Very good. I took off a star for 2 reasons-
1. The documentation is poor. I was only able to install the module thanks to the explanation posted a few reviews ago. I was just about to give up on the module, which could be a shame because it's great.

2. the fact that you must have a strip at the top for the group data is annoying. I'm using the module in a wide location, and it causes a waste of area in my front page I would really like to avoid. Here, have a look: http://long.co.il/
For the same reason also, you can't see the lower border- I decreased the height as much as possible to conserve front page are.

I can't get it to work. You need a Facebook API Key and the module refers you to www.joomlabyte.com but the key is nowhere to be found. Other users are asking for the key in the forum - no answer.
Owner's reply

Just go to http://developers.facebook.com/get_started.php
create and name an api as you want. Use this api key.

Hope that helps

Worked like a charm and was just what I was looking for. It's great alternative to some of the paid extensions offered out there. Thanks for making and sharing this extension.

I had high hopes with this module, but was scuppered at the very outset!
Having registered to get the download (and having to provide a load of personal information in order to do so) I downloaded the module only to discover that it isn't 1.5 native at all!
I've posted on their (somewhat bleak) support forum in the hope that they will release a 1.5 native version.
Owner's reply

You was right for the 1.5 , now its fixed.
Also we have replied to you for that regards
