facebook page posting not working properly

Question

Posting photos/videos in Facebook page from php application does not give any error but the post does not show up in page feed.

Same code used to work before the new facebook rules came.

Following are the permission i have taken to post on page:

publish_actions,manage_pages

code used:

    $config = array();
    $config['appId'] = '{appid}';
    $config['secret'] = '{app secret}';

    $facebook = new Facebook($config);

    $facebook->setAccessToken({fb_token});
    $facebook->setFileUploadSupport(true);
    $params = array(
                          'message'       =>  "{title}",
                          'name'          =>  "{name}",
                          'link'          =>  "{link}",
                          'picture'       =>  "{picture url}",

                      );
$facebook->api("{page-id}/feed","POST",$params); 

Thank you in advance for any help.

Answer 1

Two things may be the problem:

• You are trying with a user without a role in your App - for that, you will have to get those permissions approved by Facebook in the review process.
• You are using an App Access Token, but a Page Access Token is what you need. Here are some articles about getting a Page Token and Access Tokens in general:
  • https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens/
  • http://www.devils-heaven.com/facebook-access-tokens/
  • http://www.devils-heaven.com/extended-page-access-tokens-curl/

Also, use try-catch to check for any errors, and see if the API call responds:

try {
    $response = $facebook->api("{page-id}/feed","POST",$params);
    var_dump($response);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    var_dump($e);
}
