Is it possible to somehow get all posts from the Facebook page timeline to show on the Social Stream? At the moment the module only show "official" posts from the Author/admins of the Facebook page. My client wants to show the timeline posts from the users that are the following the page as well. The idea is to make the module more "user interactive".

If this isn't possible, then maybe it could be an option to "tick" off in the channel setup?

Best Regards

Anders,

Yes, looking at our code, it looks like we're currently limiting to only show posts created by the page (meaning admins) and not other users.

To chane this, update /components/com_jfbconnect/libraries/provider/facebook/channel/page.php around line 40 from:
if(array_key_exists('from', $data) && $data['from']['id'] == $pageId)
to
if(array_key_exists('from', $data))

I've also made an issue in our tracker to make this an option in an upcoming release. I'm currently working on cleaning up the Channel creation in the backend for v6.2.4 and this should be able to go in there really easily.

Hi Melissa

Great - worked like a charm! This is a very useful feature, and as you mention yourself, it should be implemented in future releases as an option.
Generally there could be a lot more options and settings under the specific channels, but i'm guessing you're already looking into that.

I couldn't figure out how to make an HTML template override on it though... But it works now with a direct edit on the mentioned file.

We're glad to hear that change worked for you above. It will definitely be a setting in a future release as we agree it's a good option to have. There's always a balance between too many settings and 'just working' though, so we try to tread carefully with each new option.

As for the template override, you won't be able to override the specific file you edited.. that's not a template or view, that's our core code. If you do want to edit the output look and feel, you want to copy the file to edit from:
/media/sourcecoast/themes/scsocialstream/default/
To:
/templates/<YOUR_TEMPLATE>/html/com_jfbconnect/themes/scsocialstream/default/

Best of luck!
Alex
