I have a Facebook App that allows users to upload pictures from my website to my Facebook page. I would like to know who uploaded the pictures and after some research I managed to get this following PHP code:
$args = array(
'message' => $fbme['name'].' will have a love marriage.',
'image' => '#' . realpath('./images/wall-e-and-eva1.jpg'),
);
$data = $facebook->api('/'.$uid.'/photos', 'post', $args);
My output is suppose to be on the lines of Adam Smith will have a love marriage unfortunately the only output I am getting is will have a love marriage.
How can I get the value of $fbme['name'] - can you give me a pratical example of code please?
Thanks.
You can use the graph api to fetch basic information (including name) of your authenticated users
try {
$fbme = $facebook->api('/'.$uid); // $fbme['name'] will be the user's name
// put rest of your code below
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
// handle errors
}

I am using PHP SDK to upload videos to my DailyMotion channel, but i don't understand how this work.
I do this:
// Temporarily upload a file on Dailymotion' servers
// This does not create a video, it only offers you a public URL to work with.
$url = $api->uploadFile($videoPath);
try {
// More fields may be mandatory in order to create a video.
// Please refer to the complete API reference for a list of all the required data.
$result = $api->post(
'/me/videos',
array(
'url' => $url,
'title' => $title,
'tags' => 'video,publish,api',
'published' => true,
'is_created_for_kids' => false
)
);
print_r($result);
} catch(\Exception $e) {
die('exception: ' . $e->getMessage());
}
$api->logout();
When the video is uploaded, i keep getting a message saying "Publication in progress" for days (a week now and still getting the same message).
Although i can see/watch the video just fine if i used the account it belongs to.
I'm using 'GRANT_TYPE_PASSWORD' to upload the videos to my account.
I don't want my videos to be published in search results though, i just want my app users to be able to watch them embeded.
Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks in Advance.
Does anyone know how to fetch all facebook ads statistics and display on webpage using Facebook Ads Api-PHP SDK. I am using this API and I am getting campaign details like name of campaign, id, status. but not able to get impressions,clicks, spent.
What I am doing let me share with you:
1) I am getting access token by authorizing user
2) After getting access token, I am using below code
$account = new AdAccount('act_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX');
$account->read();
$fields = array(
AdCampaignFields::ID,
AdCampaignFields::NAME,
AdCampaignFields::OBJECTIVE,
);
$params = array(AdCampaignFields::STATUS => array(AdCampaign::STATUS_ACTIVE,AdCampaign::STATUS_PAUSED,),);
$campaigns = $account->getAdCampaigns($fields, $params);
/* Added By Jigar */
$campaign = new AdCampaign('XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX');
$compainDetails = $campaign->read($fields);
3) then printing the array
echo "<pre>";
print_r($compainDetails);
exit;
If anyone know any suggestion in above code, please share. All code is in PHP. Dose anyone have any tutorial that fetch all above required data then share it
You could try to use the facebook insights api instead of $campaign->read. Here's an example:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/insights/v2.5#create-async-jobs
What you have to do to get impressions, click and spent is to add these fields to the $fields param. In your case, the complete code should look like the following:
use FacebookAds\Object\Campaign;
use FacebookAds\Object\Values\InsightsLevels;
use FacebookAds\Object\Values\InsightsFields;
$campaign = new Campaign();
$fields = array(
InsightsFields::IMPRESSIONS,
InsightsFields::UNIQUE_CLICKS,
InsightsFields::CALL_TO_ACTION_CLICKS,
InsightsFields::INLINE_LINK_CLICKS,
InsightsFields::SOCIAL_CLICKS,
InsightsFields::UNIQUE_SOCIAL_CLICKS,
InsightsFields::SPEND,
);
$params = array(
'level' => InsightsLevels::CAMPAIGN,
);
$async_job = $campaign->getInsightsAsync($fields, $params);
$async_job->read();
I don't know what exactly the "click" param means for you, but if you take a look at all these click params, I'm sure you'll find it or you'll know how to calculate it.
For a complete list of fields available on insights objects, have a look at: https://github.com/facebook/facebook-php-ads-sdk/blob/master/src/FacebookAds/Object/Fields/InsightsFields.php
Hope that helps.

I'm trying to tag user(s) inside page post comments.
$fb_id = 'facebook_user_id_here';
$fb_name = 'facebook_user_name_and_surname_here';
$request = new FacebookRequest(
$this->session,
'POST',
$comment,
array(
'access_token' => $this->page_access_token, //it is access token of my page
'message => "Text here #[".$fb_id.":1:".$fb_name."]"
)
);
It shows only name and surname without Fb profile URL.
Like CBroe mentions in his comment, at this time this is not possible using the API.
For reference, this is called "mentioning" or "mention tagging", and personal profiles can only do this in messages on open graph actions (docs).
Pages can also mention other pages in comments. (docs)
Now I posting a single photo to wall like this:
$response = $facebook->api("/$group_id/photos", "POST", array(
'access_token=' => $access_token,
'message' => 'This is a test message',
'url' => 'http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/agydwb6_460s.jpg',
)
);
It works fine, but can I somehow post a multiple photos, something like this:
You can now publish multiple images in a single post to your feed or page:
For each photo in the story, upload it unpublished using the {user-id}/photos endpoint with the argument published=false.
You'll get an ID for each photo you upload like this:
{
"id": "10153677042736789"
}
Publish a multi-photo story using the {user-id}/feed endpoint and using the ids returned by uploading a photo
$response = $facebook->api("/me/feed", 'POST',
array(
'access_token=' => $access_token,
'message' => 'Testing multi-photo post!',
'attached_media[0]' => '{"media_fbid":"1002088839996"}',
'attached_media[1]' => '{"media_fbid":"1002088840149"}'
)
);
Source: Publishing a multi-photo story
You can make batch requests as mentioned here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11025457/1343690
But its simple to loop through your images and publish them directly.
foreach($photos as $photo)
{
//publish photo
}
Edit: (regarding grouping of photos on wall)
This grouping is done by facebook automatically if some photos are uploaded into the same album.
Currently you cannot create an album in a group via Graph API - it is not supported (as of now), see this bug.
But you can do this - create an album manually, then get the album_id by-
\GET /{group-id}/albums, then use the the code with album_id instead of group_id-
foreach($photos as $photo){
$facebook->api("/{album-id}/photos", "POST", array(
'access_token=' => $access_token,
'name' => 'This is a test message',
'url' => $photo
)
);
}
I've tested it, see the result-
Actually you can upload a multi story photo(I did it using Graph Api and PHP) but the problem comes if you need scheduled this post.Your post is schedule but also it shows on the page's feed.
P.S. I'm using Graph Api v2.9
PHP Code
$endpoint = "/".$page_id."/photos";
foreach ($multiple_photos as $file_url):
array_push($photos, $fb->request('POST',$endpoint,['url' =>$file_url,'published' => FALSE,]));
endforeach;
$uploaded_photos = $fb->sendBatchRequest($photos, $page_access_token);
foreach ($uploaded_photos as $photo):
array_push($data_post['attached_media'], '{"media_fbid":"'.$photo->getDecodedBody()['id'].'"}');
endforeach;
$data_post['message'] = $linkData['caption'];
$data_post['published'] = FALSE;
$data_post['scheduled_publish_time'] = $scheduled_publish_time;
$response = $fb->sendRequest('POST', "/".$page_id."/feed", $data_post, $page_access_token);
$post_id = $cresponse->getGraphNode()['id'];
You will need to upload each photo first with published state to false, and then use the ID's of the unpublished photos to the /me/feed endpoint to schedule the photo. The schedule needs to be within the 24 hours from the time the photos are uploaded as facebook deletes all unpublished photos in 24 hours.
Ref:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/photo-uploads/
There is no way to publish more than one photo in the same graph API call.
See documentation: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user/photos
I am trying in vain to post to a Facebook fan page wall as admin. I want to post new entries with pictures, link, description etc on my fan page wall. This is integrated into my custom cms so that whenever a story is updated on my website, it automatically posts the same on the fan page wall.
The problem is that whenever I post, the post does not appear as posted by admin. It appears as posts by others on the right side of the timeline.
How do I go around the following code so that it posts as admin on my fan page wall? I been looking at it for two days, checked similar stuff on the web and so, but I still cant seem to crack it. Help will be appreciated.
$page_id = 'xxxxxxxxxx';
$article_link = "http://xyz.com/articles/headlines/title-one/";
$result = $facebook->api("/me/accounts");
foreach($result["data"] as $page) {
if($page["id"] == $page_id) {
$page_access_token = $page["access_token"];
break;
}
}
$og_title = "Sample title";
$og_image = "http://xyz.com/images/articles/919161344090182.jpg";
$msg = "some description of the article";
$feed_array = array(
'access_token' => "$page_access_token",
'message' => "$msg",
'picture' => "$og_image",
'link' => "$article_link",
'name' => "$og_title",
'caption' => "$og_title"
);
try {
$page_post = $facebook->api("/$page_id/feed","post",$feed_array);
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
error_log($e);
$user = null;
}
If you want to post as the page - that means that the post will appear as if the page posted an update as it appears here :
Then you will have to use a valid page access token. There is information on how to obtain this kind of token in the Facebook Authentication Documentation. It looks like you already have a token in your code - you can test it using the Facebook Debugger and see if it is still valid.
Another thing you may want to try, instead of appending the token to be one of the parameters of the post array, you could use the setAccessToken() function of the PHP SDK. More details can be found here - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/php/facebook-setAccessToken/
$facebook->setAccessToken($new_access_token);
As a final BTW note, when you specify elements of an array, unless you are wanting to specifically add the quote character, there is no need to wrap the values in quotes.
$feed_array = array(
'access_token' => $page_access_token,
'message' => $msg,
'picture' => $og_image,
...
);
If you want to explicitly add quotes to the values you would have to do something like this -
$feed_array = array(
'string_value' => '"'.$value.'"',
...
);
