im using $create_album = $facebook->api("/{$user_profile['id']}/albums", 'post', $album_details); to create a album, and the album sharing is set to public, how i create a album with friends share?
In most calls to the facebook api you can add to the details the "privacy" field:
privacy = Array('value'=>'ALL_FRIENDS');
$privacy = (object)$privacy;
$albumDetails = array(
'name' => 'Album name',
'privacy' => $privacy
);
Possible values for 'value' are: EVERYONE, ALL_FRIENDS, NETWORKS_FRIENDS, FRIENDS_OF_FRIENDS, CUSTOM. Please check the URL in the source (Below) for more information
Then make the API call normally. (Note that the privacy field might be overridden in some cases)

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For each photo in the story, upload it unpublished using the {user-id}/photos endpoint with the argument published=false.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'm reading wildly different things about tagging photos on Facebook.
One article says you can send tags=array(...tag_uid...) at the same time as you post the photo: Tagging photos on Facebook with Graph API / PHP SDK
One article said you can tag, but first you have to post to photo, and then set tags afterwards. (Can't remember the page)
One article said you can tag, but only one tag per request, so you have to iterate over the array. (Can't remember the page)
One article says you can't tag at all: https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/371/
Does anyone know if tagging actually possible, and what is the correct way of doing it as of the current date?
You must get Photo ID firs and then tag someone on this photo
upload photo to album
$photo_details = array(
'message' => $message,
'access_token' => $token
);
$photo_details['image'] = '#' . realpath($file);
$uploaded_photo = $facebook->api('/'.$album_uid.'/photos', 'post', $photo_details);
Get Photo ID
$photo_id = $uploaded_photo['id'];
set Friend ID you want to tag
$tags = array(
array('tag_uid' => $friend_id, 'x' => rand() % 100, 'y' => rand() % 100 )
);
tag friend
$facebook->api('/'.$photo_id.'/tags', 'post', array('tags'=>$tags));
It works for me, I hope this will help you
I have php code that posting in the wall of the user that use in my app. But in the post write
"post by _" (My app name).
Code:
$fql_info = $facebook->api($fql_query);
if($fql_info[0][offline_access] == 1)
{
$attachment = array(
'message' => "",
'name' => u("ghfhgfhfgh"),
'description' => u("fghgfhgfh"),
'link' => LINK,
'picture'=> "http://gfhgfhgfhfh"
);
$facebook->api('/'.$f[uid].'/feed', 'POST', $attachment);
$abc.=$f[uid]."\n";
echo $f[uid]."-".$fql_info[0][offline_access]."\n";
}
I want to know how I can to post but without my app name. User as poster itself, not the application has released it.
is it possible?
I guess it's not possible. The app name will appear in the post.
Sorry to say but i don't think this is possible . Facebook would not allow us to do that , it will always say Posted via : [Your APP name]
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.

Hi I am using the graph API to post to the the wall of a friend.
However I do not want the post to be visible on any News Feeds
(the posting user, the friend being posted to, or anyone else).
How can I achieve this. Here is my wall post code:
function fb_post($to_uid,$acToken) {
$result = false;
global $fb;
$feed_dir = '/'.$to_uid.'/feed/';
$message_str = 'This is a message';
$msg_body = array('access_token' => $acToken,
'message' => $message_str,
'name' => 'Wall Post',
'caption' => "I posted to your wall",
'link' => 'http://www.wallpost.com',
'description' => 'Learn how to post to peoples walls',
'picture' => 'http://image.com/myimage.jpg',
'actions' => array(array('name' => 'Wall Post',
'link' => 'http://www.wallpost.com'))
);
try {
$result = $fb->api($feed_dir, 'post', $msg_body);
}
catch (Exception $e) {
echo "Not sent";
}
}
Thanks.
Short answer is no.
Facebook's recent lists and so on are a dynamic amalgamation of posts - a post can't be marked to opt-out of this, Facebook decides its relevancy and coverage.
A user may have their profile configured to so that postings of certain types/from certain applications are handled in a specific way, but there's nothing you can personally do about that - and I still don't think it encompasses options to hide posts from feeds, mainly just disallow them from their wall in the first place.
You can add 'privacy' => '{value: SELF}'. However, it work for users who are already in application. So friend of user who posting something to his friend's wall should be authorized in our application as well
