Component body

Facebook Stream provides a customisable block that displays a stream of posts from a Facebook page.

Customisable settings include:

  • The number of posts to display in the stream
  • The types of posts to include in the stream
  • Limiting posts to those created by the Facebook page itself
  • The maximum number of requests to make to Facebook in order to retrieve the specified number of posts that meet your selection criteria
  • The length of time to cache the stream data

Because this module makes use of Facebook's Graph API, you will need to create a Facebook application at: https://developers.facebook.com/apps

Facebook Pull also provides a block to display Facebook posts, but it does not provide options for filtering the posts that are displayed. Also, while Facebook Pull has a limit for the number of posts to display, Facebook Stream can be configured to make multiple requests in order to display the number of posts set on the settings page.
