I am currently having issues with the 60 day access_token. I grab the fansite access_token thru \/me\/applications and I want to post on them, without the need for refreshing the site every 2 hours.<\/p>\n

When I’m parsing the token for the fansite in the way facebook provides it just throws an error.<\/p>\n

The login is handled thru Javascript and in the background with the PHP SDK.<\/p>\n

Greetings, Moritz<\/p>\n

Edit:<\/p>\n

{\"error_code\":1,\"error_msg\":\"An unknown error occurred\"}<\/code> is the error.<\/p>\n

Code is this:<\/p>\n

$attachment = array('message' => $post['title'],\n                        'link' => $unique,\n                        'actions' => '{\"name\": \"Fanseiten Admin?\", \"link\": \"http:\/\/google.com\"}',\n                        'access_token' => $page['access_token']);\n$result = $facebook->api('\/'.$page['pageid'].'\/feed', 'post', $attachment);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Simply pushes to a site with the access token stored in a database.<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. \n
    I found the solution: extend the base_facebook.php class with following and call<\/p>\n
    $facebook->setAccessToken($facebook->getExtendedAccessToken());\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    The access_token for apps also now extends to 60 days.<\/p>\n
    public function getExtendedAccessToken(){\n\n    try {\n        \/\/ need to circumvent json_decode by calling _oauthRequest\n        \/\/ directly, since response isn't JSON format.\n        $access_token_response =\n            $this->_oauthRequest(\n                $this->getUrl('graph', '\/oauth\/access_token'), array(\n                    'client_id' => $this->getAppId(),\n                    'client_secret' => $this->getAppSecret(),\n                    'grant_type'=>'fb_exchange_token',\n                    'fb_exchange_token'=>$this->getAccessToken()\n                )\n            );\n    } catch (FacebookApiException $e) {\n        \/\/ most likely that user very recently revoked authorization.\n        \/\/ In any event, we don't have an access token, so say so.\n        return false;\n    }\n\n    if (empty($access_token_response)) {\n        return false;\n    }\n\n    $response_params = array();\n    parse_str($access_token_response, $response_params);\n    if (!isset($response_params['access_token'])) {\n        return false;\n    }\n\n    return $response_params['access_token'];\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
