You will have noticed - for some time now - the implementation of some features of the Facebook Social Network to external portals.
Among these, for example, the ability to comment on articles and relaunch the content on your dashboard, click on the "like" when you come across interesting content (and even here in revitalizing the content material), etc etc.
This is a step by step guide to implement these kinds of utilities in your Joomla portal.
1) First go here and procuriamoci MyApi, the component that will allow us to implement Facebook in Joomla: http://www.myapi.co.uk/myApi-SuperInstaller.zip?v=1.07.041
2) Install the package on our website from Joomla Admin Panel Extensions ------ ---- Install / Uninstall
3) Once the package is installed make sure that everything is "ON" and that the two modules are placed in line in our template. So check these items:
Modules:
mod_myapi_fbLogin
mod_myapi_fbFan
Plugin:
myApiConnect
myapiuser
myApiAuth
myApiContent
4) Good. If everything is up and we are well positioned to proceed with the configuration itself. We reach therefore the Administration Panel of the Components tab ----- ------ MyApi Connect
5) We need two keys: the API and secret ones. These two keys are for Facebook application that we will create to interact with our Joomla site. MyApi invites us to click on the link to create a new brand, so you can get these two codes. Let us follow the procedure, we create a new application, save everything, copy and code Bees MyApi secret code in our component, we leave on the SI check the automatic configuration and click Save.
6) After a few minutes needed for the upgrade of our operations on the server, everything should work. But sometimes it can happen not be successful passage of the configuration must then complete by hand. Just bring up http://www.facebook.com/developers/apps.php and choose the application you just created for integration with Joomla, then go to "Edit Settings" tab and "Log" to enter data Joomla site to be connected in CONNECT BASE URL and DOMAIN.
Insert URL in the address of the CONNECT site without www and with a trailing slash. Example: If you enter the site www.sneakpeeks.tv http://sneakpeeks.tv/
In BASE DOMAIN instead just enter the address, even without http://.
Example: If you enter the site www.sneakpeeks.tv sneakpeeks.tv
Save and that's all.
Ps mod_myapi_fbFan To operate the module you need the ID of the facebook page that you want to display on your site. The ID is easily obtainable from the address of the same facebook page, a shortcut is placed in the URL displayed in the browser.
