I have read all the postings related to the title. But I have a very simple question. It will be very helpful if anyone can answer that.
What is me/account page in facebook?
I got many postings here such as
Posting to facebook company page with cron php server side
Everything is explained, but I know this sounds funny, but I stuck in the easiest step.
"When using Graph Explorer you would be required to navigate to /me/accounts end point,"
Please help me.
Please check the code
include 'includes/facebook.php';
$app_id = "XXXXXXXXXX";
$app_secret = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
$page_id = "XXXXXXXXXXXX";
$my_url = "http://XXXXXXXXXXX.com";
$page_access_token = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
//Create the facebook object
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => $app_id,
'secret' => $app_secret,
'cookie' => true
));
//Write to the Page wall
try {
$attachment = array(
'access_token' => $page_access_token,
'message'=> "Hello World"
);
$result = $facebook->api('/639386542780904/feed', 'post', $attachment);
} catch(Exception $e) {
echo "error";
// ...
// mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
me/accounts is used to get a facebook page acces token, so that your app will post as that page. Elsewhere, your app will post as you on that page.

I have followed the steps from.
Facebook Access Token for Pages
And generated a page access token, then used the following code
<?php
include 'includes/facebook.php';
$app_id = "XXXXXXXXXXXX";
$app_secret = "XXXXXXXXXXXX";
$page_id = "XXXXXXXXXXXX";
$my_url = "http://XXXXXXXXXXXX.com";
$page_access_token = "XXXXXXXXXXXX";
//Create the facebook object
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => $app_id,
'secret' => $app_secret,
'cookie' => true
));
//Write to the Page wall
try {
$attachment = array(
'access_token' => $page_access_token,
'message'=> "Hello World"
);
$result = $facebook->api('page_id/feed', 'post', $attachment);
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
error_log($e);
echo $e;
}
?>
It works for the first time but whenever the admin logged out, it's showing the error.
"OAuthException: Error validating access token: The session is invalid because the user logged out."
I tried a lot of suggestions but failed.
Try and replace
'page_id/feed'
with
$page_id.'/feed'
this should provide facebook api with correct destination page id
I am trying to post a status update on the wall of a group which I am a member of. Here is the code I am using
<?php
require 'facebook-php-sdk/src/facebook.php';
$appId = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$appSecret = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$extended_access_token = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$facebook = new Facebook(array('appId' => $appId, 'secret' => $appSecret));
$msg_body = array(
'message' => 'Good evening',
'type' => 'status',
'access_token' => $extended_access_token,
);
$groups = array(
'Group name' => '1234567',
);
foreach($groups as $group_name => $group_id){
try {
$post_url = "/$id/feed";
$postResult = $facebook->api($post_url, 'post', $msg_body );
print_r($postResult);
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
echo $e;
}
}
?>
If I login to fb via browser and hit this page in a new tab, the message is getting posted to the group wall. But If I am not logged into facebook, then if I hit this page, no message is getting posted and I am getting an error message
OAuthException: (#200) The user hasn't authorized the application to perform this action
How can I post to this group via offline mode? Searched a lot for this, could not find any useful info.
you need to have the permissions from the group owner
Change $id to $group_id and you'll be fine.
you ned to get apps this permession : publish_actions,publish_stream,user_groups,
Can anyone help me to solve this issue, I am breaking my head for the past 48 hours on this.
Objective:
I am trying to post some information to my friends facebook wall through my website.
Everything was working fine before but I am getting an error now:
Fatal error: Uncaught OAuthException: (#200) The user hasn't authorized the application to perform this action thrown in /home/abcd/public_html/front_apps/controllers/src/base_facebook.php on line 1039
Also what I am trying to do is, to post it on my friends Facebook wall when I am offline, using cron and to post daily by 12.00 am.
I am using PHP code here is the code:
<?php
$message = "Message goes here";
$link = "http://link.com/";
$picture = "http://link.com/1.jpg";
$sendTo = "my friend id";
$access_token = "access tocken";
require 'src/facebook.php';
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => 'appId',
'secret' => 'secret_ID',
)); <br>
$attachment = array('message' => $message, 'link' => $link, 'picture' => $picture );
$api = "/$sendTo/feed/?access_token='.$access_token,";
$result = $facebook->api($api,'post', $attachment);
?>
Since facebook deprecated Offline Acces, you have to get long lived token (valid for 60 days) and store it on your server! Here is what I'm using.
To Get the long lived token right away use server side login flow
$code = $_REQUEST["code"];
//get acces token from user
$token_url = "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?"."client_id=".$config[‘appId’]."&redirect_uri=".urlencode($my_url)."&client_secret=".$config[‘secret’]."&code=".$code;
$response = file_get_contents($token_url);
$params = null;
parse_str($response, $params);
$token = $params['access_token']; //long live the token
and for posting to users wall
//construct the image URL
$url ="https://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$event_data['path'];
$img_url = urlencode($url); //encode the URL
$text= urlencode($event_data['text']);
//post to user wall - picture and text
$post_url= "https://graph.facebook.com/".$user_data['uid']."/photos?url=".$img_url."&message=".$text."&access_token=".$user_data['token']."&method=post";
$upload_photo = file_get_contents($post_url);
Hope it helps ;)

I'm trying to post an image to a facebook page from a PHP app. I check many resources, the documentation, some demo codes and several questions in this site, but cannot finish a working app.
Here is my code:
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => $appId,
'secret' => $appSecret
));
$fbuser = $facebook->getUser();
$facebook->setFileUploadSupport(true);
$post_url = '/443513955707619/photos';
$msg_body = array(
'source' => '#/www/www.gbart.hu/public_html/facebook/megosztos_app/img/winner/winner_'.(int)$round[0].'.jpg',
//'image' => 'http://www.gbart.hu/facebook/megosztos_app/img/winner/winner_'.(int)$round[0].'.jpg',
'message' => 'http://www.facebook.com/WangMesterKinaiKonyhaja/app_322145727882829',
'access_token' => $access_token
);
try {
$postResult = $facebook->api($post_url, 'post', $msg_body);
}
catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
Here are my permissions for the app:
$fbPermissions = 'email, publish_actions, publish_stream, photo_upload, manage_pages';
I have the appID, app_secret, access_token parameters as required (the other parts of the app is working).
I got some different error messages, like invalid album id or invalid access tokens. I solved these, and now there isn't any error messages, but the photo does not appear anywhere.
In a previous version of this code I tried to post the image to the page walls not to the album, but that made a weird result: posted the image to my user profile's wall.
Try to post something like below
$url = "https://graph.facebook.com/443513955707619/photos?access_token=".$token."&message=hello&url=http://imagetopost.com/hi.jpg&method=post";
$response = file_get_contents($url);
So I have been tearing my hair out trying to make this work. I have been all over stack overflow looking at existing questions and found this: Facebook: Post on Page as Page issue (access token / php) but it still doesn't seem to solve my problem.
I'm trying to post to my facebook page every day using a cron job. I am having problems with the authentication. Here's my code:
//Post to Facebook
//Variables
$app_id = "...";
$app_secret = "...";
$page_id = "...";
$my_url = "http://.../";
$access_token = "taken from page access token (developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/)";
//Create the facebook object
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => $app_id,
'secret' => $app_secret,
'cookie' => true
));
//Get the access token using Facebook Graph API
//This gives permission to post to the wall
$token_url="https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=" . $app_id
. "&client_secret=" . $app_secret
. "&code=" . $access_token
. "&redirect_uri=" . $my_url;
$response = file_get_contents($token_url);
$params = null;
parse_str($response, $params);
$user_access_token = $params['access_token'];
//Get a list of pages and loop through
//If one matches one in the variables above, that's the one
//We're posting to
$attachment_1 = array(
'access_token' => $user_access_token
);
$result = $facebook->api("/me/accounts", $attachment_1);
foreach($result["data"] as $page) {
if($page["id"] == $page_id) {
$page_access_token = $page["access_token"];
break;
}
}
//Write to the Page wall
try {
$attachment = array(
'access_token' => $page_access_token,
'message'=> "Hello World"
);
$result = $facebook->api('/me/feed','POST', $attachment);
} catch(Exception $e) {
//Send me an email
...
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
This works if I access the script in a browser (I assume it is using my facebook session then), but not when it is triggered by the cron job.
I would really appreciate any help. Thanks.

If you already have a page access token, then this step is wrong at this point – it’s for exchanging the code that the Auth dialog passes back to your app for a user access token.
But since you already have your page access token, you can skip that step (everything from the above comments up to //Write to the Page wall).
All you have to do, is to use your page access token in your API call, instead of the user access token you are giving there right now.
