This module shows album from the public URL at your Facebook album page (found at the bottom of the album page

==============================
Why use it?:

You don't need another gallery admin just for your website. Use Facebook to manage your album and just give the link to grab that album
As your album is hosted on Facebook your webhost doesn't run out of space or bandwidth
Stylish Sliders to present your album

I used this extension on a photography website, the owner is very active on Facebook and loved the idea of being able to add photos on Facebook and have them appear on her website.
It is very easy to install and to setup, the website is very detailed in its installation and use as well.
After a recent FB change the website broke, I emailed the developer and he had a fix for us very quickly. Excellent support!

My Clients love this module and I love it because it is so easy to implement. It worked great right from the start.
No installation or implementation issues for most of the sites I am using it with except for my own business site and my issue is just because I am using SSL on my site but Facebook passes the thumbnail links via http, not https. I emailed the developer and received a response very quickly with an attempt to work around the problem but in the end, it is simply the limitations of working with Facebook itself, not a problem with the Module. The developer was very helpful and even though the problem was because of Facebook, he tried to help find a solution.
All in all, I highly recommend this module to everyone. My plan is to actually use this module to implement photo galleries on some of my clients websites. Most photo galleries have issues with photo sizes when you are on a shared hosting server so I can have my clients simply use Facebook's powerful servers and photo processing system to upload to and store images and implement the module to display them on the websites very nicely.

The extension is very easy to configure and looks really good on the page. Excellent value for money. Saves bandwidth with your hosting company and means clients can control their own photo gallery without needing to access the Joomla admin panel. Thanks to the developer.
2 weeks ago I bought it - installed smoothly on J 1.7 however it was not showing scroll bars at all and also miss-matched of image-description. Afzal was very quick to identify and fix every little problem in my site to run the jfba smoothly.
Great support and great app. Thanks

I downloaded and installed this module and had a view problems with integration with other extensions. Contacted the Developer and Excellent support! Everytime he came back to me within minutes. This is a small module, but will grow. Well done and exactly what I was looking for. Much easier to implement than other similar products and worth the money spend. Well done again.
Very nice little facebook image module! Works great and support is fantastic. We love it!
I had an initial problem with using this, but the developer was very quick to response via email and got me working fast.
