Display templates
You may add your own configuration parameters in order to display the wall posts in different formats. The appropriate configuration parameter for the template can be set via the syntax parameter showAs.
In order to make a new template, for example one that displays all wall posts as an unsorted list, the configuration files must be changed as follows:
conf/metadata.php
If you wish to alter your self-created template in the administration panel, you must setup the metadata for this parameter.
Example:
$meta['unsortedlist'] = array('');
conf/default.php
If you wish to set a default setting for the newly created parameter, you can set it up in default.php. This is optional, you can also use the administration panel to setup the configuration parameter.
$conf['unsortedlist'] = ' * {date}: {message} ';
showAs
Once the configuration parameter has been added, you can use it in the plugin syntax:
{{facebookwall>appid=123456&secret=123456&fanpageid=123456&showAs=unsortedlist}}
Template tags
The templates, which can be configured in conf/default.php, or via the administraton panel, is parsed using the following tags:
| Tag | Comments |
|---|---|
{date} | The date of the wall post. The date format can be configured in the conf/default.php file. |
{time} | The time of the wall post. The time format can be configured in the conf/default.php file. |
{datetime} | The date and time of the wall post. This functions as {date} {time}. |
{message} | This contains the content of the Facebook wall post. |
{url} | The unformated URL of the wall post. You can use this in your template to make your own links to the post. |
{more} | This is a fomated link to the wall post, using the language files to output a Read more... link. |
