Joomla Module that displays Facebook Fanbox into Joomla 1.5 websites. A lot of people have downloaded module and did not know how to add it and configure so I have created this short tutorial to help you on how to configure Facebook Fanbox for joomla.
Dont forget to review the extension if you like it in Joomla Extensions. Thanks
Module has following parameters:
API Key: Page ID: |
You can obtain Facebooki API key and Page ID by following the following method:
Go to your facebook page and then clicking on Add Fan Box to your site. A new page will open where you will have some text in a box looking like this following,
<script src="http://static.ak.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php/en_US" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">FB.init("THIS IS YOUR API KEY");</script><fb:fan profile_id="THIS IS YOUR PAGE ID" stream="1" connections="10" width="300"></fb:fan><div style="font-size:8px; padding-left:10px"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Wear-Aloud/112854738515">Wear Aloud</a> on Facebook</div>
