    Hey guys

    A client of mine has requested for their channel entries (a news channel) to be automatically published on their company Facebook page.

    Anyone had any experience with this? I’ve had a look at Solspace’s Facebook Connect module, but that doesn’t seem to have this kind of functionality.

    My client is currently running 1.6.7 but will soon upgrade to 2.x.

    RSS is your friend.

    I think there’s a few other ways to do it via RSS as well but I’m forgetting them at the moment.

    Another example, this is the one we ended up using at one point because we similarly had trouble with the default method:

    The Networked Blogs app seems to be available only for regular user pages.
    I at least can’t find any way of adding it to my client’s page… :(

    Any ideas?

    Have you tried the RSS for Pages app?

    I have now! It seems to import the RSS-feed nicely.
    But will it also display new entries on my client’s wall, making them visible in their followers Facebook news feed as well?

    Not sure.  But I think that’s how it’s supposed to work.
