I think either I making this to complicated or I have confused myself on this. Two questions:
1) Can I steam activity from a facebook page that is not my own? If so how do I configure because I dont want my personal facebook page to have anything to do with it.
2) If I can... Can I have multiple modules displaying each displaying a different facebook stream?

Thank you for assistance!

Enilsen,
Facebook stuff can definitely be confusing, so let us see if we can help. First off, there's no way with JFBConnect (and no easy way with the Facebook API) to display a personal profile stream. Since there's so many privacy settings with personal profiles, it's very difficult to properly display a user's stream (even your own, sometimes) while abiding by Facebook's Terms of Service for the API.

So, with that, you can easily show a Facebook Page's Stream. Pages are the company profile-type pages of Facebook. To display the stream from the admins of a Page, you can use the JFBCFan module (or {JFBCFan} easy-tag). There is a setting for the Page URL to use, which allows you to use duplicates of the module multiple times on your site, each one pulling a different stream.

Please note though that the JFBCFan module, which uses some underlying Facebook interfaces, *only* displays the admin's posts. It won't show user posts to the Page. That's to prevent spam or other 'bad' things from propagating to websites and makes sure the stream is what the admin wants it to be when displayed on other sites.

Hope that all helps, but if you need help configuring the JFBCFan module or easy-tag, just let us know!
