fbLikes

fbLikes is an extra for MODX Revolution that returns the number of fans for a facebook page and caches the results for specific time.

Download / Installation

You can install the extra via MODX Package Management inside your Manager (search for "fbLikes") or download it from http://modx.com/extras/package/fblikes

Manual Installation Instructions

(If you don't like to install the extra via MODX Package Management...)

1. Copy the contents of the snippet file (fblikes.snippet.php) from github
2. Go to your MODX Revolution Manager, create a new snippet, paste the content from your clipboard and save it
3. Open a resource or chunk (or wherever you want to display your fan number) and add the snippet call: [[!fbLikes? &pageid=`19110642979` &expiretime=`10800`]]

Parameters

• pageid - the id of your facebook fanpage (username is also possible)
• expiretime - lifetime of the cache in seconds (default 10800, 3 hours)
