Optimized FB Like Box works on a Facebook Fan Page link, the link must be something like this:
Again, note that the link must be (http) not (https), (https) links may not work properly due to security issues.
Don't forget to rate our extensions in the JED using the following link:

Hello, I could not get this module to work.
I read the instructions above, but did not help. The facebook page I want to link has one given URL, I do not understand how can I make it "something like this http://www.facebook.com/pages/Optimized-Sense/230549220294427?ref=ts&__user=647980202" as in the description above
When I copy the URL, it does not have any "?ref", it ends with that long number. If I only add this to the respective field in the module, it does not work.
How do I get the URL with the "?ref" thing in the end ?
Thanks

Hi Dora,
Our above instruction is to clarify the mean of the "Facebook page & how to create it", since some of our customers thought that the module works on their profiles, while it just work on Facebook pages...
If you already created a page using the above instruction, then just use the URL in the Optimized FB Like Box Link property to enable it.
If it didn't, please update us with your page link to see what's wrong.
You can freely contact us via our ticketing system if you want to provide any classified information, just click on Submit a Ticket from the menu above.
Feel free to contact us for any further inquiries.

Hi Leandro,
This will need core changes on the Facebook API itself, and you have to do it manually, you can google it to find a solution for your case.

This looks like a great module, but I'm stuck on one detail that hardly seems worth a "support ticket."
I want it to stream the newsfeed, but it keeps displaying the FB page activity instead. Is there a configuration switch I've missed?
Thanks in advance.

Hi JohnB,
Actually this is the URL itself for the FB page, and you can't generate it yourself.
Just create a FB page using the described article above, and take the URL for the page and use it in our module.

Hi Adam,
This module will show the fan box for your page, so it will show all the activities on your page plus all the people that liked your page (by enabling Show Faces in the module), you can hide the stream and show only faces to show the people who liked your page only.

i think what people are saying is that the FB fan page does not give you a long URL string as you are suggesting. My fb fan page's URL listed at the top of the page in fb is "https://www.facebook.com/Webemusicians" that's it...and when placed in your module it does not allow my users to "like" the page...nothing happens...I'm also stuck on this....please help

Hi,
I think that the https links is the problem, try to remove the (S) and use http only, I think this may work.
Hope this help.

My client has a Facebook page:
http://www.facebook.com/GTSEngineReconditioning
I've entered this into your module making sure to not use https.
I've published your module on their website at:
http://gtsengine.com.au/
However, when I click on Like, I get a red error message. When I click on that error link it opens up a FB window that says:
The page at https://www.facebook.com/GTSEngineReconditioning could not be reached.
Any ideas?

If I'm not logged into FB, I see a message that says:
Facebook Public Profile
Login to see this content
However, other sites that show likes still show faces and the like button even if I'm not logged in.

Hi Paul,
This is related to your Privacy and Visibility settings for your page, please try to put some public settings for your page in order to render this page for your public clients...
I tried to access your page directly (without any module) by visiting your page link, and I was redirected automatically to my own home page,, this means that I do not have privilege to show this page directly, which means, the module also can't render this page to show it to the clients,,,
Please check your page's privacy and visibility settings.
Regards.

Hi Arizona98,
We checked our module in the latest Firefox (8.0.1) and it was rendered normally ( you can check it using the following link : http://www.o-sense.com/joomla/ofblikebox.html )...
Please make sure that you are using the latest version of our Optimized FB Like Box, and try to toggle between the "Generated Code Types", since some templates of Joomla do not support the iFrame for example or other types,,,
Test the other types and make sure that it will work fine.
If you need any direct assistance, do not hesitate to open a support ticket with your page link data to test it.

Hi John,
Please try to check your Privacy and Visibility settings for your page, if you make your page normally using the above steps, then it is only a privacy settings for your profile (or page) that will prevent the page to render normally..
Update us via ticket if you need any assistance.

I found the solution to allow for the Wall Feed to show instead of the Activity Feed by adding forcewall = true to the coding.
Where in your coding could I add that to make this work? Showing Activity does not help me at all, I need to show the Wall Feed.

This will need extra customization on the Facebook API itself, you can search Google for such customization.

Hi,
Thanks, great.
I rather have some few adjustments that I need some help with.
First the Module is rather large for my small sized webpage and while trying to adjust the height and width, I loose seeing the faces of my FB people.
Is there any way this can be done in another way so that I can see faces just like I see in other websites?
Thx a mill

Hi Dirk,
Actually it shall show faces according to the width/height of the module, plus it depends on the number of profiles who likes your page. Note that any profile with privacy settings it will not show in the faces, because his settings prevent that...
So, just modify the width/height of the module, get more likes to your page (with public profiles), and you will see more faces.
Thanks.

Hi.
I had version 3.2.0 of your module running without a hitch for awhile. Today I noticed there was a 3.2.2 version so I downloaded and installed it. Now instead of getting the Facebook feed I just get "'); //]]> ". Literally, that's it. Not even the frame around the feed appears (though I do get the module title). Nothing has changed other than the version of the module. Any ideas why?

Hi Dennis,
For sure there is something wrong from Facebook themselves, which you can make sure by visiting this link and check that even their original widget is not working correctly:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-box-for-pages
Usually this shall be fixed from Facebook automatically very soon. So please standby.
