== Description ==
This Plugin fetches a Facebook Page Photo Album as a JSON object and uses Fancybox to render the gallery in wordpress
It is specifically for public photos particularly those belonging to a Facebook Page. You do not need special
permissions, just the album ID and boom!
Version 2.0 was completely rewritten and makes use of wordpress’s shortcodes.
= How to use =
- In your post just add the following [fbphotos id=x] where x is the album ID
- To specify number of photos to show use [fbphotos id=x limit=y] where y is the number to be shown
- To show your album in a random manner [fbphotos id=x rand=1]
- To show a specified number of random photos from an album [fbphotos id=x limit=y rand=1]
- To use in your template pages in theme development you can call the following function
fppg_get_photos($x,$n) where $x is Album ID and $n is the $n of photos you want to display.

Hi
I have used your plugin on my website and it worked great. However, I’m just trying to add it for a friend to the following page:
http://www.samsoncarpentry.co.uk/our-services/commerical/
and although it displays the thumbnail fine, when an individual photo is clicked on, the page appears to attempt to display the image but then freezes and the only way to get off of it is to refresh the whole page.
Any advice? The theme I’m using is Ultra Web Studio 1.07.
Thanks

Does this plugin support albums from facebook groups?

Great plugin!
The only issue I’m having is with the automatic resizing to the viewport (especially important for our mobile site). The height seems to be adjusted correctly, but the width isn’t, making the photos all look squashed when they are resized.
Is there any way this can be fixed?

Hi,
I love this plugin, just need one minor improvement: is there a way to display a “loading” message while the photos get loaded? I’m shure this would be possible with a little javascript that displays the message until there is some content
on the page, but i couldn’t figure out how.. any help on this would be very appreciated!
Cheers,
Martin

When I change the size of the thumbnail through the interface for this plugin, it crops the images down instead of shrinking the size of the thumbnails. Is there some way I can actually make the thumnails smaller?
Thank you,
Elizabeth
