Enable Connector

social_data:
    social_post_data_class: SocialPost
    available_connectors:
        -   connector_name: facebook

Set Cookie SameSite to Lax

Otherwise, the oauth connection won't work.

If you have any hints to allow processing an oauth connection within strict mode, please tell us.

framework:
    session:
        cookie_samesite: 'lax'

Facebook Backoffice

First, you need to create a facebook app. Add https://YOURDOMAIN/admin/social-data/connector/facebook/check to the Valid OAuth Redirect URIs in facebook backoffice.

Connector Configuration

Now head back to the backend (System => Social Data => Connector Configuration) and checkout the facebook tab.

• Click on Install
• Click on Enable
• Before you hit the Connect button, you need to fill you out the Connector Configuration. After that, click "Save".
• Click Connect

Connection

This will guide you through the facebook token generation. After hitting the "Connect" button, a popup will open to guide you through facebook authentication process. If everything worked out fine, the connection setup is complete after the popup closes. Otherwise, you'll receive an error message. You may then need to repeat the connection step.

Feed Configuration

Name	Description
Page Id	Defines which page entries should be imported
Limit	Define a limit to restrict the amount of social posts to import (Default: 50)

Extended Connector Configuration

Normally you don't need to modify connector (connector_config) configuration, so most of the time you can skip this step. However, if you need to change some core setting of a connector, you're able to change them of course.

# config/packages/social_data.yaml
social_data:
    available_connectors:
        -   connector_name: facebook
            connector_config:
                api_connect_permission: ['pages_show_list'] # default value
