SInce Facebook have changed it's libraries and APIs how does this affects the provided PHP Kontagent library?
Read about the changes here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/upgrade
Does the PHP Kontagent library work against the new PHP SDK library from Facebook (http://github.com/facebook/php-sdk)?
Comments
I have the same question. How do we use kontagent for dashboard news and activity API?
We are working on a new PHP client library based on the new Facebook PHP SDK to make it more convenient to instrument your apps. The code and doc should be ready in a matter of weeks. In the meantime, feel free to browse the code and play around with it: http://github.com/kontagent/php-sdk
In any case, you could still directly use the underlying Web Services REST API, which also provides more flexibility. More details here: http://developers.kontagent.com/getting-started/instrumenting-your-...
I've been working on the new kontagent php library based off of the new fb php sdk. If you've already played around with the new facebook sdk, you'll see that the require_login() call is missing. I added that back in there in our library since I think you guys need it for the authorization process. In any case, I will check in my documentation (a text file) so far on git later today, so you guys can read more about it.

Hi Lih. Any update on this? When can we expect a fully working version to run off the new facebook sdk? We have instrumented our test application with your github code in its current state. We have everything working except for installs and removes, I understand this is where alot of trouble comes into play with regards to the updated facebook authentication system. Should these calls work by following the existing documentation in github? If not, Do you plan on releasing a working version anytime soon, or are we on our own to instrument these calls.
Thanks
Thanks
Yeah, any update on this?
Hi all,
The version on github is the working version. James Baker, please forward me your questions in regards to tracking installs. I'll help you to get that working. Remove, on the other hand, has stopped working, since Facebook has stopped sending the necessary facebook user information to track that properly.
Hi Lih,
I just downloaded the latest Kontagent and the latest facebook php code, and they don't seem compatible. Kontagent is trying to make this call: $fb->api_client->admin_getAppProperties(...), but the version of facebook.php I just grabbed doesn't have an api_client object, and it's not an obvious fix.
Any ideas?
cheers,
Mike
Hi - so I found it. The Documentation on the Kontagent website appears to be all wrong. It sent me to kontagent-php-client-library and NOT php-sdk - you guys might want to update the documentation....
cheers,
Mike (pretending to be Ryan)
ya, you guys have to take that old stuff down. It's very confusing. Hello?
Hi there,
We will be overhauling our documentation soon to catch up with the evolution of our product. In the meantime, the links have been fixed.
Thanks for your understanding and for helping each other out!
Hi,
I've downloaded the latest PHP client library and am also using the latest Facebook client library. When I access the example PHP file provided in you PHP SDK on the canvas page of my app I'm getting this error:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method Facebook::get_facebook_url() in /var/www/html/facebook/client/facebookapi_php5_restlib.php on line 83
I've gone through the code and there is no reference to using the old library so i'm baffled as to why I'm getting this error.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Scratch that... I found where it's trying to use the old Facebook API.
In kt/config.php (generated by running php -f kt_setup.php)
includes an_client/kt_facebook.php
includes an_client/ktapi_php5_rest_lib.php
includes ../facebookapi_php5_restlib.php
Is this what it's supposed to do? The reason I ask is the files in an_client/ were not included in the SDK zip file that I downloaded.
Ok, found the problem. Apparently my mistake was following the instruction to generate the kt_config.php file by running php -f kt_setup.php which was in the instructions on instrumenting your application.
I did find a bug in kt_facebook.php however. If the user has given offline permissions to the app I get an error at line 148 (in bold):
$session = array('access_token' => $oauth_struct[0]->access_token,
'session_key' => $_REQUEST['fb_sig_session_key'],
'expires'=> $oauth_struct[0]->expires,
'uid' => $uid);
$oauth_struct[0]->expires does not exist in this scenario so to fix this I changed the code to:
$session = array('access_token' => $oauth_struct[0]->access_token,
'session_key' => $_REQUEST['fb_sig_session_key'],
//'expires'=> $oauth_struct[0]->expires,
'uid' => $uid);
// If user has offline permissions granted to the app expires property does not exist
if (isset($oauth_struct[0]->expires)) {
$session['expires'] = $oauth_struct[0]->expires;
}
I've attached my modified kt_facbook.php file.
people are still getting tripped up following the old tutorial? based on FB code from like a year ago?
you guys should really take that down!
