I came across JFBAlbum when I was trying to solve two separate problems; 1) I needed a photo gallery that can be viewed on smart phones and 2) My clients expressed a desire to not be duplicating their work with social media and website maintenance. JFBAlbum solves both those problems. My clients love it! The beauty for me is that I don't have to spend my time updating photo galleries because my clients are now happy to do it themselves in the familiar facebook gallery. It was fairly easy to install although, I did run into a small snag because I did not completely understand the instructions to configure it properly. The developer was quick to help me out. I have given JFBAlbum full marks for excellent developer/client communication and a product that is truly useful for a good number of my clients.
This extension installs and configures quickly and integrates very smoothly with Joomla. I have tried many other Facebook photo integration extensions and none of them even come close to the easy and professionalism given by JFBAlbum.
The developer is very friendly and quickly responds to emails. A great extension from a great developer. – I highly recommend this extension to anybody looking for easy to use, low maintenance FB photo integration.

i came across this extension while looking for something else and it was a perfect solution for a client i was working with that had 6GB of images on their server in some other component.
i migrated the site to 2.5 and used JFBAlbum. the site is less than 100MB now. woo hoo!
JFBAlbum is super easy to install, configure and get looking good fast. I'm an intermediate to advanced experience level - yet, i'm confident a beginner can use this extension with ease.
since then, another client has purchased the component and it's working great on their site too (albeit, still in development).
AND
they update this component as fast as they need to when changes at facebook come up. it's incredible. i wish every developer was as on it as afzal. he rocks. i never know there's a problem until my client forwards me the email that they send when there's an update. just awesome.
to those wondering - yes, it's the best $20 bucks spent ever. i am so grateful.
another 5 stars vote. thanks, afzal.

I must give praise to the developer as he has created a great product and has continued to fix errors and release updates, the support received has been top notch. The product itself is great and has simplified galleries so much. 100% recommended. Thanks!
Saves hours of duplicated effort! Use this extension to create and keep current your website's photo album pages by displaying a gallery of the albums you've already uploaded & captioned on your facebook page. This extension creates the thumbnails, sets up the lytebox slideshow AND includes the captions. Syncing any changes made to your facebook albums can be set to a variety of schedules - I have mine set to once/day. The new version, 2.5, adds a feature to specifically exclude individual albums via their id - very flexible. Bonus - support is super fast and fixed my problem right away. Keep up the good work, A.H., your product is wonderful!
I love this extention, I searched and tried many gallery options to sync facebook page albums with ease with joomla but nothing was was I needed, specially if your end user has the only web experience of uploading images to their facebook account and nothing else, THIS is the perfect extension for that and is also very easy to setup.
I also like the support the developer has given after the purchase. He has sent updates and fixes notices almost inmediatelly everytime Facebook decides to change something in their code again.

This extension is perfect! It connects your facebook pictures to your Joomla website in a very easy way.
I had a small issue, but in no time this issue was solved thanks to te great support!

All Joomla Extensions should be this easy to use. Installed JFBAlbum, added a module and updated options, then added the module to an article (loadposition). Worked Great!! Had a question about default settings- emailed Md. Afzal Hossain - got correct answer quickly. Well worth the money!!!
This plugin is now one of my favorites. I didn't have a single issue with installation. Setting it up was more simple than i could have imagined. i really can't believe how well this works. This is the best money i've spent on an extension by far. I had one question about the component and the support responded within minutes. components like this with support like this are extremely rare.
This is, quite simply, the greatest photo gallery available for Joomla, because it is not a photo gallery for Joomla!
I have spent YEARS trying to find something that works well, looks good, and most importantly is easy for my clients to use. PhocaGallery has been the best option, but it has still had its issues.
This is so awesome because it doesn't do anything except embed your existing Facebook galleries. Why have 2 separate galleries? Why upload photos twice? Facebook already has the best user-managed photo gallery system available, and this allows the user to work with their photos in an environment they're already familiar with, and have them available on their own website automagically!
I'd give it 10 stars if that were and option. Best $20 I've ever spent.

I purchased this when it was just a module and was extremely impressed with the module and the support from the developer (See my post below as Jason La Due). I just received the update with the component feature and installed it on a clients website and I must say, it is AMAZING!!
I have fought with several different photo galleries over the years and although I was able to use several of them, it was always difficult explaining to my clients about upload size limits, photo resizing, and the details of how to get complicated galleries to work. Facebook has a powerful and easy to use photo system and this Component and Module make it so easy to utilize and display your Facebook albums it is crazy!
Thanks for such an amazing extension!!!

I installed this extension so a client could maintain the photo gallery on the website via their Facebook albums, it works like a charm.
I also used the NoNumber Modules Anywhere extension to insert an album into an article. I was having a problem configuring the JCE Editor to use the Insert Module button to insert a module (containing a facebook album) in articles. It was not a JFBAlbum issue but a JCE Editor problem however the developer was very gracious and helped me configure JCE Editor to properly use the Insert Module button. Excellent technical support even when the issue was not with the extension. Well worth the money spent.
I am so glad I do not have to explain to clients about image resizing & optimizing for photo albums on the website. They already know how to upload albums to facebook!

This extension is just what is ment to be.
It's simple and the support just great.
This is the first extension that deserve my First JED review, and i allready tried hundreds of them.
So, if you need the features that it was developed to do, don't waist more time and aquire it.
Just great!

This is a great extension. Simple yet a lot of functionality. And what's even better : the support is excellent. It seems to me that these people never sleep. Configuration is easy and the results look great!
I used this extension on a photography website, the owner is very active on Facebook and loved the idea of being able to add photos on Facebook and have them appear on her website.
It is very easy to install and to setup, the website is very detailed in its installation and use as well.
After a recent FB change the website broke, I emailed the developer and he had a fix for us very quickly. Excellent support!

My Clients love this module and I love it because it is so easy to implement. It worked great right from the start.
No installation or implementation issues for most of the sites I am using it with except for my own business site and my issue is just because I am using SSL on my site but Facebook passes the thumbnail links via http, not https. I emailed the developer and received a response very quickly with an attempt to work around the problem but in the end, it is simply the limitations of working with Facebook itself, not a problem with the Module. The developer was very helpful and even though the problem was because of Facebook, he tried to help find a solution.
All in all, I highly recommend this module to everyone. My plan is to actually use this module to implement photo galleries on some of my clients websites. Most photo galleries have issues with photo sizes when you are on a shared hosting server so I can have my clients simply use Facebook's powerful servers and photo processing system to upload to and store images and implement the module to display them on the websites very nicely.
