin, who wrote the original, so it is not the same, as it says above :-)
i try install, but no sinc the image profile.
What i have to do?
sorry for my english
@eric munoz... follow the instructions above, repeated bolow:
1) Go to Facebook and register your site as an app to obtain an API key and secret - http://www.facebook.com/developers/createapp.php
2) Once you have created your app, under 'connect' you need to enter a Connect URL and Account preview URL - these will both be your Elgg site URL
3) Enable the plugin, enter your api key in the plugin settings and the secret and you are ready to go
thanks , now work .
:-)
It is working fine with syncing the Username and and status updates from FB but not the image. Is there any thing that I should do for the image rather than applying the API and secret keys?
I get this error when connecting: "The field form is lost or __ts __token"
Any Idea??
thankx!
dos this work with elgg 1.7.4?
Isn't there a possibility to have it sync with Profile Manager ? I need this.
I was wondering the same as @ocean oc, is there anyone out there that has had success in updating members Facebook profile image? Also, where did people insert their cron.php? And what parts of the cron.example did they have to edit in order to make it work properly? Thanks!
