Issue/Request:

Hello,

I would like to embed a facebook post onto our homepage under the “Featured Facebook Post” section. I have tried but as you will see, the size of what I am trying to embed is too big. Is it possible to resize the post to fit or is the space just too small?

Thank you,

Kristen

Hi Kristen,

The iFrame cannot be resized. Sorry.

Best regards,

Hi Carris,

Is there any other way to be able to put a facebook post in the space? We are hoping to be able to pull posts from the different facebook pages of the libraries and museums and feature a new one every week. Is there anything you can suggest to make that work?

Thanks!

Kristen

Hi Kristen,

I have come up with two modules that may work for you:

Facebook Pull - this one is presently available in your modules listing

Facebook Page Plugin

Facebook Social - this one is presently available in your modules listing

And here is a page that lists many Facebook Modules.

Try them, but you may have the same issue with the iFrame being too big. Let me know how it goes.

Best regards,

Carris

Hi Carris,

I added the Facebook Social module but I really don’t understand how to use it. I think I will need to submit a request for office hours to figure this out.

Thanks,

Kristen

Hi Kristen,

Take a look here too: https://www.drupal.org/resource-guides/social-media-and-drupal

Also, I Googled for YouTube videos on how to install some of them. You might want to try that to see how each one might work so you can pick the right one. I used this as my search: Facebook social plugins integration drupal youtube. Give it a try. Once you get some more information on what functionality you want, and pick the module that gives it to you, then you could post a request for Office hours if you still need help.

Let me know how it works out.

Best regards,

Carris
