Get KA Facebook Fanbox Pro (v8.5)

Introduction

Social Web, Social Display

KA Facebook Fanbox Pro will take details of people from your Facebook and display them on your web site.

When the user clicks the like button on your site, a story appears in the user’s friends’ News Feed with a link back to your website. People who visit their Facebook page will see they liked your website and come over and check your site out. This means they will be sending traffic to your site from their Facebook page and as a result you get more visitors to your site. These visitors from Facebook will come to your site because someone they know likes your site. This kind of recommendation is valuable and these visitors often spend more time on your site because they trust the opinion of their Facebook friends and contacts.

KA FB Fanbox Pro is a great way to stream your posts onto your website from Facebook. Facebook Fanbox saves you time because you don’t have to update your Joomla site as it will do it automatically for you.

We've made this module as flexible as possible. So you can decide what you want to show and what you want to hide. How and where on your site you want to show it. Check out some samples on the demo page to see some example of how it looks.

I used this module for a client and it worked good right away.

One day, it stopped working. I posted to the support forum and fairly quickly, I got a response. The problem was that they client had switched between her personal fb page and the fan page - so thus, it stopped working as this module doesn't work on a personal fb page.

The client switched back and presto - all good.

I didn't use any of the css settings - it was fine with the client so I just left it. It took longer to find the module than it did to set it up.

Thanks!!

jenn ;)

Excellent! The best support!

The worst module I ever wasted money on

Sorry to say but this module ain't working at all as expected. The main reason why I purchased this module was because of the custom styling options. But whatever setting I do. It's not working at all. I can't disable the facebook stream. Facebook fans don't show at all (that is what I want to show). And custom styling doesn't do anything. So.. that's just another 10 euros down the drain.

Owner's reply: Seems this user does not know how to configure a simple Joomla module. You can see various variations possible and working at following demo:

Don't spend money on this!

The concept of the module is brilliant and it really needs to be fixed before anyone else spends their money on it.

The Facebook Fanbox Pro module has an error in it when dealing with the FaceBook API (modes 3 and 4 of the module). The error will take an entire site offline. The support for this modlue is non-existent. Nothing. Nada. Occasionally they'll check in on their forums, ask another question, then disappear for several weeks - at least that is true when dealing with this one issue (which is a huge issue).

Bottom Line:

Would you install a program that could take your entire site offline? Then don't install this! Hopefully the author can report back here when the bugs have been fixed.

Owner's reply: We provided free support to this user for several weeks and had a look in the issue. We told the user the issue is not being caused by Module but most like it is because of the way server is configured. We tried to replicate the issue on our server but we did not have any problem.

Testing and replicating the issue on test servers takes time and that's why there was delay in replies. Long story short we in the end issued a full refund.

Module works perfectly as shown in demo and you can contact us if you would like to see it working on other live websites too.

Support non-existent

The component and done well and allows for many functions. The problem is practically non-existent support. I bought 50 dollars of modules and components for tried and tested. When the new update came out they told me that I could not download it to upgrade and I had to buy back the new form. I had problems with the form Fanbox Pro, I have left messages in the forum, in the form for help but no reply .....

Owner's reply: Sorry that you had problems, we go through every single post on out forum and make sure to reply and provide support for any issues. All support provided in forum is free of charge, see for yourself: http://www.khawaib.co.uk/forum/2-facebook-fanbox-pro/

Works great with Joomla 1.6

This is the best Fanbox out there for configuration options. You can change the colors of everything to match your website, adjust the height and width, borders, and options to display # of Fans, Feed, Like button and more!

Love it. The only difficult thing for me was to find the Facebook page ID since I have a vanity Facebook page. If you right click on your profile picture and select properties, you can view your page ID.

Works good in Joomla 1.6 with no conflicts discover on my site.

Very good extension which has plenty of customisation.

It's commercial, so I feel some slightly better installation instructions are in order, especially for novice Joomla users. Redirecting them to reams of generic Joomla instructions (not all of which work) is just confusing.

New users: FTP the contents of the zip file to a subfolder (of your making) in tmp.

Then login to site backend as admin. Go to Extensions - Install/Uninstall - Install from Directory (adding the subfolder you created to the end of the string).

Voila.

Brilliant, Easy and Quck to use.
