i am creating a fanpage and attach in my facebook apps.
i want to invite my friends form my facebook page to like page and get some offer
so i am using code to display status.
<?php
require 'facebook.php';
$app_id = "xxxxxxxxxxxx";
$app_secret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => $app_id,
'secret' => $app_secret,
'cookie' => true
));
$user = $facebook->getUser();
$signed_request = $facebook->getSignedRequest();
$page_id = $signed_request["page"]["id"];
$page_admin = $signed_request["page"]["admin"];
$like_status = $signed_request["page"]["liked"];
$country = $signed_request["user"]["country"];
$locale = $signed_request["user"]["locale"];
?>
here using facebook api to get pageid or user id and other information .
There is no API which allows you to invite a user to like a page, this is only available in Facebook's frontend
I have the same issue but I intend to use (Requests)
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/requests/
You can send their friends a request asking them to like your page ! I guess this is more effective and you decide what should be written in the request!

I am is the admin of the page. How can I post to that page wall using php SDK.
Is it possible or not?
the following code is posting as I post the page. I want the page itself post things to the wall.
<?php
include_once("inc/facebook.php"); //include facebook SDK
######### edit details ##########
$appId = '1157979879888106'; //Facebook App ID
$appSecret = '86403d4061433e23a0ouo9ec46a1405'; // Facebook App Secret
$return_url = 'http://xxxx.com/site/test'; //return url (url to script)
$homeurl = 'http://xxxx.com/site/index'; //return to home
$fbPermissions = 'publish_stream,manage_pages'; //Required facebook permissions
##################################
$page_id = "447126725331764";
//Call Facebook API
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => $appId,
'secret' => $appSecret
));
//$fbuser = $facebook->getUser();
$publish = $facebook->api('/'.$page_id.'/feed', 'post',
array('access_token' => 'CAAQdLHAnOgoBAGAYZCIE09nfXaWZBXdMuwW5I379TjaWMZAQSUZCks9B4JfQyMXBEDN1CQZBaQJFeP44vWTGhic8AnkBgARge0AKJHIYgMdfDk16rq6ON496t0Phv6QtCmOR7t3wcybioNjxFkYctuN1ppDEBQdAObi6eIva0ZBTvAHJOWCSfcNicaVIZD',
'message'=> "Hello boss",
'from' => $appId,
'to' => $page_id,
'caption' => 'Caption',
'name' => 'Name',
'link' => 'http://www.example.com/',
'picture' => 'http://www.phpgang.com/wp-content/themes/PHPGang_v2/img/logo.png',
'description' => 'Hello boss'.' via demo.PHPGang.com'
));
?>
First of all, publish_stream is deprecated since many years. You really need to check out the Facebook docs, they state clearly that you need publish_pages and manage_pages to post "as Page".
That being said, that exact same question gets asked a LOT on Stackoverflow, so you can easily find a lot more information with the search function. In general, this is what you need to do:
Authorize the user with publish_pages and manage_pages
(Generate an Extended User Token)
Get a Page Token with /me/accounts
User that Page Token to post to the Page wall
More information about Access Tokens:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens
http://www.devils-heaven.com/facebook-access-tokens/
Is it possible to access profile updates of a facebook user who is not in your(application authorizer) friend list or like-list?
For example:
http://www.facebook.com/zuck
or
http://www.facebook.com/mashable
Is it possible using facebook api?
It depends on their privacy settings
<?php
require 'src/facebook.php';
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => 'xxx',
'secret' => 'xxx',
));
$username = isset($_GET['username'])?$_GET['username']:"johnbevere.page";
$profile = $facebook->api('/'.$username.'/posts');
?>
<br/><br/><img src="https://graph.facebook.com/<?=$username?>/picture">
<?php
foreach( $profile['data'] as $data ){
if($data['message']){
echo $data['message']."<br><hr><br>";
}else{
echo $data['story']."<br><hr><br>";
}
}
?>
Success:
Page updates
User timeline Activity Log
Failed:
User timeline Feed
It is not possible to scrap the public feed of random profile using facebook API
i am trying to post to my friends' feeds using this code, but it is not working . i am stuck, any help ??
$app_url ="http://localhost.local/PMS/facebook/PostWithPHP.php";
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => 'APPID',
'secret' => 'APPSECRET',
'cookie' => true,
));
// Get User ID
$user = $facebook->getUser();
if ($user) {
$user_friends = $facebook->api('/me/friends');
sort($user_friends['data']);
try {
// Proceed knowing you have a logged in user who's authenticated.
$access_token = $facebook->getAccessToken();
$vars = array(
'message' => 'My Message',
'name' => 'title',
'caption' => 'Caption',
'link' => 'Link',
'description' => 'Description',
'picture' => 'image'
);
foreach($user_friends['data'] as $f){
$sendTo = $f['id'];
$sendToName = $f['name'];
$result = $facebook->api("/".$sendTo ."/feed", 'post', $vars);
}
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
error_log($e);
$user = null;
}
}
// Login or logout url will be needed depending on current user state.
if ($user) {
$logoutUrl = $facebook->getLogoutUrl();
} else {
$loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl(array('redirect_uri'=> $app_url));
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";
echo "top.location.href = '{$loginUrl}';";
echo "</script>";
}
and another question is that using this code, but with replacing $facebook->api("/".$sendTo ."/feed", 'post', $vars); by $facebook->api("/me/feed", 'post', $vars); and of course without looping friends, posts on my timeline. how can i make it post on my wall ??
I guess for a post to a timeline you will need an accessToken from the user where to publish the content. In your case you just have the accessToken of the registered user, not of his friends. That is a restriction by FB I think.
1st check you getting the user id(place echo and check) if not try this... I think this will help you brother
$token_url = "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?" ."client_id=" . $app_id ."&client_secret=" . $app_secret .
"&grant_type=client_credentials";
$access_token = file_get_contents($token_url);
$signed_request = $_REQUEST["signed_request"];
list($encoded_sig, $payload) = explode('.', $signed_request, 2);
$data = json_decode(base64_decode(strtr($payload, '-_', '+/')), true);
$user_id = $data["user_id"];
There are a few things wrong with your code. First of all, make sure the link and picture parameters for the post are valid URLs. Facebook will give you a error message otherwise ((#100) link URL is not properly formatted). Also, the link must go to the Canvas or Site URL for your application.
That should solve the issues with posting to a friend's wall.
However, may I remind you that your application is in violation of the Facebook Platform Policy. Facebook doesn't allow multiple posts to the stream (whether its yours or a friends) unless there is explicit permission from the user. It also to stop common friends seeing the same message from multiple friends.
You can follow the tutorial here:
https://www.webniraj.com/2012/11/22/facebook-api-posting-a-status-update/
But, instead of making a API call to: /me/feed, you replace me with the friend's User ID, so it looks like /12345/feed
Please note that Facebook has now disabled posting to Friends' walls via the API. Instead, you should either tag the user in an action or use the Requests API.
Ive created my first facebook app. Basically the canvas/iframe version.
It all seems ok ..except:
I can only access the apps page: (http://apps.facebook.com/hoo_promo/) when im logged in as the administrator user of the app. It should be viewable by everone. Ive submiited it to the appstore...does this matter? is this the issue?
My like-gate doesnt seem to work, even though ive followed several examples. My admin user, who im logged in with, has the page liked, but the code
$signed_request = $facebook->getSignedRequest();
$like_status = $signed_request["page"]["liked"];
for page-like is never set in the signed_request obj.
Any help much appreciated....ive added my current code...maybe this can also help others...
$app_id = "secretblahblahhiddenthis";
$secret = 'secretblahblahhiddenthis';
$canvas_page = "http://www.houseofoak.co.uk/facebook_app/";
$auth_url = "http://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=" . $app_id . "&redirect_uri=" . urlencode($canvas_page);
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => $app_id,
'secret' => $secret,
'cookie' => true,
));
$signed_request = $facebook->getSignedRequest();
$like_status = $signed_request["page"]["liked"];
$user = $facebook->getUser();
$page = 'unliked';
$loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl(array('scope' => 'user_likes'));
$logoutUrl = $facebook->getLogoutUrl();
if (($user) && ($like_status)){
$page = 'liked';
}
For your problems:
Check to make sure you aren't in sandbox mode. Visit https://developers.facebook.com/apps/YOUR_APP_ID/advanced to check.
What you're trying to do is no longer allowed. Facebook has deprecated most of the methods that make a like gate possible. See Facebook Platform Policies Section IV. Point 1 says "You must not ... gate content behind ... Facebook social channels...."
I am logining in and making the authentication processes from one domain (localhost)
$config = array(
appId' => $APP_ID,
'secret' => $APP_SECRET
);
$facebook = new Facebook($config);
$currentUserId = $facebook->getUser();
This works fine and i get an Access Token and a user id.
After that. from the browser i am making a post action to a php file on a remote domain
in the remote php i use the same code the same APP_ID and the same APP_SECRET
$config = array(
'appId' => $APP_ID,
'secret' => $APP_SECRET
);
$facebook = new Facebook($config);
$currentUserId = $facebook->getUser();
this does not! work and get $currentUserId = 0
and that is my problem
I can use (but dont want to):
$facebook->setAccessToken($at);
with the acsess token from that i got form the localhost domain it does work and i get the user id
In older sdk 2.0 I have seen this function setBaseDomain
Is there a way i can use it in 3.1.1?
here's what I do - so when you make the request to the other domain pass along the access_token when you make the API call do something like this -
$config = array(
'appId' => $APP_ID,
'secret' => $APP_SECRET
);
$facebook = new Facebook($config);
$args['access_token'] = $_POST['token'] // or $_GET[];
$me = $facebook->api('/me', 'get', $args);
print_r($me);
So what that does then is say to FB I know the request is coming from a different server, but I have a valid token, please accept this sacrifice to mark zuckerberg and let me do things. It will accept and you're free to do as you please :)
