Question

I haven’t tried messing with the facebook PHP API for months. Since template bundles are apparently now defunct, how can I publish a story into my users news feed for their friends? I’ve also already requested permissions.

Edit: The issue seems to arise from requested permissions not being set for the user when They are granted.

So far I have this

$appapikey = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$appsecret = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$facebook = new Facebook($appapikey, $appsecret);
$fb_user = $facebook->require_login();

try {
    $facebook->api_client->feed_publishUserAction();
} catch(Exception $e) { }

Edit: I’ve looked through the facebook “api documentation” multiple times it’s just not clear to me. I can’t tell what’s actually deprecated or not. They link to tutorials 2-3 years old!

If you have a problem with your iframe application reloading over and over and over try using

$facebook->require_frame()

Have you already looked up the topic on the facebook wiki? http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Stream.publish

There’s a nice example which should help you out. If not, you’ll have to describe your problem more accurate.

EDIT: You can check and request for the permissions like this (and also request them)

function check_perms() {

    global $facebook, $uid;

    $data = $facebook->api_client->fql_query( "SELECT uid, publish_stream FROM permissions WHERE uid = " . $uid );
    if( $data[0]['publish_stream'] != true ) {
        echo '<br /><p>No \'publish_stream\' permissons found!<br />';
        echo '<fb:prompt-permission perms="publish_stream"> Allow me to publish to your wall (*click*) </fb:prompt-permission>';
        echo '<br />You\'ll have to refresh the page to continue.</p>';
        die();
    }

}
