Descripción
Social Photo Fetcher (previously called "Facebook Photo Fetcher") allows you to quickly and easily generate WordPress photo galleries from Facebook albums.
The idea was inspired by Fotobook, though its approach is fundamentally different: while Fotobook’s emphasis is on automation, this plugin allows a great deal of customization. With it you can create galleries in any Post or Page you like, right alongside your regular content. You do this simply by putting a "magic HTML tag" in the post’s content – much like WordPress Shortcode. Upon saving, the tag will instantly be populated with the Facebook album content. Presentation is fully customizable via parameters to the "magic tag" – you can choose to show only a subset of an album’s photos, change the number of photos per column, show photo captions, and more. Plus, Social Photo Fetcher doesn’t limit you to just your own albums: it can create galleries from fanpages as well.
Features:
- Uses Facebook’s API to instantly create WordPress photo galleries from Facebook albums.
- Galleries are fully customizable: you can import complete albums, select excerpts, random excerpts, album descriptions, photo captions, and more.
- Galleries can be organized however you like: in any post or page, alone or alongside your other content.
- Simple PHP template function allows programmers to manually embed albums in any template or widget.
- Built-in LightBox: Photos appear in attractive pop-up overlays without the need for any other plugins.
- Admin panel handles all the setup for you: Just login and you’re ready to start making albums.
- No custom database tables required; galleries live in regular post content.
For a Demo Gallery, see the plugin’s homepage.

Many hours have gone into developing & maintaining this plugin, far beyond my own personal needs. If you find it useful, please consider making a donation to help support its continued development.
Privacy
This plugin uses the Facebook API to fetch photo albums from Facebook. Facebook’s security rules require that apps must authorize from one specific, known location. In order comply with this requirement, when you first authorize the plugin from its admin panel, a Facebook dialog will be initiated via my own authentication server. The dialog itself is shown directly by Facebook, and Facebook handles the entire login process – no personal information will be transferred via my server, as Facebook only supplies a single-use token which I then hand back to your site to be stored. This is what the plugin uses in order to fetch the photos. For more information about how the Facebook authorization process works, please see Facebook’s documentation.
Usage of this plugin means the site administrator is consenting to Facebook’s data policy. Fetched album data will be stored in your WordPress database, in posts or pages of your choosing. It can be removed by deleting those posts or pages. You are solely responsible for the security and protection of the fetched data, as it resides on and is hosted within your own WordPress site.
I do not store or process any of your data.

- Removed the Add-From-Server feature (it wasn’t working properly; may re-add it at some point in the future…)

- The footer now says "Generated by Facebook Photo Fetcher 2″
- More changes than I can list…
1.3.5 (2012-11-13)

1.3.2 (2012-08-16)
- Facebook changed their API and broke things yet again (removal of prompt_permission.php endpoint). This update should work around it and get things running as they were previously.

This update uses a different lightbox that should satisfy WP.org. NOTE that if you update, you will need to re-fetch all of your albums so that their code will be updated to use new lightbox. You can do this quickly via the "Re-Fetch All Albums In Pages" and "Re-Fetch All Albums In Posts" admin panel buttons.
