FacebookActivityComponent

The Facebook Activity component displays the most interesting recent activity taking place on your site. Since the content is hosted by Facebook, the plugin can display personalized content whether or not the user has logged into your site. The activity feed displays stories both when users like content on your site and when users share content from your site back to Facebook. If a user is logged into Facebook, the plugin will be personalized to highlight content from their friends. If the user is logged out, the activity feed will show recommendations from your site, and give the user the option to log in to Facebook. This component is associated with the Facebook account you will need to connect with your Viviti site in the Linked Accounts manager.


Where to Find:

This Component can be found in the "Add to Page..." section of the Toolbar.


Adding to Website:

After selecting this Component, you will be able to choose exactly where you want to add it!

You will see all available content locations it can be added to - on the current page only (content locations in Gold), on every page (content locations in Red), or on every page under the current page directory (content locations in Blue. For example - if you are editing a page called "About", the blue content locations would allow you to add this component to all pages under the /about/ directory).


Note: If you do not currently have your Facebook account configured as a Linked Account, you will be prompted to make this connection after choosing the content location.
