TDOC Facebook Display

Introduction

The module displays a Facebook page [suggested to be in a sidebar]
8th Jan 2025: Please Note: It seems that it does not display groups which one has to join . . . no idea why not. Probably a privacy setting.

The Facebook API Key is embedded in the code.

Updated to Joomla 5 [and later versions] on 3rd May 2024.

The settings include default height and width.
- Base URL. The address of your facebook page e.g. https://www.facebook.com/LinnPark
- Show Posts - defaults to "Yes". Suggested that you use this.
- Show Faces - defaults to "Yes". Up to you.
- Hide Cover Photo - defaults to "No". Up to you.
- Small Header - defaults to "Yes". Up to you.
- Number of Connections - defaults to 25 - suggested by Facebook.
- Width - defaults to 300. Suggest that you use the right or left sidebar positions, but up to you.
- Height - defaults to 700. See above.

Please do not forget to enable the module, and set its position, as well as on which pages it is to be shown.

Do NOT forget to set the menu assignment - otherwise it will not show up.

The extension has been translated into English [en-GB].

The Source code and notes on its development are shown on the web site.

The J3 and J4 version which also runs in J5 compatibility mode is available and can be downloaded from the web site

Functionality

Looked like a simple to use extension. Installation was easy and setting up was simple

Ease of use

Simple to follow install and setting up. Adding the page information was just copying the FB ID into the correct position.

Support

None. When it failed to display the Facebook page, I emailed the support contact but never received a reply. I really would like to use it.

Documentation

Good, easy to read in plain English with easy to follow instructions.

I used this to: I wanted to display posts from my facebook page on the site but sadly it does not work.
