How to add a Facebook widget to my sidebar

A Facebook widget embeds your Facebook timeline into your page. Eg: see the right hand sidebar on our sample site.

​

1. Copy your cinema’s Facebook page link (e.g., https://www.facebook.com/abccinemas/).

2. Visit Facebook’s Page Plugin page.

3. Paste the link you copied into the Facebook Page URL field.

4. In the Width field, enter 262.

5. Click Get Code.

​

​

The JavaScript SDK pop-up appears.​​

6. Copy the code from the first box (the JavaScript SDK).

Note: Leave the pop-up open because you’ll need to come back and copy the code from second box.
