I'm using http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-twitter-connect/ to use twitter on a wordpress blog. But I've a problem with request tokens.
Here's my code:
$to = new TwitterOAuth($options['consumer_key'], $options['consumer_secret']);
$tok = $to->getRequestToken();
function getRequestToken() {
$r = $this->oAuthRequest($this->requestTokenURL());
$token = $this->oAuthParseResponse($r);
$this->token = new OAuthConsumer($token['oauth_token'], $token['oauth_token_secret']);
return $token;
}
But after clicking on the sign in button, Twitter returns this:
'Whoa there!
There is no request token for this page. That's the special key we need from applications asking to use your Twitter account.'
The URL is https://twitter.com/oauth/authenticate?oauth_token=
Presumably the missing value is the problem.
I'm hoping to then allow the logged in user to tweet from the site, yet I haven't even gone near that with the above problem.
Any ideas??
Haves you tried logging into Twitters Developer site (https://dev.twitter.com/) to get your access token? If not you need to create an app which will allow access from your site to twiiter. The Directions on the developer site are pretty easy to follow.

I have created a FB App to publish posts as page from another site.
Many of the users will be publishing on my page, so I'm trying to create a function without user login or session.
I'm now doing it via creating Page Access Token manually from Graph API Explorer and injecting it into the code.
If I could create the access token in the code without user login, it will be my solution.
Is it possible or anyone knows how to do it?
Any help is appreciated.
P.S: In case anyone wonder my code, it is below.
$config['appId'] = $appId;
$config['secret'] = $secret;
$fb = new \Facebook($config);
$message = array(
'access_token' => $page_access_token, //manually injected
);
$message['message'] = 'message';
$message['link'] = 'link';
$posturl = '/'.$page_id.'/feed';
$result = $fb->api($posturl,'POST',$message);
There is example code in the docs, this is how to post stuff with a specific Access Token:
$response = $fb->post('/{page-id}/feed', $data, '{access-token}');
Source: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/php/howto/example_post_links
Of course you can´t create a Page Token without user login, that would be weird. You can only create a Page Token with a User Token, and you can only get a User Token with login. Extended Page Tokens are valid forever, so you only need to create it once and just store it.

im building a facebook app and i want to notify the user
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/notifications
im using facebook php sdk
what i do:
user auths the app and accepts permission
i get the accesstoken like:
$facebook->getAccessToken()
and then i generate a long-time token like:
public function generateLongTimeToken($token){
$long_time_token_req_body = array(
"grant_type"=>"fb_exchange_token",
"client_id"=>$this->facebookOptions["appId"],
"client_secret"=>$this->facebookOptions["secret"],
"fb_exchange_token"=>$token
);
$query = http_build_query($long_time_token_req_body);
$lttreq = file_get_contents("https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?".$query);
$lttresp = parse_str($lttreq, $output);
if ( array_key_exists("access_token", $output)){
$this->logger->info("Facebook-app: Successfuly generated long_time_token");
return $output["access_token"];
}else {
$this->logger->err("Facebook-app: generating oauth long_time_token failed \n".$lttreq);
return false;
}
}
some later i use this token for background processes to post on the users wall and them all work fine
now i also want to notificate the user like that :
public function notifyUser($message,$facebookClientId,$token){
$appsecret_proof= hash_hmac('sha256', $token, $this->facebookOptions["secret"]);
$req_body = array(
"access_token"=>$token,
"appsecret_proof"=>$appsecret_proof,
"href"=>"/index",
"template"=>$message,
"ref"=>"post"
);
$query = http_build_query($req_body);
$url = "https://graph.facebook.com/".$facebookClientId."/notifications?".$query;
$lttreq = file_get_contents($url);
return $lttreq;
}
but when i try to notify the user i always get empty data back
when i open the url in browser with all parameters facebook returns the same
{
data: [ ]
}
so i have no idea whats going on,when i look on SO i only find about people posting to sites but i want to notify the user itself
thanks for any help
First, from the Facebook docs:
Currently, only apps on Facebook.com can use App Notifications.
Notifications are only surfaced on the desktop version of
Facebook.com.
Also, an App Token is needed, not a User Token.
Btw, file_get_contents is very bad, use CURL for Facebook. May be another reason why it does not work. A basic example of using CURL with the Facebook API: http://www.devils-heaven.com/extended-page-access-tokens-curl/
Additional Info: I recently wrote a blogpost about App Notifications, it is in german but the small code part may be interesting for you: http://blog.limesoda.com/2014/08/app-notifications-facebook-apps/
I am currently developing in social engine in zend framework.
Social engine has this built in plugin that let you stay connected to facebook even you are logged out to facebook site. So when you're posting status in my social engine site, it will still be posted on your wall even you're not logged in facebook site(I mean here in facebook.com) but I don't know how to do this in my custom widget in social engine that's why I thought I should just use the Facebook SDK.
I was successful using Facebook SDK but the problem is that it asks the user to login every time the script detects that the user is not logged in facebook.com .
How to solve this??
I can actually retrieve the user details like openid, facebookemail. Yeps, that's only the thing I know :(
I've developed same kind of application in Zend-Framework. I've used Facebook/PHP-SDK with oAuth 2.0.
In this case you need to save access tocken in your database for the particular user. and with that access token you can get any data as well as post to. Yes for that you need to grant necessary permission from the user for your Facebook APP.
Here is the two function that I've used in my application to fetch the access token , extended it and store in the database.
/**
* Getting User Acess Tocken , extended it and save it in to database......
*/
public function getAccessToken($user_id,$fb_account_id)
{
$access_token=$this->facebook->getAccessToken();
$extended_access_token=$this->getExtendedAccessToken($access_token);
/**
* To save Access tocken and other necessary option
*/
$usr_bus_model = new Application_Model_UserBusinessAccounts;
$usr_bus_model->loadAccount($user_id,'Facebook',(int)$fb_account_id);
$usr_bus_model->details=$extended_access_token;
$usr_bus_model->save();
return $extended_access_token;
}
/**
* Exrending User Acess Tocken.....
*/
public function getExtendedAccessToken($access_token)
{
$token_url="https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token";
$params=array('client_id'=>self :: appId,'client_secret'=>self :: appSecretId,'grant_type'=>'fb_exchange_token','fb_exchange_token'=>$access_token);
$response = $this->curl($token_url,$params);
$response = explode ('=',$response);
$response = explode ('&',$response[1]);
$response = $response[0];
return $response;
}
Hope it helps.
I've been implementing an OAuth login via the Google Identity toolkit in php. I've got as far as getting an authenticated session, the userdata, id, photo etc, which seems to be working more or less ok.
However, I'd like to be able to login using methods that don't rely on redirection on the user's browser (thinking of remote APIs for an application), but bit lost on how to achieve this.
Imagine a request which is something like:
$details = new stdClass();
$details->secret = $config->secret;
$details->client_id = $config->client_id;
$details->app_name = 'my awesome oauth app';
$details->login = array();
$details->login['email'] = 'some google account email # example.com';
$details->login['password'] = '1234';
$token = $this->do_auth($details);
if($token) {
// do stuff, setup cookies, insert token in session table etc
}
I'm using CodeIgniter. Are there any libraries that can do this..? I've seen android apps doing similar things, using custom login forms, so I'm guessing it's achievable in php.
You HAVE to redirect, it's a core essential of the way OAuth works, there is no way around this. That's why there is a redirect_uri parameter.
You only have to do this once though: when the user is logging in and you are requesting an access token. After that, you simply use curl for example to request your data.
I have started off by reading Displaying Facebook posts to non-Facebook users which is of some use but I cannot believe it is this difficult to get a public feed from Facebook.
The page I want a feed from is public, you do not need to be logged into get to it.
Am I right in presuming that I need an access_token to get to this information, attempting to access the URL without results in an OAuth error.
So the flow should be like this (massively, overly complex):
Authenticate using a user (what if the user isn't on Facebook?)
Some complex OAuth nonsense - just to read the feed, I do not even want a like button or post to wall functionality
Get the feed using a PHP request to the correct URL with the user's access_token
Render the feed
Assuming the user isn't on Facebook, what do you do, use a generic app to get the feed?
Hardcode an auth request to Facebook using my generic app's ID and secret
Some complex OAuth nonsense
Get the feed using a PHP request to the correct URL with the app's access_token
Render the feed
Oh no, the auth has expired, re-auth and capture this new access_token for use in future requests.
This seems really complex for no reason other than Facebook wants to know EVERYTHING that is going on, it'd be easier to do a cURL and scrape the content from the public URL using XPath.
Any help on this would be great.
Thanks,
Jake
EDIT
An edit to show this is not an exact duplicate.
I had this working with an access_token in place, but now it fails, the token has expired and I can no longer use it to obtain information from the public wall.
I attempted to extend the expiration date of this token using the methods mentioned in other posts but this didn't work and the expiration was not extended - we are now here, with an invalid token and no further along.
It seems that the manual process of having to approve the OAuth request means that it is impossible to programatically get the feed of a public page.
Two years later, you can programmatically do this with a Facebook App (an example using PHP and Slim): https://developers.facebook.com/apps/
$base_api="https://graph.facebook.com/";
$client_id="XXXXXX";
$app_secret="XXXXXX";
//get a profile feed (can be from a page, user, event, group)
$app->get('/feed/:profileid/since/:start_date', function ($profile_id,$start_date) {
$start_time=date('m/d/Y h:i:s',$start_date);
$request = new FacebookRequest(
getSession(),
'GET',
'/'.$profile_id.'/feed?since='.$start_time
);
$response = $request->execute();
$graphObject = $response->getGraphObject();
//do something with $graphObject
});
function getSession(){
$session = new FacebookSession(getAccessToken());
return $session;
}
function getAccessToken(){
global $base_api, $client_id, $app_secret;
$url=$base_api."oauth/access_token?client_id=".$client_id."&client_secret=".$app_secret."&grant_type=client_credentials";
$str = file_get_contents($url);
$token = str_replace ( "access_token=" , "" , $str );
return $token;
}
I have some success with reading in the direct feed without tokens etc.
(using magpie, simplepie or querypath or similar).

Facebook has changed how to retrieve a public Facebook page's feed since the other answers were posted.
Check out my answer/question. It's not PHP, but it provides the URLs and process you need.
