Hi
I'm trying to integrate facebook into a back end, enable the user to post to the companies facebook page from a CMS. I've looked at tutsplus tutorial and the facebook developer pages
I've found this package: https://github.com/thomaswelton/laravel-facebook
I've set it up and created an app in facebook, set up the details in config.
I'm now trying to access basic details such as 'getUser()' feeds using an api call but getting no where fast.
I tried using the facebook SDK direct and following the various turorials but still struggling to get any results. - I get zero or null returns for getUser or feeds.
Here's my code:
$facebook = new FB(array(
'appId'=>Config::get('laravel-facebook::appId'),
'secret'=>Config::get('laravel-facebook::secret'),
'cookie'=>true
));
try {
$fbUser = $facebook->getUser();
$args = array('access_token' => $facebook->getAccessToken());
$feeds = $facebook->api('/' . Config::get('laravel-facebook::pageId') . '/feed', 'GET', $args);
dd($feeds);
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
echo 'Caught exception: ', $e->getMessage(), "\n";
exit;
}
This is just test code. I don't know enough about facebook or the SDK yet. With the app credentials do I need to add a log in? I'm not getting oAuth errors - I tested and used duff data in the config which threw an authentication error.
Getting very confused - just don't know where to start
Any help appreciated
