Please note that this script will only work with Facebook pages that belong to businesses or organization or pages that are registered as fan pages. This script is a pure javascript/jQuery solution and does not require a PHP server.If you like this script, please take the time to rate it. Thank you!
Features
160+ different settings to enable or disable included features Either pull all albums (but exclude the ones you don’t want), predefine the albums you want to be shown or show one single album directly Pagination Feature (smart pagination, set number of thumbnails per page, set number of pages or no pagination) LazyLoad Feature for thumbnails (will only load images when thumbnails are in view) Social share feature for Facebook, Twitter and Google+ Includes a tool-tip plugin (qTip2) with several design options; although it is possible to use your own tool-tip solution Includes three optional lightbox plugins (fancyBox, colorBox and prettyPhoto); although it is possible to user other lightbox solutions
Exclude individual images from being shown Automatically include or exclude the Timeline album Possible to translate it into any other language by using provided setting parameters Select between a responsive (fluid width) or static layout (fixed width) Optional two-directional (asc. / desc.) album sorting feature (name / number of images / date album created / date album last updated) Smart filter option to filter albums and photos by age groups Search Feature to search for albums by keywords Set initial sorting direction and sorting criteria Can be embedded via iFrame with automatic height adjustment for iFrame; all lightboxes will open full-screen in parent document (still requires all files to be on the same domain) Option for floating control bar that follows the user while scrolling through the album selection Option to show dates in “from now” format (i.e. “2 days ago”) instead of standard date format Optional logs (in console) for better debugging (i.e. number of albums or photes retrieved, error codes, etc.) No need for PHP unless internal image scaler is utilized; an external (web based) image scaling service is utilized by default No requirement for creating a Facebook App via your Facebook Profile
Before Purchase This script requires you to load additional JS and CSS files for your website, as well as adding some custom HTML and JavaScript lines to your page code. While the JS and CSS files can be hosted outside of your website, the JavaScript lines that are necessary to initialize the gallery and the HTML line which defines where in your page the gallery will be shown must be part of your website. Please ensure that your hosting service and/or WebDesign service allows you to do so. Some online webdesign services are very restrictive with the kind of external content you are allowed to add to your website, so please check with your service provider before buying.
Other Notes Once you purchased the script, you will receive a full manual that explains all available settings and also includes some information about the generated markup and how to target / call tool-tip content and image links with alternative plugins.
Please be aware that any future progress to the script might require PHP functions for authentication and the creation of a Facebook Apps, depending upon changes Facebook is making to its Graph/API systems. Therefore, before you purchase, please make sure that your system includes a PHP server and that you are able to create a Facebook App for any necessary “App ID’s” and “Secret Keys” in order to keep the script working after future updates.
