Facebook Page Plugin Adjusts Dynamically to Maintain Optimal Display
In a move to improve user experience, a new script ensures Facebook Page plugins dynamically adjust their width to fit the available space on a webpage. This guarantees optimal display across various screen sizes and devices,preventing the plugin from appearing distorted or overflowing its container.
Responsive Design for Facebook Integrations
The core functionality revolves around a javascript function, fusion_resize_page_widget(), that continuously monitors the width of its parent container. It then sets the Facebook Page plugin’s data-width attribute accordingly.
A key feature is a maximum width constraint of 268 pixels. If the available space exceeds this limit,the plugin’s width is capped,preventing excessive stretching. This ensures a visually appealing and consistent presentation.
How the Script Works
The script first checks if the available space has changed as the last adjustment. If a difference is detected and the available space is not equal to the maximum width, the plugin’s width is updated using jQuery('.6 .fb-page' ).attr( 'data-width', Math.floor( availableSpace ) ). FB.XFBML.parse() is called to re-render the Facebook Page plugin with the new dimensions.
Facebook SDK Integration
The solution also integrates with the Facebook javascript SDK. This integration ensures that the Facebook Page plugin functions correctly and can interact with the Facebook platform.
The SDK is loaded asynchronously using a standard JavaScript snippet, which checks for the existence of the SDK before attempting to load it. The script uses the Facebook App ID 227961034906339 and specifies version v8.0 to connect to the Facebook API.
Improved User Experience
This dynamic resizing capability offers a smoother and more professional user experience for website visitors. By automatically adapting to different screen sizes, the Facebook Page plugin remains legible and visually consistent, no matter how a user accesses the website.
