Setting Up Your Server to Allow Clients to Connect to Facebook
You can configure your server so that each client using a supported theme (all 'design mode' sites are supported) will have the option to connect their Facebook account to their website.
Once this is done they will be able to enable an option to allow their Facebook feed to be imported into the website's blog.
Because this is a white-label platform, the name of the app that your customers will be asked by Facebook to authorise needs to be your own company name. This means you need to create a new Facebook app as a Facebook Developer, then configure this installation of SetSeed with your app's credentials.
Add app in Facebook
Create a new app at http://developer.facebook.com
Populate $facebook_app_id and $facebook_app_secret in app/configuration.php and uncomment.
