Orchard Core Facebook and Meta Integration

OrchardCore.Facebook is the Meta core feature. It is EnabledByDependencyOnly; do not try to enable it directly. Enable a dependent feature instead:

Feature ID	Purpose
OrchardCore.Facebook.Login	External Meta authentication
OrchardCore.Facebook.Widgets	Meta social-plugin widgets
OrchardCore.Facebook.Pixel	Meta Pixel tracking

The Login and Widgets features bring in the core feature. Pixel is independent.

Meta App Settings

Configure the core app at Settings → Integrations → Meta App. The backing FacebookSettings properties are AppId, AppSecret, FBInit, FBInitParams, SdkJs, and Version.

{
  "steps": [
    {
      "name": "Feature",
      "enable": [
        "OrchardCore.Facebook.Login"
      ]
    },
    {
      "name": "FacebookCoreSettings",
      "AppId": "meta-app-id",
      "AppSecret": "supply-from-a-secret-store",
      "FBInit": true,
      "FBInitParams": "status: true, xfbml: true, autoLogAppEvents: true",
      "SdkJs": "sdk.js",
      "Version": "v3.2"
    }
  ]
}

Use ConfigureFacebookSettings() only when host configuration must override the stored core settings. Keep the app secret out of source control.

Meta Login

Enable OrchardCore.Facebook.Login, which depends on OrchardCore.Users.ExternalAuthentication. Configure it at Settings → Security → Authentication → Meta. The callback defaults to /signin-facebook; register the tenant's full HTTPS callback URL with Meta.

{
  "steps": [
    {
      "name": "FacebookLoginSettings",
      "CallbackPath": "/signin-facebook"
    }
  ]
}

FacebookLoginSettings persists the callback path. SaveTokens is a runtime setting and is not part of this recipe step.

Enable OrchardCore.Users.Registration only when external users should be able to create local accounts.

Widgets and Pixel

Enable OrchardCore.Facebook.Widgets to add the FacebookPluginPart content part to widget content types. Enable OrchardCore.Facebook.Pixel and configure its pixel setting separately. Load fbsdk in templates when a page needs the SDK:

{% scriptresource name: "fbsdk" %}
