There are probably lots of ways of doing this, but I wanted to add a particular RSS data feed from my Drupal site, to my Facebook page.

The first step was in creating the RSS feed from my drupal site. Using Views it’s quite easy. Especially with handy posts like http://www.ostraining.com/newsletters/drupal/creating-rss-feeds-in-drupal-using-views/ describing exactly what to do. The output from this step was the RSS feed: http://halloween-australia.com/eventfeed

The next step was adding the feed to my Facebook page. I wanted it as a Tab. So again I Googled, and found http://www.limeyboy.com/blog/2010/07/how-to-add-your-blogs-rss-feed-to-you-facebook-page/. This was also simple, involving adding the Social RSS application to your Facebook page, and then editing the settings, to enter the URL.

My facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/halloween.australia. It already has a custom FBML tab with primitive graphics, and now it has a feed of the latest Halloween Events.

Happy geekmum.

There is the option to add it to the wall, but I preferred it as a Tab/Box. By default it gets added to the far right. Whilst logged in as administrator, when your tab is displayed, you can drag it to the left. It’s a bit primitive, but it works.

Cool!
