Facebook Feed

I would like to add a scrolling facebook feed of the Township Facebook page to my forum. I want it to be the same width as the widgets on my homepage so it can be placed below my latest topics on the left if possible. 

My forum is phpbb2

Thanks

How about using the Facebook page widget?

Thanks @SLGray that works well (I hadn't noticed I could use it before), but is there any way to make it scroll?

I am not good with coding.  Someone might be willing to help that knows about coding.

P.S.  Yes there was no announcement about the 3 new widgets.  One for Twitter, Facebook, nad Discord.

Thanks @SLGray  Actually looking at the widget, I can see members can manually scroll it. I think they will actually prefer this method. 

Thank you again and I will check the Twitter widget out as well

Solved.

I chose a Page Plugin option and it gives me a javascript and then a second code to put wherever I want the plugin to appear. I don't know what to do with them

Edited to add picture:

Paste the second code in a widget

I tried putting it in the facebook widget and it doesn't work. Is that what you meant>

Thanks

no i mean to create a new widget by clicking the this button 

Oh I see

It isn't working though, I am testing on my test forum and it just shows the code in the new facebook widget. Do I have to use the javascript part of the code at all?

the code should be an iframe code 

test mine to see if its working as a test

Code:


<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/page.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FIconskouliki%2F&tabs=timeline&width=340&height=500&small_header=false&adapt_container_width=true&hide_cover=true&show_facepile=true&appId" style="border: none; overflow: hidden; width: 350px; height: 500px;" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>


Where exactly did you place the JavaScript?  It is not organized the way you can add it in the JavaScript Management in the AP.

No it's the same just code showing

I haven't added any javascript at all @SLGray

Okay I had accidentally added numbers beside the code removing them your facebook appears on my test forum @skouliki

when you add codes have this button clicked so you don't copy numbers

I am still struggling @skouliki so have sent a test account to my test forum in my profile via PM

Thanks

If you look at your post there are 2 steps. Try adding both codes in the same widget.

you are ready

Wait a minute!  Are you sure that you added the complete code?
  I do not see the part after Township Mobile.

i found the solution no need to do anything else:D

inside the code you will see this , you can adjust the numbers to your likeness

Code:

width: 350px; height: 500px;

But does not that look like the Facebook Page widget we already have?

I havent used it so i dont know
I have this via fb plugins for a long time

Thank you so much @skouliki it has installed perfectly on my main forum

I like this one better. Unlike the standard Facebook widget it shows my Facebook friends who like the game and also has an icon of a gaming remote that when clicked takes members straight to the Official Playrix support and games website  

Another benefit is if in the future we want a second Facebook feed (like our own facebook page for example) on the forum we will be able to do this

Thanks again guys. Solved
