New updated version 1.3 available from 10. august 2012 This plugin is used to display a list of friends using the Facebook JavaScript API . Then user can select a few people and send them a message for example. The output of Facebook Friend Chooser plugin can be user names or user ID or whole user objects obtained by Facebook Graph API Details This plugin is for all Facebook apps developers who often used FBML fb: multi-friend-selector components to select users friends. This component had several shortcomings and Facebook also announced that from 1. January 2012 will deprecate the FBML language. Facebook friend chooser plugin is based on jQuery therefore it is easy to use and easy to customize. Advantage over Facebook multi friend selector is that the data are not sent to server but it uses only the javascript API . Also you can easily change the appearance of your custom Facebook friend chooser using CSS . Friend chooser uses a wide range of callback functions to meet all your needs.
