Question

Using the Facebook PHP SDK, I’m getting the following error when I try to post a status update:

Fatal error: Uncaught OAuthException:
(#200) The user hasn’t authorized the
application to perform this action

These are the steps I’ve taken:

1. Get code:

   https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=FB_APP_ID&redirect_uri=REDIRECT_URI
   

2. Get access token:

   https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=FB_APP_ID&code=CODE&client_secret= FB_SECRET&redirect_uri=REDIRECT_URI
   

3. Attempt the status update:

   require_once(facebook.php);
   $fb = new Facebook(array(
       'appId' => FB_APP_ID,
       'secret' => FB_SECRET
   ));
   $post = $fb->api('me/feed', 'POST', array(
       'access_token' => ACCESS_TOKEN, 
       'message' => 'hello world!'
   ));
   

I don’t see any settings in my application that would authorize the application to do this, but maybe I’m missing something. Any suggestions?

Make sure you ask for extended publish_stream permission when you’re requesting code (added as the third parameter):

https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=' . FB_APP_ID . '&redirect_uri=' . REDIRECT_URI . '&scope=publish_stream'

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
