Hey this question may take a couple attempts to get it understood. For the Unbridled Rider site we would like to find if there is a way to pull the content off the Facebook Fan page and display it in a module on UR using one of your app modules.

I'm assuming the JFBCFan module/tags don't do what you're looking for? Are you simply trying to pull the stream in text form, and you want to be able to style it however you want?

I'm sure we can narrow down what you're looking for, and hopefully help you implement it if it's not something we already do.

I got some clarification. If you visit www.facebook.com/unbridledrider, you get the fan page. What my client wants is to grab everything from the center column including images and text that begins with the first WALL post, meaning everything after the "Write something" box.

Bob,
There's no easy way to do this, at least with any of Facebook's widgets. If you needed to (and want to make a lot of code), you can fetch the wall posts in a JSON variable, parse it out, and display it how you want.

To get a sense of what I mean, log in with Facebook, and go to the following page:
developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/

Scroll down a little bit, and click the link for "Friends" at the top of the 2nd block. This will show you your friends. Most importantly, it will shove your access token into a URL. Leave that long string at the end, but update the main URL to be:
https://graph.facebook.com/UnbridledRider/feed?access_token=.....
You'll see the entire feed for the FB Page. We can help you get this feed more easily using JFBConnect, but you'd need to be able to break everything out, format it, make images into images, etc. It can get ugly, and it may change from Facebook (though not common).

If interested, let us know, and I can give some pointers, but it's not something we do in JFBConnect as it'd be tough to do in a generic enough way to make everyone happy.

Hope that helps explain..
Alex
