I have a problem with adding a post on a page as a page.
I use the following code:
$app_id = "xxx";
$app_secret = "xxx";
$my_url = base_url().'admin/facebook/';
if(isset($_GET["code"])) {
$code = $_GET["code"];
} else {
$code = '';
}
if(empty($code)) {
$_SESSION['state'] = md5(uniqid(rand(), TRUE)); //CSRF protection
$dialog_url = "http://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id="
. $app_id . "&redirect_uri=" . urlencode($my_url) . "&scope=manage_pages,publish_stream,offline_access&state="
. $_SESSION['state'];
echo("<script> top.location.href='" . $dialog_url . "'</script>");
}
if($_GET['state'] == $_GET['state']) {
$token_url = "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?"
. "client_id=" . $app_id . "&redirect_uri=" . urlencode($my_url)
. "&client_secret=" . $app_secret . "&code=" . $code;
$response = @file_get_contents($token_url);
$params = null;
parse_str($response, $params);
$graph_url = "https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=".$params['access_token'];
$user = json_decode(file_get_contents($graph_url));
echo("Hello " . $user->name);
$pageID = '212154388861617';
// post to wall (feed is wall post, just update to whatever you want to publish to)
try {
//153406078098666
$publishStream = $this->fb_ignited->api("212154388861617/feed", 'post', array(
'message' => "Test message",
'access_token' => $params['access_token']
)
);
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
die($e);
}
}
else {
echo("The state does not match. You may be a victim of CSRF.");
}
The post is correctly being added on my page but the post is being added as my user-account and not as my page-account.
How can i post as a page?
Or isn’t this possible?
Solution: I added this piece of code
$result = $this->fb_ignited->api("/me/accounts", array('access_token' => $params['access_token']));
foreach($result["data"] as $page) {
if($page["id"] == $pageID) {
$page_access_token = $page["access_token"];
break;
}
}
You’re using user’s
access_tokenwhile you need to use pageaccess_token.This can be obtained via Graph API from
