How do I integrate Facebook in my Joomla site?

Q. How do I add a Facebook login, facebook like, and facebook comments to my Joomla website? I want to skip the normal Joomla user login with a "login with Facebook" button.

A. You should use the Facebook Connect for the Facebook Login. There are Joomla extensions for every single Facebook functionality you can think of. The integration can be a bit tricky.

We can help you with that as we have been working on Joomla websites for a long time now (and we did the Facebook integration for many of our clients). See: http://www.itoctopus.com/joomla

Why do I get Chinese When I click Login Facebook?
Q. Google search, click on Login to Facebook, window opens to some kind of displaced picture of oriental writing.

A. First, make sure you are actually at facebook.com. Instead of searching for the site, just enter the URL into your browser's address bar.

Secondly, it's possible your language setting was changed. Go to http://www.facebook.com/editaccount.php?language to set it back to English.

Is there a disadvantage to using the login with facebook widget on my site?
Q. I've got a new classifieds site and would like to use a login with facebook widget just to encourage more people to register since it's faster.

Is there any downside to this? Do I get their emails to send them updates just like with manual registrations?

A. As Far as i Know there is no Downsides to it
