Facebook Wordpress Plugin

Filed in: Personal Add comments

I’m looking for a Wordpress Plugin that displays my Facebook status. Simple right? Well, apparently not simple enough because the only thing I’ve found that deals with the Facebook API is some photo plugin. Yeah, I’m really going to use that…

The API looks like it will support it, but I only spent about five minutes looking into it. So, if you happen to know of a plugin that does what I’m looking for, let me know. If I don’t find one in about two weeks time, I’ll make it myself, and then post it on the Wordpress plugins page, but I really hope it doesn’t come to that.

    I can’t say I’ve heard about anything along those lines - I did some poking around for other Facebook/Wordpress plugins before I wrote mine. But, I do know there’s a plugin for Gaim Pidgin that deals with Facebook status using the API. It’s written in C, but it might help you out if you’re programming something from scratch:
    Link to SourceForge - it’s the “attached Files” down at the bottom.

    Cheers,

    Thanks Adam - I might have to take a look at that.

    So I found your blog while casting about the internet in search of some way to unify Facebook, twitter, gaim/pidgin’s away message and wordpress. It seems like your looking for something similar so lemme throw down some links that may help:

    there is of course the pidgin plugin mentioned before. It seems its only for linux however, and I haven’t had the time to boot into ubuntu and play with it.

    There’s also twitterbook, which is a php script that fetches your facebook status and posts it to twitter. This might solve what you want with a few modifications.

    Then theres this little script for adium thats interesting and may have a good solution for your problems: it seems that facebook publishes your status as an RSS feed that you can slurp rather easily.

    in addition to all that (for the lazy) what I’ve been using on my blog is a facebook badge. I had to hunt around facebook after the redesign: the link for creating badges is at the very bottom of your profile page (this link should work…)

    badges are the easy way out though. I’m interested to see if you do anything with this. feel free to contact me at my email.

    @Gleapsite

    Thanks for pointing out the RSS feeds. I knew about those, but I never even thought about grabbing that for your own consumption. That seems like it’d be the best way too based on what Adam was saying with it forcing you to log out of Facebook once you log in with another ip.

    I hope the following might help some of you integrate your facebook status into your sidebar. I am using the KB Advanced Widget to view my Facebook Status Update in my sidebar via the RSS feed.

    I am just sharing how I did it. Maybe someday someone will create a plugin to make this easier. Although, you could use this same widget to do display additional feeds.

    I have written a 7 step process on doing this at: http://markolson.ca/?p=30

    There is also an example of how my status updates look on my site.

    I have written a little PHP script to pull my twitter and facebook status, compare, and if twitter is newer than facebook, push the new status out to facebook. I am planning on making it go both ways so that if you update one it updates both. See if there is anything useful in it.
