I'm just trying to make PHP Connector to Facebook for posting wall posts on a Page.
So i'm not trying to post wall post to profile wall or anything else.
I've read some tutorials and manuals and i decided to use Facebook PHP-SDK (from Naitik Shah)
https://github.com/facebook/php-sdk/
I've created Facebook App to post wallposts through it. I received appId and api secret. I've added application permissions to my Page and tried example code
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => 'my app id',
'secret' => 'my api secret',
'cookie' => false,
'domain' => 'domain.com'
));
domain.com => domain from which i'm sending api requests
next ->
$facebook->getSession();
$token = $facebook->getAccessToken();
$facebook->api('/123456789/feed', array(
'access_token' => $token,
'link' => 'http://www.example.com'
));
So i'm trying to post link on wall of page with id 123456789
The request goes through without warnings/errors but nothing is posted in right place and nothing is returned.
Thanks for any idea about this problem.
Used tutorials:
How do you post to the wall on a facebook page (not profile)
http://blog.theunical.com/facebook-integration/5-steps-to-publish-on-a-facebook-wall-using-php/
http://www.moskjis.com/other-platforms/publish-facebook-page-wall-from-your-site
http://tips4php.net/2010/12/automatic-post-to-facebook-from-php-script/
$facebook->api('/123456789/feed', 'post', array(
'access_token' => $token,
'link' => 'http://www.example.com'
));
Note the 'post' part.
If you look at the source for the API via the link you provided, you'll see:
protected function _graph($path, $method='GET', $params=array()) {
if (is_array($method) && empty($params)) {
$params = $method;
$method = 'GET';
}
When you don't have 'post' as the second argument and your array as the third, it goes a get
If you are getting authorisation errors, make sure you have included the following permission:
publish_stream

require_once('libs/facebook.php');
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',

));
please help me. im desperate to solve my problem. i dont know what to do. thank you in advance.
EDIT:
i now have this code as i have refered to this question Facebook API: How to post to my own wall page? . but still, not working for me. anyone who could tell what i'm missing?
$page_access_token = "2xxxxxxxxxxxx|bxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
$result = $facebook->api("/me/accounts");
foreach($result["data"] as $page) {
if($page["id"] == $page_id) {
//$page_access_token = $page["access_token"];
$page_access_token = $facebook->api("/".FB_PAGE_ID."?fields=access_token");
break;
}
}
$attachment = array(
'message' => $post_msg,
'link' => $post_link,
'access_token' => $page_access_token,
);
$facebook->api("/".FB_PAGE_ID.'/feed', 'POST', $attachment);
Before using facebook api methods, you need get access token. May be this example will be useful for you https://github.com/facebook/facebook-php-sdk/blob/master/examples/example.php
I'm trying to add an event to a page in the name of the page. I'm the admin of the page and I found a lot of stuff to the topic, but, no matter what I do, it ends in the PHP Exception:
Uncaught Exception: You must be an admin of the specified page to perform the requested action.
I can add events with my app in my own profile. So, I think the problem is the Access Token. I tried several ways, but to me the best way seems to be:
Open the Graph API Explorer
Select my Application
Request a new access code with permissions manage_pages, publish_actions, publish_stream, create_event
Request /me/accounts
Get the access_token from the page I want to post to and use it in my script
My test script, that works in my own profile:
require 'src/facebook.php';
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => $APPLICATION_ID,
'secret' => $APPLICATION_SECRET,
'cookie' => false,
'fileUpload' => true
));
$event_id = 0;
$event_name = "New Event API Test Event";
$event_start = '2013-12-04';
$event_privacy = "OPEN";
$ret_obj = $facebook->api('/'.$page_id.'/events?access_token='.$access_token, 'POST',
array(
'name' => $event_name,
'start_time' => $event_start,
'privacy_type' => $event_privacy,
'location_id' => $location_id
));
if(isset($ret_obj['id'])) {
echo 'Event with added. ID: ' . $ret_obj['id'];
} else {
echo 'Couldn\'t create event';
}
What I did wrong?
You need a page access token.
Page Access Token – These access tokens are similar to user access
tokens, except that they provide permission to APIs that read, write
or modify the data belonging to a Facebook Page. To obtain a page
access token you need to start by obtaining a user access token and
asking for the manage_pages permission. Once you have the user access
token you then get the page access token via the Graph API.
Doc: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens/
Then use GET /me/accounts to get the access token associated to your page.
I found the solution in How to programmatically add an event to a page using Graph API?. I had to add the access_token direct into the event array and everything works as expected:
$ret_obj = $facebook->api('/'.$page_id.'/events', 'POST',
array(
'access_token' => $access_token,
'name' => $event_name,
'start_time' => $event_start,
'privacy_type' => $event_privacy,
'location_id' => $location_id
));
Thanks for the help!
I'm trying to create a script that post status updates on facebook pages without logging-in the user. I've got access_token for my application and for the pages as the user granted the application once; but I always get the error
Fatal error: Uncaught OAuthException: (#200) The user hasn't authorized the application to perform this action
despite I've granted manage_pages and publish_stream permission.
Also if I use the access_token for the page I get the error
Fatal error: Uncaught OAuthException: Error validating access token: The session is invalid because the user logged out.
Here is the code I use.
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => 'XXX',
'secret' => 'XXXXXXXXXXX'
));
$post = array(
'message' => 'Message to user'/*,
access_token = "XXXXXXXX"*/
);
$feed = '/[PAGE_ID]/feed';
$post_id = $facebook->api($feed, "post", $post);
Thanks.
Edit :
I finally managed to post status updates on a user's page while this user was disconnected, I had to generate the access_token through the server-side auth method.
Below is a small code smaple on how to do a FB post to a page:
yOU NEED:
Your_authToken_for_User
List item
saved_fb_Page_Token
$facebook = $facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => $fbAppId,
'secret' => $fbAppSecret,
'cookie' => true,
));
$facebook->setAccessToken("Your_authToken_for_User");
//Now your FB instance is authenticated.
$pages= $facebook->api('/me/accounts'); //use the current authenticated FB instance to grab Pages. If you already know your page ID , skip this.
//Assuming you have a pageid in $page_id,(the $page_id can be grabbed from the $pages array).
$attachment = array(
'access_token' => $saved_fb_Page_Token,
'message' => "foo",
'name' => "Bar",
'link' => "http://foo.bar",
'description' => "barfoo",
'picture' => "an image url here",
);
$facebook->api('/' . $page_id . '/feed', 'POST', $attachment);//post to fb page
I am trying to implement a functionality to publish post to Facebook Fan Page from Admin page (SonataAdminBundle) for Symfony 2 Framework. I've integrated Facebook PHP SDK and in Controller tried to use this:
$facebook = new \Facebook(array(
'appId' => $myAppId,
'secret' => $myAppSecret,
'cookie' => false,
));
//Get App Token
$token = $facebook->getAccessToken();
//Try to Publish on wall or catch the Facebook exception
try {
$args = array('access_token' => $token,
'from' => $myAppId,
'link' => 'http://mypage.pl',
'name' => 'My Page',
'caption' => $object->getTitle() ,
'description' => 'Description....',
'message' => $object->getText(),
);
$result = $facebook->api('/'.'$myAppId'.'/feed/', 'POST', $args);
}
//If the post is not published, print error details
catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
....
));
}
I am getting a response with id of app and a post id, I guess, like this:
{"status":"OK","content":{"id":"295131140562739_359030107506176"}}
But the post isn't shown on Facebook Fan Page Timeline. Any one implemented it with success?
$result = $facebook->api('/'.'$myAppId'.'/feed/', 'POST', $args);
The above doesn't produce the desired effect. As Darvex mentioned, you probably don't want your app id there, but the page id. Also, putting a variable between single quotes in PHP will make it a string with the value $myAppId, not the value of the variable. That line should become:
$result = $facebook->api('/'. $myPageId .'/feed/', 'POST', $args);
Just make sure you assign the correct id to $myPageId before the call :)
Facebooks documentation is inadecuate, confusing at best.
I have created an app, I have created a page for my business. I want to post updates on that page from my website as my App using the php-sdk.
I had this working perfectly with other pages/sites but nothing seems to be working any more.
I require offline_access, so I have followed the new endpoint as suggested in their docs.
Sequence of obtaining access_token with longer expiry:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id={my_app_id}&redirect_uri=http://my_url.redirect/fb/fb_token.php&scope=publish_stream,offline_access,user_status,read_stream,email,user_groups,manage_pages&response_type=token
returned [TOKEN_1]
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id={my_app_id}&client_secret={my_app_secret}&grant_type=fb_exchange_token&fb_exchange_token=[TOKEN_1]
returned [ACCESS_TOKEN]
https://graph.facebook.com/me/accounts?access_token=[ACCESS_TOKEN]
returns list of my pages and apps and their relevant ids and access codes. This is where I got my final [DEFINITIVE_ACCESS_TOKEN] && [PAGE_ID]
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => {my_app_id},
'secret' => {my_app_secret},
'cookie' => false,
'oauth' => true
));
try {
$attachment = array(
'access_token' => [DEFINITIVE_ACCESS_TOKEN],
'message' => {my_message},
'name' => {my_title},
'link' => {my_url},
'description' => {my_description},
'picture' => {my_image_url},
);
$publishStream = $facebook->api('/[PAGE_ID]/feed', 'POST', $attachment);
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
die($e);
}
This has returned an error message "OAuthException: (#200) Posts where the actor is a page cannot also include a target_id"
Where am I going wrong? Is there a tutorial of getting this to work perfectly anywhere or are we supposed to all be mind readers and guess how it is supposed to be done?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I have noticed you are using offline access
Offline access will no longer be available as of May 1, 2012.
See this
https://developers.facebook.com/roadmap/offline-access-removal/
Make sure you have handling for this.
