Description
It is an extension (plugin) for Joomla that allows you to insert a Facebook article (post) in an article
I published it on github.
I maintain the source code on Github/plg_jofacebook
Setting up Facebook
It is necessary to enter your Facebook Developer ID in the settings of the com_jofacebook component
- Create a Facebook ID on the site https://developers.facebook.com/apps/
- enter your Facebook Developer ID in the com_jofacebook component settings https://<monsite>/administrator/index.php?option=com_config&view=component&component=com_jofacebook
Inserting a Facebook post in an article
- Either directly in the article
{fbkpost profile=JLTRYCOACHING;post=627790250371232}
- Either by using the insertion button
This one displays an input popup of the profile id and the post id
Once entered the profile id and the post id press the button JOFBK_VIEW_POST to preview the post and
on the button JOFBK_ADD_POST to add the pseudo-code associated with the plugin and parameters
How to find the profile ID and post ID of an article
- Show post click on the 3 dots at the top right
- Click on embed a popup appears on a site
- click on advanced settings
- click to get the code
- The url to look at is this one.
cite="https://www.facebook.com/JLTRYCOACHING/posts/627790250371232:627790250371232"
the id profile is JLTRYCOACHING
the post id is 627790250371232:627790250371232
Case of digital ID profiles
Some users have not provided their profile ID in text form.
Ex:
https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1620677724837506&id=1468636890041591
In this case the profile id corresponds to the id and the post id to the story-fbid
profile id is 1620677724837506
the post id is 1620677724837506
