your Plone site.This package depends oncollective.facebook.accounts.Currently, the following portlets are available:Facebook Wall portletThis portlet displays the user’s Facebook Wall and their News Feed.Facebook Activity Feed portletThis portlet is based on the Activity Feed plugin and it has some UI
limitations. The Activity Feed plugin 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 when
users interact with content on your site, such as like, watch, read, play
or any custom action. Activity is also displayed when users share content
from your site in Facebook or if they comment on a page on your site in
the Comments box. 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 across your
site, and give the user the option to log in to Facebook.Don’t panicFacebook Wall portletTo add a Facebook Wall portlet do the following:From the manage portlets screen select “Facebook Wall”.Enter a header (if you want one).Choose the Facebook account to use from the drop-down.Enter the ID of the wall you want to be listed (e.g. plonecms).Enter the maximum number of entries you want the portlet to show.Mark the checkbox if you want only the posts made from the wall owner to be

Recommendations Box shows personalized recommendations to your users.
Since the content is hosted by Facebook, the plugin can display
