    Default Facebook Sidebox, identifying "profile" and "api"

    I am trying to install the facebook sidebox, but get the "Could not retrieve id for the specified page" error. I do have a page, and I have the following info from the facebook site:

    Photoimprints.com
    App ID: myappidnumber
    App Secret: myappsecretnumber

    But I don't see how this info corresponds to what the facebook sidebox code is asking for in:

    define('FACEBOOK_PROFILE', '????'); - what is supposed to go here? it doesn't work with my facebook name, which is first.last, nor does it work with "photoimprints" nor "photoimprints.com", nor the "156997757726957" that corresponds to the page under the account of first.last

    define('FACEBOOK_API_KEY', '???'); I put in my api key and it did not work.

    And I don't see where if anyplace the api secret is supposed to go.

    My page is located at http://www.facebook.com/pages/PhotoI...56997757726957

    I hope I'm just missing something obvious. Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you

    I can't help you, but I would love to know the answer to this question too. I am trying to use facebooktwitter_module_1.0.

    Yes, same problem here see: skysports.com.au

    I put my page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Skysp...93451870681450
    in to the define('FACEBOOK_PROFILE', 'https://www.facebook.com/pages/Skysports/293451870681450');
    and define('FACEBOOK_API_KEY', '17xxxxxxx233509'); This is the number that I got when I created the APP in FB.

    Did I set up the FB app wrong?

    I would love some help on this one as well. I cannot figure this out, nothing is showing up in the sidebox. Originally I had the "Could not retrieve..." message, not it's just a blank box.
