A: The Facebook App ID and App Secret are required by Facebook to access data via the Facebook graph API.
To signup for a developer account or learn more see - http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/canvas/
Q: How do I find the Facebook UID of the page for which I wish to synchronize events?
A: Goto the page you're interested in - ex. https://www.facebook.com/webtrends
Copy the URL and replace 'www' with 'graph' - ex. https://graph.facebook.com/webtrends
The UID is the first item in the resulting text. In this example it is "54905721286".
Q: Do my Facebook events get updated on a schedule?
A: Yes, You can choose the update interval and also update immediately when you press the 'Update' button from the Sync FB Events section within settings.
