Here's a quick story.
Downloaded JFBConnet and I was pleasantly surprised that it worked like a charm. No snags or stress. Everything just worked...locally.
I got the site going on my host server and it didn't work! I went through everything, trying to figure things but couldn't. After reading an exchange on sourcecoast's forum, and finally a PM.
Alex from Sourcecoast went above and beyond and found that I had set up access level which was causing the problem. JFBConnect was not the problem and now, things are working just fine.
Having worked with subscription services and host servers who offer "technical support", Sourcecoast has reminded me that excellent customer support still exists for people who are passionate and are experts about their product.
Thank you Alex and needless to say, with the popularity of Facebook and this expertly created extension, I couldn't recommend JFBConnect more.

If you need Facebook login look no further! Besides being a superb extension, Alex from Sourecoast also properly have the best support in the bizz, which can be kind of vital for such important extensions.
I can highly recommend this extension!

I like when an extension is thorough, neat, clear, precise and really useful features. I have installed this extension and setup everything without needing support. I got into some issue while inserting custom tags of this component into another extension's language file, which was resolved in timely and knowledgeable manner. 5 stars to this component!
I was looking for a tool that would replace the button "Login with Facebook" native JomSocial and luckily I found the JFB Connect. I am very happy and pleased with this tool and also with the support fast and efficient support team Sourcecoast. I recommend JFB Connect!...
If you want to integrate your website with Facebook look no further! I am a big fan of this extension after using it on several of my sites now. I pretty much do not create a site with out this installed these days.
JFBConnect features all the Facebook integrations and the best bit is Sourcecoast.com's documentation on each an every feature. They even cover off in detail on how to configure the Facebook side well when the extension does not do it for you anyway!
I have used it with other social extensions like JomSocial and CommunityBuilder usually just to make use of the profiles and easy registrations with no problems at all.
Future Dev:
Would love to see a Kunena integration in the future then it would be the complete package for me. I know its a Facebook integration but perhaps the ability not to publish to Facebook everytime and just your own activity feed?
I am a intermediate Joomla! and web user and this is the only extension I have ever used with out some sort of issue so had to add a review. Good work, keep it coming.

I Use this extension in 3 of my websites. Till now, I don't have any issues which I always have with others. I should really appreciate the developers with this complement :)
The JFBConnect is honestly the best most brilliant extension in the entire Joomla world.
They deserve an award of excellence. You can do so many things with the extension in so many ways. It has a learning curve which totally pays off and the documentation is so clean and organized that makes the whole journey fantastic. The support is without a doubt the best i've seen all those years that i'm involved in this business. Thank you

I've been using joomla since there were less than 1000 extensions in the extension directory... YEARS & YEARS of fighting with crappy FB plugins, modules, components, and suites to try and interface my client's joomla sites with facebook in various ways...
JFBConnect is effortless if you just read the documentation or watch the video tutorials they actually provide... I know... Crazy concept... ACTUAL DOCUMENTATION.... :)
Oh... and then if/when you do hit a snag or have a question.... ALEX and the JOOMTASTIC support team will gladly help you... And I am not talking the kind of support that 99% of joomla companies provide... Where your question is simply restated to you after 24 -48hrs of waiting... so it takes days or weeks to get things done!
Not saying they guarantee this level of service... But I asked a question at 6PM PST (after hours)... and had perhaps the most thorough answer I've ever received from a joomla support team by 10PM... Explaining with multiple examples of how I could accomplish something that was doable but not exactly described in the docs or the functionality of the app!
YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED... AND NO... I DIDN'T GET PAID TO WRITE THIS!

Robust integration. No noticeable drag on page load, though it will ultimately depend on network connection with Facebook (and other social networks) server reply. Great support. Active development and forum.
This extension has many features and does require some patience setting it up. Well worth the time investment.

I had asked the guys at Jomsocial whether their FB integration would accomplish what JFBConnect does (this was before I knew about JFBConnect) as I saw some of the advanced features e.g. seeing who of your friends had liked a site, on some other sites. I was told I shouldn't expect features like this as these other sites like TripAdvisor.com had tens of thousands of dollars to spend on custom features like this. Lo and behold I discovered JFBConnect and it seems to do everything I was asking for.
What's more is that the product is easy to implement; it really is a code snippet placed in files (it's easier to learn this than you might think) and presto it works.
What's even more is their support is world class. They seem to have several guys named Alex (couldn't possibly be the same guy - smile) who responds in a very timely way and goes above and beyond to get things working for you.
I don't give five stars very easily, but this really deserves it.

Facebook login configurations was easy to do. Just play around the tabs and explore the different things you can tweak, and it should be easy. If you get stuck on anything, their forum support is quick and amazing! I highly recommend this extension. :-)
