JFacebook Post to Wall on Register

Here are some quick instructions of the use of the "Post to Wall on Register" plugin for JFacebook users.

The Plugin

Install it
Configure the above settings to what ever you like

The JF Login Module

This part is important. To be able to post any information to a user's Facebook page you have to have "PERMISSION". In this case that means the "Publish Stream" permission. That means you will need to ask the user at registration for that particular access.

In the JF Login Module configuration do the following:

Check the 'Yes' option in the publish_stream permission parameter
Also in the JF Login Module: Check the 'yes' option in the 'Use the custom permissions below' parameter

while using the Facebook Javascript SDK. It would seem that doing so interrupts the defining of FB.provide and even FB.login and FB.logout.Â

We didn't dive into the cause to far because we really shouldn't be using Share Buttons anyway in external sites. We should favor the Like button because they are identical to shares as far as Facebook is concerned.Â
