Just purchased JFBconnect, invite and comment today. Really happy so far! Installation went really smooth following the documentation. Was a little worried about the implementation with Community Builder, Juga and AEC - so far everything works great :-) JFBconnect lets me map FB fields to community builder fields, imports the avatar, creates and enables a user account. Exactly what i needed! Couldn't figure out yet if I can choose where to display the comment plugin. It seems to display on all articles. Thank you for offering such an awesome component!

 

Fanstastic component.

The support from the developers is great, especially considering the porce of the component. There are still a few gotcha's but they are disappearing FAST as SourceCoast is putting in a huge effort on this product. I highly recommend this component. Only reason I did not give it a 5 is because it is still young.
