Question

I am using Facebook’s PHP SDK and Graph API to obtain all albums from one user, and then display them to him so he can select which album he will browse. I want them displayed in a grid, just like Facebook does: every picture with the same width and height.

The problem is that when I do:

   $fb->api('/' . $album_id . '/picture?access_token=' . $accessToken 

I get a version of the picture with the original dimensions, and not the way that Facebook shows them to you when you click on Photos, i.e. a cropped version adjusted to a fixed size.

I have tried adding ?square to the request, but still getting the same result.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Supported types for albums are thumbnail, small and album and to retrieve one of them you use:

$fb->api('/' . $album_id . '/picture?type=album&access_token=' . $accessToken
