I use below code to post an url to facebook page as a admin but if i post an message,it is posting but it is not posting photos and url.
$args = array(
'access_token' => token,
'message' => $url
);
$wall = $facebook->api("/".$pid."/feed","post",$args);
Is there any other function that does that?
You need to add
'caption'
'link'
'picture'
variables to your array to show a picture with a caption and a link to a url.

I want to post activities from page tab app to my own facebook page. I referred many documents to post message to app.
My php code :
$GLOBALS["facebook"] = new \Facebook_Facebook(array('appId' => $facebook_app_id, 'secret' => $facebook_secret,));
$page_info = $GLOBALS["facebook"]->api("/pageid?fields=access_token");
print_r($page_info);die;
if (!empty($page_info['access_token'])) {
$args = array(
'access_token' => $page_info['access_token'],
'message' => 'TEST'
);
$postId = $facebook->api("/pageid/feed", "post", $args);
But pageinfo variable has only id. I'm not getting access_token. Any idea what else need to be done?
We need manage_pages permission which we can get it using https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=client_app_id&client_secret=9ea3e2eff7c65b1fcf1a633da&redirect_uri=YOUR_REDIRECT_URL&scope=read_stream,publish_stream,offline_access,manage_pages.
After that using above code we will get access token which can be used to publish to our page
If I post a link, it shows up ad posted by me as user. If I post a message, it shows up as posted by the page itself. Why is that? I need the link to show up as posted by the page, not me. The page is mine.
$attachment = array(
'access_token' => 'page-token-here',
'image' => $code->image_urls,
'name' => $code->title,
'link' => $short_url,
);
$page_id="page-id-here";
$res = $facebook->api('/'.$page_id.'/feed','POST',$attachment);
I am trying to use the Graph API to post on the wall of the authenticated user.
The issue which I am facing is when I try to share a post e.g.
http://www.facebook.com/surendrakumar.in/posts/486644641373819
using Graph API to the users feed
$story_url = "http://www.facebook.com/surendrakumar.in/posts/486644641373819"
$ret_obj = $facebook->api('/me/feed', 'POST',
array(
'access_token' => $fb_access_token,
'link' => $story_url,
'message' => ($msg != "" ? $msg : "")
));
Then the post which is getting shared in the Facebook is only a link, which is not expected.
Expected :
Post on the wall with http://www.facebook.com/surendrakumar.in/posts/486644641373819 link and details of the post, preview etc.
Actual:
Only a link is posted. no preview, and any other information.
Put the link within the message text.
I.E.:
$story_url = "http://www.facebook.com/surendrakumar.in/posts/486644641373819"
$ret_obj = $facebook->api('/me/feed', 'POST',
array(
'access_token' => $fb_access_token,
'message' => ($msg != "" ? $msg."\n".$story_url : "".$story_url)
));
I'm building application to post statuses from authenticated users like that one.
The problem is the application posting from my profile on friends wall who authenticated the application from my profile.
I'm using Facebook API with CodeIgniter.
the code
$userId = $this->facebook->getUser();
$IDs = $this->facebook_data->get_IDs();
if(isset($_POST['link'])){
$args = array(
'from' => array('name'=>'Resala','id'=>'294357147348261'),
'application'=>array('name'=>'XXXX','id'=>'XXXXX'),
'name' =>'XXXX',
'message' => $_POST['status2'],
'link' => $_POST['link']
);
}else{
$args = array(
'from' => array('name'=>'Resala','id'=>'294357147348261'),
'application'=>array('name'=>'Resala','id'=>'XXXXX'),
'name' =>'XXXX',
'message' => $_POST['status1']
);
}
foreach($IDs->result() as $row){
$ID=$row->user_id;
$this->facebook->api("/$ID/feed", "post", $args);
}
The right docs for creating a post are:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/#posts
There you can see the params "from" and "application" don't exist and "name (can only be used if link is specified)".
It's not possible to post in the name of an app. You can only post in the name of an page (that may be assosiated with the app).
Therefor you have to use the page access token instead of the user access token.
See: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/page/#page_access_tokens
I have a blog site written in php and it posts new blog posts to twitter and a blog ping automatically under the hood using simple http post requests passed using php curl.
I have a facebook page for the blog site and want the updates to be posted to the wall on the page, is there a simple way to do this?
What I really want is a url and set of params to parcel up as an http post request.
Note that this is to post to the wall on a new style page not a profile.
Get PHP SDK from github and run the following code:
<?php
$attachment = array(
'message' => 'this is my message',
'name' => 'This is my demo Facebook application!',
'caption' => "Caption of the Post",
'link' => 'http://mylink.com',
'description' => 'this is a description',
'picture' => 'http://mysite.com/pic.gif',
'actions' => array(
array(
'name' => 'Get Search',
'link' => 'http://www.google.com'
)
)
);
$result = $facebook->api('/me/feed/', 'post', $attachment);
the above code will Post the message on to your wall... and if you want to post onto your friends or others wall then replace me with the Facebook User Id of that user..for further information look out the API Documentation.
This works for me:
try {
$statusUpdate = $facebook->api('/me/feed', 'post',
array('name'=>'My APP on Facebook','message'=> 'I am here working',
'privacy'=> array('value'=>'CUSTOM','friends'=>'SELF'),
'description'=>'testing my description',
'picture'=>'https://fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net/mypicture.gif',
'caption'=>'apps.facebook.com/myapp','link'=>'http://apps.facebook.com/myapp'));
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
d($e);
}
Harish has the answer here - except you need to request manage_pages permission when authenticating and then using the page-id instead of me when posting....
$result = $facebook->api('page-id/feed/','post',$attachment);
You can not post to Facebook walls automatically without creating an application and using the templated feed publisher as Frank pointed out.
The only thing you can do is use the 'share' widgets that they provide, which require user interaction.
If your blog outputs an RSS feed you can use Facebook's "RSS Graffiti" application to post that feed to your wall in Facebook. There are other RSS Facebook apps as well; just search "Facebook for RSS apps"...
You can make api calls by choosing the HTTP method and setting optional parameters:
$facebook->api('/me/feed/', 'post', array(
'message' => 'I want to display this message on my wall'
));
Submit Post to Facebook Wall :
Include the fbConfig.php file to connect Facebook API and get the
access token.
Post message, name, link, description, and the picture will be submitted to Facebook wall.
Post submission status will be shown.
If FB access token ($accessToken) is not available, the Facebook Login
URL will be generated and the user would be redirected to the FB login
page.
Post to facebook wall php sdk
<?php
//Include FB config file
require_once 'fbConfig.php';
if(isset($accessToken)){
if(isset($_SESSION['facebook_access_token'])){
$fb->setDefaultAccessToken($_SESSION['facebook_access_token']);
}else{
// Put short-lived access token in session
$_SESSION['facebook_access_token'] = (string) $accessToken;
// OAuth 2.0 client handler helps to manage access tokens
$oAuth2Client = $fb->getOAuth2Client();
// Exchanges a short-lived access token for a long-lived one
$longLivedAccessToken = $oAuth2Client->getLongLivedAccessToken($_SESSION['facebook_access_token']);
$_SESSION['facebook_access_token'] = (string) $longLivedAccessToken;
// Set default access token to be used in script
$fb->setDefaultAccessToken($_SESSION['facebook_access_token']);
}
//FB post content
$message = 'Test message from CodexWorld.com website';
$title = 'Post From Website';
$link = 'http://www.codexworld.com/';
$description = 'CodexWorld is a programming blog.';
$picture = 'http://www.codexworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/www-codexworld-com-programming-blog.png';
$attachment = array(
'message' => $message,
'name' => $title,
'link' => $link,
'description' => $description,
'picture'=>$picture,
);
try{
//Post to Facebook
$fb->post('/me/feed', $attachment, $accessToken);
//Display post submission status
echo 'The post was submitted successfully to Facebook timeline.';
}catch(FacebookResponseException $e){
echo 'Graph returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
exit;
}catch(FacebookSDKException $e){
echo 'Facebook SDK returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
exit;
}
}else{
//Get FB login URL
$fbLoginURL = $helper->getLoginUrl($redirectURL, $fbPermissions);
//Redirect to FB login
header("Location:".$fbLoginURL);
}
