Simple modx snippet that will pull facebook page feed data and display it using a chunk
<?php

$limit = isset($limit) ? $limit : 5 ;
//Get the JSON
$json_object = @file_get_contents('https://graph.facebook.com/' . $page_id . '/posts?date_format=U&access_token=' . $access_token);
//Interpret data
$fbdata = json_decode($json_object);
$output = '';
$i=0;
// For each result, build output values
foreach ($fbdata->data as $post) {
// Get placerholder values
// This has been updated to use search values if present

'picture' => $post->picture,
'picture_link' => $post->link,

// Parse chunk passing values
$output .= $modx->getChunk($chunk, $placeholders); // Concatenate to output variable

Mate thank you for the code, is easy to use and works... the problem is the RSS/XML only display 3 parameters: time, message and ID. So, all the other parameters in the code are not necessary, same with the template. but technically works, and very well, thank you!

I have been searching for a way to get a facebook feed into Modx and this is the first thing that has 'semi' worked for me! Thank you! However, as ysanmiguel mentioned - not all the parameters display. Is there an update that will make the picture display?
