JFBCLiveStream

The Live Stream plugin lets your users share activity and comments in real-time as they interact on your Joomla site during a live event. This functionality is great for setting up live interviews between you and your guests, have a conversation about things happening on your site, or having a group comment on an event (football/soccer game, etc) in real-time as it happens.

How to Add a Facebook Live Stream to Joomla

JFBConnect gives you 2 easy methods to add the Facebook Live Stream to your site: either through the JFBCLiveStream module or the JFBCLiveStream easy-tag, as described below.

JFBCLiveStream Module

The JFBCLiveStream module, included with JFBCConnect, is an easy way to use the Joomla administrator interface to add a live stream event to your whole site, or any section or page within your site. Since it's a standard Joomla module, all the available parameters for the Facebook live stream are easily accessible, such as unique ID for the livestream, whether to post comments to the users wall, the width, and height.

As with any Joomla module, you can set the JFBCLiveStream module to show in any template position, on any specific (or all) menu items of your site, and whether guest, registered, or special users can view it.

JFBCLiveStream Easy-Tag

With the JFBConnect easy-tags, it's very easy to add the Facebook live stream to any Joomla article, custom HTML module, template or other area of your site. This is great for when a module just won't work, or you want even more customization for the live stream widget. To use the easy-tag, simply include any of the following snippets into your site's content, and JFBConnect will take care of the rest:

{JFBCLiveStream}

{JFBCLiveStream width=300 height=300 event_app_id=115066565226000 via_url=http://www.sourcecoast.com always_post_to_friends=false}

The last tag above is what's used, in this Joomla article, to insert the Facebook Live Stream directly on this page!
