Photo and Me

Haven’t post any photo for awhile since there is Facebook album. this time nothing about programming. just a new picture for little Ellen.

My little niece Ellen has grown up a lot, but she is still so small like a doll.

I am building a library in Zend Framework to make my web app easier to work with Facebook. So far I have modified on Zend_Oauth and create my own Oauth library so it fits with Facebook Oauth Scheme and it seems everything working well just I haven’t put down any comments yet because i still investigate what I have missed so far.. (Zend_Oauth Library seems to have more functionality which I have omitted some functions because they seem not fitting with facebook Oauth such as Post Header method which I think I can only work on Get method, but I am still investigating on it…)

This is just a note for me how I test my code to retrieve Facebook Access Token though my Zend Application since Zend_OAuth is not really useful here:

class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{

     const APP_ID = YOUR_APP_ID;
     const APP_SECRET = YOUR APP SECRET;

    public function init()
    {
        /* Initialize action controller here */
    }

      public function indexAction()
    {
       // redirect user to authorized url.  Usually you may want to make a pop up link to open this...
         $this->_helper->redirector->gotoUrl(
               'https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id='.
               self::APP_ID.
               '&redirect_uri=YOUR_CALLBACK_URL');

    }

    public function oauthAction() {
        // if succuess will get 'code' parameters
        $code = $this->getRequest()->getParam('code');

        if (null !== $code)
        {
           //  This will return an access_token and expiry if success
          // $content will be 'access_token=.....&expiry=.....'
            $content = file_get_contents(
            'https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id='.
            self::APP_ID.
            '&redirect_uri=YOUR_CALLBACK_URL'.
            '&client_secret='.self::APP_SECRET.
            '&code='.$code);

          //you may want to parse $content so you can retrieve access_token alone
          // Simple Test to retrieve user information
           $this->view->user = json_decode(
                                file_get_contents(
                                    'https://graph.facebook.com/me?'.
                                    $content));

        }
        else {
            // Error Code to handle.. probably user not authorize
        }

    }
}

My view script file:

User Name:  <?= $this->user->name; ?>

Just an idea. maybe should write a service to do all the procedures like Zend_Service_Twitter.
