Question

I have now managed to get a status posted when a user clicks a link. I would now like a status to be posted when they first login with Facebook and accept the permissions.

Please help! I am using this code for the login button:

<fb:login-button ></fb:login-button>

Be specific with me I’m new to the Facebook Connect.

Since you managed to authenticate a user and post from a link, then things will be easy, just on the auth.login event call your posting method, something like this would do:

window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
    FB.init({appId: '<?php echo $this->facebook->getAppId(); ?>', status: true, cookie: true,
        xfbml: true});

    FB.Event.subscribe('auth.login', function() {
        postStatus();
    });
};
(function() {
    var e = document.createElement('script'); e.async = true;
    e.src = document.location.protocol +
        '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
    document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
}());

function postStatus(){
    var body = 'Reading Connect JS documentation';
    FB.api('/me/feed', 'post', { message: body }, function(response) {
        if (!response || response.error) {
            alert('Error occured');
        } else {
            alert('Post ID: ' + response.id);
        }
    });

}

Result:

EDIT:
Also make sure you have the right permissions in your case publish_stream:

<fb:login-button perms="read_stream,publish_stream"></fb:login-button>
