I am trying to use a group facebook wall as a news feed for the organization's website. The only way I can seem to get the wall to feed to the webpage is using JFBCFan. This is a viable option, but I wish that there was a way to take away the "Find us on Facebook" and the "like" button. I already have a like button on the front page, I just want the feed to display here. Additionally, am I using this correctly? I don't really want the box to have its own scroll bar, in addition to the scroll bar of the page. I know I can make the box smaller, but then when users view the webpage on a mobile device I get the problem again.

You can view the site in question here: gndveteransmemorial.org/index.php/news-updates

Thanks in advance for the help!

T.J.,
We're planning a new module for later this year which will be much more customizable in looks and content. Right now, the Fan module is your only option for what you're looking for.

With that said, if you disable the "Show Header" option, it will remove the "Find us on Facebook" line at the top. For the scroll-bar, you would have to adjust the height manually to make it large enough for no scroll bar, if that's what you're looking for.

Again, the future module we're planning will hopefully alleviate these limitations, but we not expecting it to be ready for a few months.

I hope that explains, but if you need anything else, just let me know.

Thanks,
Alex

This will work for now. I will look forward to your update.

Ideally, what I wish this could do is that on my "news and updates" page the facebook feed looks like links to articles and then the user can click on a status and it opens up as a new article on the site as if its a Joomla article. I think the only way to do that would be if the plugin created a joomla article when a facebook post was made, but I could be wildly wrong and there is no way to what what I want it to do.
