I'm not sure if this is possible, but I figure I might as well ask. It would be a nice feature.

I already have it setup so that posts from users' facebook pages will post to the community wall. But, I really want that same feature for my business facebook page. Is it possible to link it to my website? Otherwise, each time I post on my business facebook page, I'll just have to copy/paste the info to my website community wall. Not the end of the world, but not user friendly.

So, anyone know how to make this happen?

Can you explain a little more of exactly what you're looking for? We've heard requests that users would like to have articles post to their FB Pages (not possible in JFBC, but something we'd like to implement in an upcoming release), but not as much the other direction (pulling in from FB Page wall to site). How would you want that to work? Where would the new FB Page post 'go'? Into JomSocial stream? If so, as what user?

We do have the JFBCFan module, which can show the most recent stream from your Facebook Page, and has options to remove just about all the other stuff.. so it's just the stream. That may help for what you're looking for. If not though, definitely let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

Hey Alex,

What I'm wanting is for any posts on my facebook business page, www.facebook.com/LaughableNews , to appear on my jomsocial community wall. It happens with my personal page, but there is no way I can see to make it also happen with a business page. More of a pipe dream than anything.

The fan module you mentioned is probably the best route to take. I'm just not sure if I can jam any more modules into my site :) I'll play around and see.

Thanks!

Ryan,
Yeah, not something we do right now. It's actually pretty easy to get a Feed from Facebook.. and we have the logic already to insert it into the JomSocial wall. I've taken a task down for us to investigate further. For an upcoming update, we're planning to do a lot more Page integration (posting snippets of new articles to Page walls, etc). This would go hand-in-hand with that update.. but just don't know whether that would be 4.2 or something later.

For now though, the JFBCFan module is the best suggestion, even though it isn't the same 'seamless' integration that I think you're looking for. The benefit of the Fan module is that your feed gets a distinct area, and won't get pushed to the bottom by other status updates in JomSocial.

Thanks again for the suggestion,
Alex
