Hi,
I have a Joomla 3 Simplicity theme on a site under development. The request has been made for a like box, I'd like to include this as part of a custom html module going on the home page and have the code from here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/ which should in theory make that happen.

I've added my app id into the social-api tab of the template options and was hoping this would include the necessary header script to allow the like box to work. I realize I can hack into the layouts/default.php file and add that script in manually I was just hoping there was a neater way to prevent any issues arising with updating the template in the future.

I've found the module https://www.gavick.com/social-gk5.html which looks like in theory should work however when I published the module nothing appeared. In the Facebook Settings I've entered the application ID and the domain (which I've entered as the live domain, different from the development domain) and tried plugin code type of HTML 5 and still haven't had any luck.

Is there a specific guide or documentation that someone has followed successfully to get a Facebook Like Box to work in the Simplicity Joomla 3 template?
