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.

Download (For Joomla 3.x)

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.
How to obtain Facebook App ID and App Secret : Click here.
Please do recommend and review this extension at Joomla Extension Directory.
Please mention any bug report in comment below (also include your PHP version, Joomla Version).

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.

I too am getting the same error message now when I try to set up this extension up on Facebook's API Version v2.4. I have no issue using this extension on earlier API versions. "Could not get Email address, make sure you are using valid email address at Facebook or have granted the email permission!" Any assistance would be really appreciated.

  I have the same problem too.... Actually this extension doesn't support Facebook API v2.4. If you want to continue to use this extension you need to have Facebook API lower than v2.4. This extension is using Facebook PHP SDK v4 that is deprecated and only support Facebook API lower than v2.4. Facebook API v2.4 needs Facebook PHP SDK v5. He gave this extension for free, so we can't expect him to be always update this code.
