Hi,

I'm going to start this but I wanted firstly to know if anyone did something regarding Facebook?
What I will do is:

first version: Snitz -> Facebook Group page only
  • for each topic posted, the topic name will be added to the Facebook Group page with only the link to
  • for each event posted, the same will happen
second version: Snitz -> Facebook Group page <- Snitz
  • same as above
  • for reply to a message in Facebook, Snitz will have the reply in the forum
My idea is firstly the 1st version, so the Group can have "voice" in Facebook world, but to read more they need to jump to the forum (or the forum would start not to make any sense)

Any thoughts?

Hi balexandre,

Sounds like a great mod smile

Good luck balexandre. This Facebook integration has really been spreading amongst websites. Just 1 click and you can login with your facecbook username.

It would be good if you as the admin can choose/configure which forum update your facebook page :o)

Maybe also having the option to update facebook straight away, or maybe in bulk - handy if you host your own forum and want to do the update of facebook just ones a day when the broadband link is not being blasted.
Cannot wait to see it smile

Hi HuwR,

Thanks for the link, I did search the forums, but I kept getting the timeout error every time I searched facebook in a forum :-/

Checking the link, it uses AddThis.com service, not anything manually through the API and you need to be connected to it manually, and I'm searching a way to accomplish it automatically.
Posterous is a service that I'm looking at as well so I can avoid calling Facebook API myself, but it does not do all I need...

This gives much more work that I original thought it would.
So I ended up using the Facebook NOTES to add the RSS Feed of the Forum, using my Multiple Feed I could easily set up a new feed to show only topics.
Facebook page of my form "GAPE"

and by the way... for twitter posting I used the RSS as well with the http://twitterfeed.com free service

They offer plenty of options and works great


and it shows like things on Twitter
