Facebook Live Stream Module

azriprajwala - June 6, 2009 - 05:27

This module leverages the Facebook Open Stream API. Once installed, the module allows users of the Drupal instance to access their Facebook account and view the real time stream of their friends’ updates from Facebook in a block within their Drupal instance. Users can control the number of posts viewable via the profile settings tab.

To access live stream on their Drupal instance, a user will have to give the application permission to access his/her Facebook account. The module will auto-retrieve and update the Live Stream block .The auto-retrieval interval for the Live Stream, can be configured by site administrator in the block configuration page.

Publish comments, likes and status messages functionality is available in the 2.0-beta1 release. Admin can allow whether the users of the application post comments, likes, status messages through admin/settings/facebook_stream page.

In order to publish to a user's stream, the user must grant your application the publish_stream extended permission. If the user previously granted your application the permission to publish short stories into the News Feed automatically, then you don't need to prompt for this permission in order to call this method.

Before you can prompt for the publish_stream permission, you need to apply for the whitelist. Otherwise, the only Facebook users that can grant your application the publish_stream permission are the developers of your application.

We are currently working on the following features and will update you once we get it up and tested.

2) Provide Facebook Filter Support to the users via the drupal instance.
