Hi Sven
I was wondering if there is a way to connect my website to a Facebook Album, but read photos from a Facebook Album and keep it in EG, so I can show it on the website - this should also have the option to update / add photos to a refresh interval as new ones came in..

Not sure if this is a) possible b) planned c) not a chance sunshine?

Your advice would be appreciated?

Thanks Sven,
I dont think its so much what they are doing with their albums - they have them, we know that.

The question was very much whether you were going to expand your product to capture images from the facebook albums (in additon to Google and Picasa) as you already attach to facebook anyway -and that sounds like a no, sadly :-(

Cheers

Rich

You're right, the answer is actually no :) Event Gallery can work with local files, Google Photos, Flickr and Amazon S3. I'm not sure is Facebook is useful as a data source. Besides this I'm not a big Facebook fan to say it gently.
