I am trying to schedule wall posts to be added to the Facebook business page in the future.
As far as I can see Facebook does not recommend to use "offline_access" anymore.
How would you do that?
This is my code so far. It works if I am already logged into Facebook.
EDIT: Naturally I will create some code that check the schedule that I pull from the database. And use a cron job to regulary check that schedule.
require_once('src/facebook.php');
$config = array(
'appId' => 'xxxxxxx',
'secret' => 'xxxxxxx',
);
$facebook = new Facebook($config);
$user_id = $facebook->getUser();
$page_info = $facebook->api("/PAGE_ID?fields=access_token");
try {
$ret_obj = $facebook->api('/PAGE_ID/feed', 'POST',
array (
'link' => 'http://www.example.com/',
'message' => 'This is a test',
'access_token' => $page_info['access_token']
));
} catch(FacebookApiException $e) {
$login_url = $facebook->getLoginUrl( array(
'scope' => 'publish_stream'
));
print_r($e->getType());
print_r($e->getMessage());
}
You have to extend access_token periodically now. All other code should be working fine as previously

I'm using PHP facebook API 3.2.3 to connect to facebook and publicate messages from my page.
Until recently it was working find, but now messages are not publicated.
When i copy returned by FB message ID to create link, it is there, but not on my facewall.
I can accesss to my message by link like this:
https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=800134770033938&id=659754124150164
It says, that i've publicated link on my fanpage, but it is not visible on wall.
Ofcourse there are all necessary permissions.
Code looks like this:
$fb_fanpage_name = $fb['FBFanpageName'];
$fb_access_token = $fb['FBAccessToken'];
$fb_app_id = $fb['FBApp'];
$fb_secret = $fb['FBSecret'];
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => $fb_app_id,
'secret' => $fb_secret,
'cookie' => TRUE,
));
$post = array(
'access_token' => $fb_access_token,
'link' => $fb_url
);
try
{
$res = $facebook->api('/' . $fb_fanpage_name . '/links', 'post', $post);
} catch (Exception $e)
{
$this->zp($e->getMessage());
}
According to FB API on page https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.3/page/links/ - you can't posting links like this.
Apparently You want post message to feed.
So to do this try :
$post = array(
'access_token' => $fb_access_token,
'link' => $fb_url,
'message' => 'try me!'
);
$facebook->api('/'. $fb_fanpage_name .'/feed', 'POST', $post);
Update : to find this look at page https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.3/page/feed
I am trying to publish a checkin using facebook api. Sometimes, it works well and posts the checkin, but mostly 99% of the times it produces the error: "This webpage has a redirect loop"
checkin.php:
<?php
require("../src/facebook.php");
// construct the object with your facebook app data
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => 'XXXXX',
'secret' => 'XXXX',
'cookie' => false
));
$token = $facebook->getAccessToken();
//echo $token;exit())
try {
// to get the id of the currently logged in user
// if, you want you can manually set a user id here like this:
//$uid = '[FB USER ID]';
$uid = $facebook->getUser();
$facebook->setAccessToken($token);
$facebook->api('/'.$uid.'/checkins', 'POST', array(
'access_token' => $facebook->getAccessToken(),
'place' => '101697613295949',
'message' => 'Enjoying Chill Beer with Team',
'picture' => 'http://test.com/someplace.png',
'coordinates' => json_encode(array(
'latitude' => '28.541203543000023',
'longitude' => '77.15503053709995',
'tags' => 'XXXX'))
));
echo 'You are checked in';
} catch (Exception $e){
// No user found - ask the person to login
$login_url = $facebook->getLoginUrl();
header("Location: ".$login_url);
}
?>
Thanks in advance.
I recently created a Facebook App to send visualized data (image) to pages which are already belongs to same user account as The App.
Also, I set extended permissions in Permissions Pane of App. Setting Page.
Here are the codes that can send post in text format. But when I tried to send images attached it fails.
What are the possible mistakes that I can't get at the moment?
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => MY_APP_ID,
'secret' => MY_APP_SECRET,
'fileUpload' => true,
'allowSignedRequest' => false
));
$img = "../../../tw-data/postImages/twpostimage-usd.png";
$message = 'Activity Test with Image # ' . date('d.M.Y H:i:s');
try
{
$access_token = $facebook->getAccessToken();
$params = array('access_token' => $access_token,
'source' => '#'.$img,
'message' => $message
);
$result = $facebook->api('/'. MY_PAGE_ID .'/feed','POST', $params);
print_r($result);
}
catch (FacebookApiException $e)
{
$login_url = $facebook->getLoginUrl();
echo 'Please login.';
error_log($e->getType());
error_log($e->getMessage());
}
What Errors are you getting when you try this?
I believe the main issue you're having is that you're posting to
/my_page_id/feed
where you should be posting to
/my_page_id/photos
From the facebook docs
$response = $facebook->api(
"/me/photos",
"POST",
array (
'url' => '{image-url}',
)
);
EDIT:
I have successfully posted an image with a message using the following format.
$img = 'FILE_NAME.jpg';
$message = 'Activity Test with Image # ' . date('d.M.Y H:i:s');
$params = array('access_token' => $access_token,
'message' => 'test',
'source' => '#'.$img
);
$result = $facebook->api('/USER_ID/photos','POST', $params);
print_r($result);
Also, I set extended permissions in Permissions Pane of App. Setting
Page.
That's a common mistake. Permissions have to be requested in your scope, not in the app settings.
$params = array(
'scope' => 'publish_stream',
'redirect_uri' => 'https://www.myapp.com/post_login_page'
);
$loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl($params);
Accept the permissions dialog and try again. If you want to post to the page as page, obtain a page access token.
Happy Coding!
I want to use PHP to send message to my Facebook friends. I found some code but it just lets me log in. Could anyone help me?
<?php
require 'facebook.php';
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => 'XXXXX',
'secret' => 'XXXXX',
'cookie' => true,
));
$session=$facebook->getUser();;
if ($session) {
$logoutUrl = $facebook->getLogoutUrl();
$access_token = $facebook->getAccessToken();
try {
$result = $facebook->api(
'me/feed',
'post',
array('access_token' => $access_token , 'message' => 'test')
);
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
error_log($e);
}
}
1) Did you provided the correct permissions to the app?
$login_url = $facebook->getLoginUrl( array(
'scope' => 'publish_stream'
));
2) Check this answer: Update facebook status using php and this: Facebook PHP SDK , Post to another users wall whats wrong?
3) it's /me/feed, not me/feed:
$result = $facebook->api(
'/me/feed',
'post',
array('access_token' => $access_token , 'message' => 'test')
);
I know this error has been bitten to death over here, and I read every single one to have better understanding of my problem.
But my issue is a bit different, and I wonder if anyone can give me good suggestion where to look.
I'm using wordpress + wordpress social login. This plugin authenticates user and stores name/age/email/fbID/fbProfilePic in the DB.
I've a little feature on my website where users registered through facebook can click and post message to the their wall.
My code looks like this:
<?php
//IF user is registered via facebook, when he clicks INTERESTED message will appear on his/her wall to spread the news
$user = get_user_meta($current_user->ID,'Facebook',true);
if ($user && $_GET['commentstab'] == 1 && !$_POST['delmycom']) {
require ('Facebook/facebook.php');
//Access details
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => 'XXX',
'secret' => 'XXX'
//'cookie' => true
));
//try {
$params = array(
'message' => "Hurray! This works :)",
'name' => "This is my title",
'caption' => "My Caption",
'description' => "Some Description...",
'link' => "http://stackoverflow.com",
'picture' => "http://i.imgur.com/VUBz8.png",
);
$post = $facebook->api("/$user/feed","POST",$params);
echo "Your post was successfully posted to UID: $user";
//} //try
//catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
// $result = $e->getResult();
//} //catch
} //master if
?>
I read in various topics that I need publish_stream permission from user to perform this action. But since I store user info separately in my own DB, how do I get this publish stream permission? Do I need to modify wordpress plugin to store some kind of access token? and utilize this token to post to wall?
you generate loginurl with publish_stream permission
if user is not logged in with permission, you have to make sure he does
redirect user to proper page
you can do it like this,
<?php
include_once("facebook.php");
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => APP_ID,
'secret' => APP_SECRET,
'cookie' => true,
));
$user = $facebook->getUser();
if ($user) {
try {
// Get the user profile data you have permission to view
$user_profile = $facebook->api('/me');
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
$user = null;
}
} else {
$loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl(array('scope' =>'publish_stream','redirect_uri'=>'example.com'));
die('<script> top.location.href="'.$loginUrl.'";</script>');
}
$params = array(
'message' => "Hurray! This works :)",
'name' => "This is my title",
'caption' => "My Caption",
'description' => "Some Description...",
'link' => "http://stackoverflow.com",
'picture' => "http://i.imgur.com/VUBz8.png",
);
$post = $facebook->api("/$user/feed","POST",$params);
?>
