Joomla Facebook Connect 4

Written by Saran on , Updated February 5, 2016
With Joomla Facebook Connect 4, Facebook users can quickly register and login on your Joomla websites. This free Joomla extension was re-written from ground up and should work out of the box. Facebook Login module can be configured to show only login button or form.

  • Facebook PHP Sdk v4 requires PHP 5.4 or greater, So make sure you are up-to-date.
  • I no longer maintain extension for older Joomla 1.5 and 2.

  • Please do recommend and review this extension at Joomla Extension Directory.

How to Update

Just un-install old Facebook Connect component and module from "Extension Manager", and install the latest extension downloaded from here.

What happens to my old connected users after update?

Nothing! component uses same old database table, so you'll not lose your old Facebook connected users.

Change Log

  • 4.0.1 Minor fixes
  • 4.0 (Joomla 3) Numerous fixes, removed "Post to Wall" feature, updated Facebook SDK to v4
  • 4.x No longer supported!
  • I have created a version that works with PHP below 5.5. It also addresses some problems with custom templates not having a "raw" type document. And finally, it contains a hungarian translation. I could not find this projet on GitHub or bitbucket. So dear Saaraan, please let me send you this version somehow, and the you may merge the changes with your version. Thanks.
