Configuration
Firstly, ensure the Facebook Open Graph Extension is configured correctly to work with your chosen Facebook application. In order to enable photo imports, you will need to add the following hook to your LocalSettings.php file, as also detailed on the Facebook Open Graph Extension wiki page.

This should allow users to import their own photos (or photos they're tagged in). You will need to add the 'user_photos' permission to the scope array for this. The 'friends_photos' permission is needed to allow users to import friends' photos. These permissions also need to be enabled in your Facebook application.

Configuration options for this extension take the form of two arrays in FacebookImport.php, $wgFbImportOptions and $wgFbConnectionImportOptions. The elements of those arrays are themselves arrays, each with three elements - a boolean value to indicate whether that item should be included in the User Page import form, a string for the label for that input, and a string for the type of input (text or textarea).
