CodeIgniter and Facebook Connect - facebook

Question

I am trying to integrate my Codeigniter website with the Facebook PHP SDK. What I want to do is let a user share an article from my site on their facebook wall, if they are logged into a facebook account. My library appears to load correctly, but everytime I try to do something, I get some kind of error... primarily with the auth. getUser does not appear to return the correct results. I set up my facebook application and set the config vars for my library, but no luck. It says I am not logged into facebook. When I click on the "login" anchor, the link takes me to the same page, but with the facebook url, and doesn't ask me to login with the app. Here's my code:
function facebook($article_id){
$config = array(
'appId' => '276870792431073',
'secret' => '8d49eee575413fb9a8063d22f65dbf6a'
);
$this->load->library('facebook', $config);
$user = $this->facebook->getUser();
if($user){
try {
$user_profile = $this->facebook->api('/me');
} catch (FacebookApiException $e){
error_log($e);
$user = null;
}
}
if($user){
$article = $this->article->fetch_article($article_id);
$config = array(
'message' => 'I just read an '.anchor('articles/'.url_title($article['title']).'/'.$article_id, 'article').' on '.anchor('', 'TrackTheOutbreak.com').'!',
);
$this->facebook->api('/me/feed', 'post', $config);
} else {
$data['MESSAGE_TITLE'] = 'Authentication Error';
$data['MESSAGE_TEXT'] = 'You must be logged into an existing Facebook account to use this feature. Click '.anchor($this->facebook->getLoginUrl(), 'here').' to login.';
$this->parser->parse('error_body.tpl', $data);
}
}

In order to access a users information and post anything to their wall you first need to get a access token from them. To do that you need to make sure that you have gained their permission through Facebook's FB_login (and then Open Graph). I would double check with this guide and make sure that you have everything set up properly to post to their timeline.

I hope this helps
