Summary

FB Likebox is a simple module that provides a configurable block with the latest updates from Facebook for the given account. It is based on the likebox social plugin provided by Facebook:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box. The widget settings are configurable directly in the block and they are available for users with 'administer blocks' permission.

Requirements

  • None.

Installation

Configuration

  • Go to Site > List > 'Theme' in D6 or Structure > Blocks > 'Theme' in D7
  • The block will be called "'Your site name' on Facebook"
  • Click on 'configure':
  • As an alternative, in Drupal 7 you can access the settings directly using the contextual link 'Configure Block'
  • Add the Facebook Page (i.e.: http://www.facebook.com/wikisaber.es) and configure the display and appearance settings.
  • FB Likebox block admin settings
