Build a dynamic community website as the focal point for your friends on Facebook

Use ocPortal's powerful CMS features like photo galleries, news, file downloads and community forums/chats and much more to discuss, share and highlight the social skills of your members.

Combine this with Social Plugins from Facebook for a unique web 2.0 sophistication

Experience the web with Facebook friends in a brand new way:

Social plugins let you see what your friends have liked, commented on or shared on sites across the web. All social plugins are extensions of Facebook and are specifically designed so none of your data is shared with the sites on which they appear.

Build a new kind of social and personalized website. Facebook's powerful APIs enable you to create social experiences to drive growth and engagement on your web site. The Facebook Platform enables you to mix and match Facebook's APIs to best meet your goals.

This ocPortal site is designed around a theme that offers an example for such integration with facebook plugins:

With Facebook users comes their friends; incorporate these connections to make your site more engaging. Social plugins like the Like button and the activity feed enable you to offer social experiences. These plugins Graph API and their lines of HTML and PhP codes have already been integrated to enable social graph into your site in deep and compelling ways.

You can publish content from your site into the social graph to reach your users' friends. The Like button enables users to share your site's content back to their Facebook stream with one click. In addition, you can integrate pages deeply into the social graph via the Open Graph protocol.
