Why Use BlooTrue for Facebook on Drupal?

The only free way to put Facebook reviews on a Drupal site — Facebook itself doesn't offer an embed.

Fills Facebook's Missing Embed

Facebook doesn't publish an official embed widget for merchants. BlooTrue is the free, paste-and-go alternative — pulls reviews from your public Facebook page automatically.

No Drupal Contrib Module Required

Pure HTML embed. No drupal.org module install, no Composer dependency, no permission scopes to approve.

Works on Drupal 7 through 11

Works with Olivero (D10/D11), Bartik (legacy), Claro (admin), and every custom Drupal theme. Embed code is identical across major versions.

No Facebook API Key Required

Works with any public Facebook Page. No Facebook Fusion application, no API quotas, no business-level claim required.

What makes a Facebook widget different from a Google review widget?

Facebook's recommendation system works differently from star-based platforms like Google. Knowing how recommendations become stars, and how Page moderation works, avoids surprises after you embed.

How BlooTrue turns Facebook recommendations into star ratings

Facebook retired numeric star ratings in 2018. Instead, visitors tap Recommends or Doesn't recommend and write a short comment, and the Page shows a percentage of people who recommend it. BlooTrue normalizes that into the star format your other widgets use: each “Recommends” renders as a 5-star review, each “Doesn't recommend” as 1 star, and the Page's overall recommendation percentage becomes a clean 0–5 star header rating. The result is a Facebook widget that looks and reads exactly like your Google or Yelp widget — no confusing percentages on your site. The header rating always comes from Facebook's own published aggregate, never from averaging the individual cards.

Where the recommendations come from and how often they refresh

BlooTrue fetches the publicly-visible recommendations from your Facebook Page on a server-side schedule — roughly once every 24 hours on paid plans — and caches the result. Your site never calls Facebook directly, so visitor traffic to your page doesn't depend on Facebook being reachable, and the widget loads instantly from cache. Only recommendations that are public on your Page are included; anything set to private or hidden by the Page owner is never pulled. Each recommendation keeps its reviewer name, photo, and comment, and links back to your Facebook Page.

Turning on recommendations and what shows up in the widget

Recommendations only appear if your Page has the Reviews / Recommendations section enabled and public. If your Page is brand new or has recommendations switched off, there's nothing for the widget to import yet — turn the section on in your Page settings and the widget will populate as soon as your first public recommendation lands. Once enabled, the widget shows whatever your Page shows publicly: no more, no less. If a recommendation disappears from your widget after a sync, it almost always means the reviewer deleted it or Facebook removed it — the widget simply follows your Page's public state.

Moderation, Community Standards, and attribution

Facebook moderates recommendations under its Community Standards and removes spam, hate speech, and content that violates its policies. Because BlooTrue reads only your Page's public recommendations, the widget automatically reflects those removals on the next sync — you never display content Facebook has already taken down. Every card keeps the Facebook mark and the reviewer's name, and clicking a review links back to your Facebook Page, so attribution stays intact. BlooTrue never fabricates a rating: an empty “Recommends” with no comment is still shown as a real recommendation, and the header number is always Facebook's own aggregate.

Facebook tips for Drupal

  • Drupal's Block / Custom HTML module renders the Facebook widget without requiring any contrib Facebook module.
  • If your site enables aggressive Drupal CSS aggregation, ensure the Facebook widget container has the `aggregator-skip` data attribute.
  • The Facebook widget loads after the Drupal main render path — no negative impact on Drupal's cache hit rate.

Facebook Review Widget for Drupal — Free, Fills Facebook's Embed Gap

BlooTrue's Facebook Review Widget for Drupal is a free, module-free embed that displays your Facebook reviews on any Drupal site. Facebook does not provide an official embed widget for merchants — its Fusion API is gated for partner apps. BlooTrue fills that gap by pulling reviews from any public Facebook business page and turning them into a paste-ready Drupal embed. Works on Drupal 7, Drupal 8, Drupal 9, Drupal 10, and Drupal 11 via the built-in Custom Block + Full HTML text format. No drupal.org module install, no Composer dependency, no Facebook API key required.

Why doesn't Facebook have an official embed?

Facebook's Fusion API is positioned as a partner-channel product (used by sites like Apple Maps and Trivago) rather than as a merchant self-service product. Facebook does not publish a paste-ready embed widget the way Google publishes Place Cards. Third-party widgets are the standard way Drupal sites surface their Facebook reviews on their own pages — BlooTrue is the free option in that category.

About Facebook reviews in this widget

The Facebook widget embeds the recommendations left on your Facebook Page. Facebook retired star ratings for Pages in 2018, so there is no native Facebook star average; the widget shows each Recommends as a 5-star card and turns the Page's overall recommendation percentage into a 0 to 5 star figure for the header, both read from your Page. A customer leaves a recommendation by tapping Recommends or Doesn't recommend and writing a comment, which only works once Reviews are switched on in your Page settings. Many owners reach for Facebook's Page Plugin instead, an iframe of your timeline with no way to feature recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Facebook only lets people click Recommends, so what rating does my widget display?

Facebook dropped numeric stars for Pages in 2018, so the widget does not invent a Facebook star average. Each Recommends becomes a 5-star card, and the header converts the Page's overall recommendation percentage into a 0 to 5 star figure. Both come from your Page, not from a calculation over the cards on your site.

Can I use Facebook's own Page Plugin to embed my recommendations?

No. The Page Plugin drops your whole Page timeline into an iframe and has no setting to show only recommendations, and Facebook's own tools cannot place them on an external site at all. The BlooTrue builder takes your Page URL instead and gives you a one-line embed, with no Facebook ad spend and no plugin required.

My Page has no Reviews tab, so where would the recommendations come from?

They only exist once you turn them on: open your Facebook Page settings, find the Reviews or Recommendations option and switch it on. Until then customers cannot tap Recommends and the builder finds nothing to import. A free widget holds the recommendations found that day; paid plans check the Page daily and drop the BlooTrue badge.

Is the BlooTrue Facebook widget free for Drupal?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for Drupal. No contrib module install, unlimited views, no credit card.

Does Facebook offer its own embed widget for Drupal?

No. Facebook does not provide an official embed widget for businesses. Facebook's Fusion API is gated and primarily intended for partner apps. BlooTrue fills that gap by pulling reviews from any public Facebook business page.

Do I need a Facebook API key or Facebook Fusion access?

No. BlooTrue works with any public Facebook Page — no Facebook API key, no Facebook Fusion application, no business-level claim required.

Do I need a Drupal contrib module to display Facebook reviews?

No. BlooTrue uses a pure HTML embed that drops into a built-in Drupal Custom Block. The only Drupal-side requirement is that the body field uses the Full HTML text format.

Why does my embed code disappear when I paste it into Drupal?

Drupal's default Basic HTML and Restricted HTML text formats strip script tags. Switch the body field's Text format to Full HTML before pasting, then click the Source button to enter raw HTML mode.

Does the widget work on Drupal 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11?

Yes. The widget is pure client-side HTML and JavaScript. Admin paths differ slightly between Drupal 7 and Drupal 8+, but the embed code is identical.

Where exactly should I paste the embed code on Drupal?

For region placement, use Structure → Block layout → Custom block library with the Full HTML + Source flow. For Layout Builder (D8.7+), use an Inline block. For inline node placement, edit the node and switch body to Full HTML.
