I have a list of our Eventbrite events inside our PHP CodeIgniter web app.
Here's the code fo my events list:
<?php
$token = "our_token";
$organizer_id = "our_organizer_id";
$request_url = "https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/events/search/?sort_by=date&organizer.id=".$organizer_id."&token=".$token;
$params = array('sort_by' => 'date', 'organizer.id' => $organizer_id, 'token' => $token);
$context = stream_context_create(
array(
'http' => array(
'method' => 'GET',
'header' => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n"
)
)
);
$json_data = file_get_contents( $request_url, false, $context );
$response = json_decode($json_data, true);
?>
I used $response inside a loop so I could display them. Here's what it looks like.
Now, I want the users to be able to RSVP inside the system and not by redirecting through Eventbrite. Here's a sample event from the list.
I know it's possible but how can I make it work?
This is my first time to work on Eventbrite and their official documentation is in Python. I already emailed their support if they could provide me a good documentation in PHP but I haven't heard from them.
Although there's an SDK and some libraries available, I don't how how to use them and some of them with examples are deprecated.
Your help is highly appreciated.
This is not possible via Eventbrite's API endpoints. However, you can use Eventbrite's embedded checkout widget to accomplish this.
Here are the Eventbrite Articles on Embedded Checkout:

I hope this helps you!

I am trying to get to get clicks and spend data for ad campaigns.
I am currently getting all ad campaign ID's with a curl request which returns about 260 ID's.
I want to make a batch request and get the clicks, spend, start and end dates for each ID.
I have found the PHP SDK FacebookRequest() function very confusing so have been trying to make cURL requests.
Would really appreciate some help because I am just stumped at the moment. Is it best to use to FacebookRequest() function or can I continue using the cURL requests?
Not sure if I am on the right track but essentially what I have at the moment is all the campaign ID's which I group with a method, relative_url and body and then pass to a requestHandler function. The code is as follows:
$ad_account_ids = <ad_account_id>;
$ad_campaign_ids = FbAdCampaign::all()->lists('ad_campaign_id')->toArray();
foreach ($ad_campaign_ids as $key => $value) {
$ad_campaign_ids[$key] = array(
"method" => "GET",
"relative_url" => "v2.4/act_".$ad_account_ids."/adgroups",
"body" => "campaign_id=".$value."&redownload=1&bid_type=CPC&bid_info={\"clicks\":150}&creative={\"creative_id\":\"{result=create_creative:$.id}\"}&targeting={\"countries\":[\"US\"]}&name=test1"
);
$fields[] = array(
'access_token' => $access_token,
'batch' => $ad_campaign_ids[$key]
);
// $url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/v2.4/act_'.$ad_campaign_ids.'/adcampaign_groups?access_token='.$access_token;
$url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/';
$data = RequestHandler::curlRequest($url);
Ok got it.
Had to prepend the /GET data to the end of the URL to pass to the request handler.
as follows:
$url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/v2.3/act_'.$ad_account_ids.'/adcampaign_groups?access_token='.$access_token;
Google Analytics, by just placing its sourcecode on my website, automatically tracks everything I used to need (pageviews, unique visitors).
But now, I need to track events, and the only way to do this is to do it server-side. Each time any users does an specific action i need to track, the server posts data to google to track the information, as explained here:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/protocol/v1/devguide#event
And it does works amazingly perfect, but, since I realiced, I am now receiving a LOT of visits from Spain, doubling the visits from USA. And before I implemented the event tracking, Spain wasn't even part of the top 10 countries.
Today I have realiced that my servers are in Spain, and that may be causing the issue.
How can I track the event, without making it count as a pageview?
$url = 'http://www.google-analytics.com/collect';
$data = array('v' => '1', 'tid' => 'UA-HIDDEN-1', 'cid' => $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"], 'ni' => '1', 't' => 'event', 'ec' => '', 'ea' => 'JUMP', 'el' => '');
$options = array(
'http' => array(
'header' => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",
'method' => 'POST',
'content' => http_build_query($data),
),
);
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
Thank you very much!!
You are sending the IP adress as a client id, which is wrong. For one, the client id is supposed to be an UUID. Secondly, Analytics won't recognize that these events belong to an existing user.
You'd need to grab the existing client id for an existing user on the web page:
ga(function(tracker) {
var clientId = tracker.get('clientId');
});
and then send it back to the server and use it in your request (1). At the moment GA cannot assign correct geo information since the events do not belong to the session of the user who initiates the event (this quite possibly affects some other metrics, too).
(1) You might as well read the GA cookie in PHP, but Google recommends against it since the cookie format might change without notice. The script above will always return a correct client id even if the cookie format changes.
Updated: I have read a bit more documentation and while my answer seems still somewhat relevant it's probably wrong for the actual use case - Geo is determined by IP and the serverside script will still send the servers IP. So quite possibly (haven't done the science yet) this would look like one visitor with two devices instead of a single visitor.
Update 2: Apparently it is now possible to include the users IP adress as parameter, so this answer is possibly no longer relevant.
Here is a techopad presentation about mixing UA client- and serverside, maybe that helps.
An event in and of itself is not a pageview. See: Event Tracking
Is there a specific reason why you need to track events server side and pageviews from the normal ga.js client-side code?
You can easily track events from the client side, if you were unaware of that:
Click Link to Track Event
Assuming that you needed to keep events AND pageviews on the server side:
<?php
//Put SERVER_ADDR into a var
$request_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
// Put any server IPs you need to filter out below in an array
$localhosts = array('127.0.0.1','192.168.15.1','10.1.10.1');
// Use this later
$url = 'http://www.google-analytics.com/collect';
Now, Figure out what to do with the REMOTE_ADDR check if its in our list above. then build an array of type to send GA (events, pageviews)
$actions = array();
// Note that the values are arbitrary and will let you do what you need.
if(in_array($request_ip)){
//Only track event, or track pageview differently, or track two events.
$handle_myServer = true;
$actions = ('event');
} else {
// Track everyone else
$handle_myServer = false;
$actions = ('event','pageview','mySpecialPageview','mySpecialEvent');
}
Finally We have built a list of events we can use in flow control with existing code for pageviews, user timing, events, etc. Be creative!
foreach($actions as $action){
$data = null; $options=null;
if($handle_myServer){
$someFlagForGA = 'RequestFromSpainServer';
}
if($action == 'event'){
$data = array('v' => '1'
, 'tid' => 'UA-HIDDEN-1',
,'cid' => $request_ip
,'ni' => '1'
, 't' => 'event'
, 'ec' => $someFlagForGA,
,'ea' => 'JUMP', 'el' => ''
);
} elseif($action == 'pageview'){
$data = array('v' => '1', 'tid' => 'UA-HIDDEN-1'
, 't' => 'pageview'
, 'dh'=> 'yourGAenabledDomainHere.com'
, 'dp'=> 'ViewedPage.html'
, 'dt'=> 'homepage'.' SERVER VISITED '.$someFlagForGA
);
} else {
// Do whatever else
}
// Would be better to do below with a single function
$options = array(
'http' => array(
'header' => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",
'method' => 'POST',
'content' => http_build_query($data),
) ,$data);
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context) or die('Error!!');
}
?>
I have a project where I need to do the following: retrieve some data from a form, fill the database, create a response for the user and post the data to a third party. To give an example, it's like booking a ticket to a concert.The ajax call: You buy the ticket, you receive a response (whether the purchase was successful), a php script sends data to the database, and someone may be announced that a new ticket was bought. Now, I need to pass data to that "someone". Which is what I don't know how to do.
Or, like when someone posts a comment to my question on stackoverflow, I get a notification.
In my particular case, the user creates an event, receives a response and I will need to have certain parameters posted by the user on a calendar. It is important that I could hardly integrate the calendar with the script retrieving the data. I would rather need to "forward" the data to the calendar- quite like pushing notifications.
Can anyone please give me a clue what should I use, or what should I need in order to do the above?
The process will go like this:
AJAX
user----> php script->database
|_ calendar
So if i get you right, you could post your data to the calendar via curl:
$url = "http://www.your-url-to-the-calendar.com";
$postData = array(
"prop1" => "value1",
"prop2" => "value2",
"prop3" => "value3"
);
//urlify the data for the post
$data_string = "";
foreach ($postData as $key => $value)
$data_string .= urlencode($key) . '=' . urlencode($value) . '&';
$data_string = rtrim($data_string, '&');
//will output --> prop1=value1&prop2=value2=prop3=value3
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
CURLOPT_URL => $url,
CURLOPT_HEADER => false,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => false,
CURLOPT_POST => count($postData),
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $data_string
));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
If your third party calendar does not require authentication than this would be the best way to post it, if you can not write to the database yourself.
When it requires authentication you would have to first login via curl (send credentials via curl-post, receive cookies, send cookies with your data)
Hope this helps.
I am using the tmOAuth library.
With the new 1.1 API, the following is returning an error code 400 - but authentication was done (same authentication for statuses works)! The library I am using works fine for all calls, except this one!
$tmhOAuth->request(
'POST', $tmhOAuth->url('https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/destroy/MYIDHERE.json'),
array(
'id' => MYIDHERE
)
);
The twitter API documentation states that you don't have to send the id in post - but this doesn't make any difference.
I have tested this today with two different libraries, and neither work.
Any suggestions - does anyone know if there is an issue with it??
According to your comment, you have tested this in two libraries for the 1.1 API.
You haven't tested it in this one though. Instructions here, although you seem to already have your credentials in hand.
This basically proves that the library you are using has the issue, not the twitter API. So either submit a bug report on github (how else are they to know?), or use another library like the one above.
The exact code required using the above library (and it works, I just tested it):
// Require the library file
require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');
// Set up your credentials
$settings = array(
'oauth_access_token' => "YOUR_TOKEN",
'oauth_access_token_secret' => "YOUR_TOKEN_SECRET",
'consumer_key' => "YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY",
'consumer_secret' => "YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET"
);
// Put the correct ID in the URL
$url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/destroy/YOURIDHERE.json';
// Set the request type
$requestMethod = 'POST';
// Set the post fields
$postfields = array('id' => 'YOURIDHERE');
// Make the request
$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
$json = $twitter->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
->setPostfields($postfields)
->performRequest();
// Dump the response
$result = json_decode($json);
var_dump($result);
If you're using the twitteroauth php library from Abraham Williams and trying to delete old tweets/retweets you need to construct the post() query as such:
$response = $connection->post('statuses/destroy/'.$tweetID, array()); //Curl url output = statuses/destroy/$tweetID.json
Greetings
Here's what's up:
I'm working on an app where the user or a page they administrate is tagged in their own image, however, tagging a page they administrate doesn't function, I have no trouble with the user being tagged.
Here's some code:
$tdata = array('tag_uid' => $fb_id,'x' => 0,'y' => 0);
$datatags[] = $tdata;
$attachment = array(
'access_token' => $access_token,
'tags' => $datatags
);
$attachment['image'] = '#'.realpath($image_name.);
$result = $facebook->api('/'.$album_id.'/photos', 'POST', $attachment);
$fb_id is either the ID for the user or the page. which is grabbed using /me/accounts in the Graph API
Thanks!
Per the documentation you cannot do this:
You can specify which user to tag using two methods: in the URL path
as PHOTO_ID/tags/USER_ID, or in a URL parameter as
PHOTO_ID/tags?to=USER_ID. Currently, you cannot tag a Page in a photo
using this API.
