Using some components from SharePoint (web Parts) we are able to add a Facebook widget into a SharePoint Team Site.
How do we do it?
- to generate the code for the widget go to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/
- the code looks like this:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=155174084566571";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
<div class="fb-like-box" data-href="http://www.facebook.com/tutorialeoffice" data-width="300" data-height="500" data-show-faces="false" data-stream="true" data-header="true"></div>
- copy the code into a text document (*.txt);
- upload the text document into the Site Assets library (for this example I’ve used SharePoint Designer).
- now, go into the desired page and enter into Edit Page mode;
- insert a Content Editor web part;
- open the Properties pane for that widget;
- in the Content Link box add the location of the uploaded text document.
After you add the link, close all the opened windows and save the page.
Now you will see a Facebook widget in your SharePoint page.
