    hello,

    i really like this widget, however am wondering if it is possible for me to modify a couple of things:

    1. linking the actual widget title to the facebook profile
    2. removing paragraph breaks – ie – so the ‘read more’ link appears directly after the article.

    ive looked through the .php file but simply cannot work out how to make these changes.

    thanks very much.

    Thanks so much for this plugin. It is great.

    I was going to request a change, but I believe I figured it out myself. I tested the code on my site (and it didn’t blow up, so I think this might work for others.)

    IF YOU WANT YOUR “Facebook Post Link Text” TO OPEN IN A NEW WINDOW (so that you don’t send people away from your site) go to wp-content/plugins/simpul-facebook-by-esotech/simpulfacebook.php

    ‘Save as’ to create a backup to revert to if necessary.

    For plugin Version: 2.2.6, Go to line 469 where it says:

    self::createElement('a', array('class' => 'simpul-facebook-post-link', 'href' => $entry->alternate),

    and replace with this:

    self::createElement('a', array('target' => '_blank', 'class' => 'simpul-facebook-post-link', 'href' => $entry->alternate),

    ALSO REPLACE LINE 474 THAT SAYS:

    self::createElement('a', array('class' => 'simpul-facebook-post-link', 'href' => $entry->alternate),

    And replace with:

    self::createElement('a', array('target' => '_blank', 'class' => 'simpul-facebook-post-link', 'href' => $entry->alternate),

    you are just telling it to open the link in a blank (new) window. Hope this helps someone.

    Great plugin!! Thanks so much!!

    I’m using this and your Youtube plugin on http://www.ilivewhereiam.com/travel-destinations/

    Hello, thank you for the plugin! I am having difficulty with the options. Specifically, I am trying to show external links and ‘Link Anchor Text to External Links / Facebook Post:’. But when I click the ‘External Link’ nothing happens. It remains ‘Off’. Am I missing something?
    Thanks again.

    Nevermind – apparently although I didn’t see the radio button switch, it did. Everything is working now. Thank you for the easy plugin!
