Facebook Page Plugin

Summary

Facebook Page Plugin is a simple module that provides a configurable block with the latest updates from Facebook for any given Facebook Page. It is based on the Facebook Page Plugin provided by Facebook.
The widget settings are configurable directly in the block and they are available for users with 'administer blocks' permission.

Social Plugins

Social Plugins are appropriate when you have a website and want to add some social features, but do not want to host a full-fledged Facebook application. This a relatively quick and easy way to add Like Buttons, Activity Feeds, Recommendations, and more to your website.

Drupal for Facebook takes care of loading and initializing Facebook's javascript libraries. So as the site developer, you need only add simple XFBML tags to your markup. Adding Facebook's markup to your pages is like adding regular HTML tags. Drupal gives you lots of ways to do this, including content (nodes), blocks, and custom code.

Required modules

  • fb.module - which is automatically included when you install modules/fb 3.x

Settings and Configuration

In order to display FBML tags correctly, IE requires the attribute xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" in the <html> tag, which is part of your theme's page.tpl.php file. More detailed information can be found on the Installation page.
