I am trying to set up some open graph meta tags on my web site and am having problems with the fb:admins user id#. When I use my id# from my FB page, 223665414363346, I get an error message when using the URL Linter ( id# for property'fb:admins' could not be parsed as type 'fbid ). When I debugg with the id# that was automatically generated with the code, 100003038822124, then everything is fine, except this # seems to be generic.
When I check my id# 223665414363346, which gives an error code in the URL Linter, with graph.facebook.com/you_user_name using my id# all of my info is listed, including my id#. When I do this with the generic id# 100003038822124, that passes the URL Linter, all I get is text saying "false".
http://www.stonewallplates.com/index.html has automatically generated fb:admins user id# 100003038822124 in the head section.
http://www.stonewallplates.com/dealers.html has my fb:admins user id# 223665414363346 in the head section.
When I set the fb:admins user id# as 223665414363346 on stonewallplates.com/index.html then I get an error code below the comment box "warning: stonewallplates.com/index.html is unreachable.
Also likes on my web site are not showing up on my Facebook page.
I have been trying to figure this out for over a week but no luck so I figure it is time to ask for help.
Thank you in advance for any help on this matter.

PS I have removed the content from fb:admins user id# since I don't have the correct # to use.
If your user ID is returning false in the Graph API it's probably because you've disabled platform- go into your privacy settings, the 'apps, games & websites' section and check you haven't disabled platform
If it's a page ID that's returning false, it's probably because the page is locked to certain locations or age ranges and you're not using an access token from someone who meets those restrictions

According to the documentation for setting error (and warning) messages you can specify a number of parameters (file, line, col, etc). What is the intended purpose of this? I've spent a fair amount of hours attempting to make use of them but I can't see GitHub actually using them.
I can confirm that title and message does work. It would be very nice if this could link directly to the code into the pull requests or action results.
How I can solve this issue in post man tired documentation but couldn't find any useful resource please help??
This error occurs in the Student Expert training, when verifying whether you have completed all of the tasks that were requested. Specifically, it relates to this element of the Get specific player request:
Before you continue with scripting, add a description to this
request—the description will appear within the collection
documentation, which you would use if you were e.g. publishing an API
for public use. In the Postman app, at the top of this request tab, to
the left of the request name, expand and and click to edit. Add a
short description of the request (you can use markdown) and click
Save. If you're using the web version, use the little documentation icon to the right of the request.
The test is looking at the Get specific player endpoint and checking whether a description has been set: expected [description] to have a length above 0 but got 0. If you add a description, save, and regenerate your public collection share link, the test will pass.
I am trying to dynamically retrieve images from Sugar CRM to display on a website. When I am logged in, the images display alright. When I am logged out, I am also denied access to the images hence the wider public will not see the images.
How can I ensure that a logged in header is sent on the webpage without exposing my username and password? Or how can I display the image on the webpage?
I had to do something like this earlier in the year. I can't provide all of the code, but my idea was to create a separate Entry Point that did not require authorization. From that Entry Point file I essentially spoofed authentication and called the normal download.php Entry Point. It went something like this (keep in mind this code was invoked by hitting index.php?module=MyModule&entryPoint=MyEntryPoint)
unset($_REQUEST);
$_REQUEST['entryPoint'] = 'download';
$_REQUEST['id'] = $focus->$field;
$_REQUEST['type'] = 'SugarFieldImage';
$_REQUEST['isTempFile'] = '1';
$_SESSION['authenticated_user_id'] = '1';
require_once('download.php');
One caveat I found there was that I needed to check first for an existing session before setting $_SESSION['authenticated_user_id'], otherwise an actual Sugar user who used the website would go back to Sugar and find that his/her session had been escalated to an Admin account(!). So, I added a check before setting it that way, and code to re-set it back to the original value. Something like this:
if(!empty($_SESSION['authenticated_user_id'])){
$old_session_id = $_SESSION['authenticated_user_id'];
}
$_SESSION['authenticated_user_id'] = '1';
require_once('download.php');
if(isset($old_session_id)){
$_SESSION['authenticated_user_id'] = $old_session_id;
}
Ok so here is what is happening:
I have a client that I am building an application for. My client has a flowchart that they would like posted on the front page of their application. Check. My client then wants this flowchart to be set up as an image map so that a user could click one of the boxes in this flowchart and be taken to a report in another part of the application. Check.
All of that is elementary and, in a technical sense, works. The issue is, and it is an issue I have encountered before with APEX, is that every time a user clicks one of these links it takes them to the login screen. It seems that linking directly to a page's URL breaks the session and requires you to login again, even if you are linking from one page in the application to another in the same application.
I have played with all of the authentication settings in a hopes of fixing this and tried to determine what is breaking the session exactly but with no luck.
Has anyone else had this problem and could share their method for fixing it? I really cant have users logging in every time they click a link and I also cannot simply remove the authentication on the pages. Thanks in advance.
You should pass on the session id in your links. If you don't, then apex will see this as a new session. You can tell from the url: take note of the session id in your url when you are on your image map. When you select an application, take another look at the session id part in the url. If they are different, then you are starting a new session each time.
/apex/f?p=190:90:1674713700462259:::::
190 -> application id
90 -> page id
1674713700462259 -> Session id
To pass on the session, it depends where you construct your links.
In PLSQL, you can find it through :SESSION or :APP_SESSION
For example, in a plsql dynamic region: htp.p('the session id is '||:SESSION);
In javascript code you can use $v("pInstance") to retrieve the value dynamically, or use &APP_SESSION. which will have the value substituted at runtime.
Small example:
function printsome(){
var d = $("<div></div>");
d.text('&APP_SESSION. = ' + $v("pInstance"));
$("body").append(d);
};
So you probably just need to alter the construction of your link somewhat to include the session!
I was assuming the binding variables will do the job. But they were helpless.
Best way is to pass the current session id to an item then use the item value in the link.
f?p=&APP_ID.:32:&P31_SESSION.:::P32_CUSTOMER_ID:#CUSTOMER_ID#
I'm having trouble with posting an image from my canvas application to the user's albums. According to the Facebook docs:
In order to publish a photo to a user’s album, you must have the publish_stream permission. With that granted, you can upload a photo by issuing an HTTP POST request with the photo content and an optional description to one these to Graph API connections:
https://graph.facebook.com/USER_ID/photos - The photo will be published to an album created for your app. We automatically create an album for your app if it does not already exist. All photos uploaded this way will then be added to this same album.
https://graph.facebook.com/ALBUM_ID/photos - The photo will be published to a specific, existing photo album, represented by the ALBUM_ID.
So, going by point one, if I upload an image like this...
Facebook.api("me/photos",imagePostCallback,{message:"",image:myImageBitmap,fileName:''},URLRequestMethod.POST);
...then I can expect it to place my image in an album named for my app, which it will create if necessary?
Not so.
What actually happens when the album doesn't exist is that the uploaded image is pushed into any other handy albums that exist, which are usually for (and created by) other applications. This is a bit of a pain.
So far I've tried the following:
Disabling sandbox mode. I had thought that the app might be unable to create new albums because it was in sandbox mode, however disabling sandbox mode made no difference and I can create albums directly with it enabled.
Checking for the existence of my album and creating it if necessary. I can check for my album and create it if it does not exist, but I cannot then upload an image because the POST call to Facebook.api to upload the image will fail if it is not called as a direct result of a user interaction.
And so now I'm a bit stumped. Obviously I can't have the possibility of my app posting images to a competitors album, but at the moment the only alternative I can see will involve effectively making the user submit their image twice if an album has to be created. Any ideas?
I'm guessing you need the access_token in your params :) When posting something on a user's facebook, you always need this one (not always necessary when getting information). The way to get the accesstoken is shown below :)
public function post():void
{
var _params:Object = new Object();
_params.access_token = Facebook.getSession().accessToken;
_params.message = "";
_params.image = myImageBitmap;
_params.fileName = "";
Facebook.api("me/photos", imagePostCallback, _params, URLRequestMethod.POST);
}
also make sure that you have the right permissions when asking for permissions with your app.
EDIT
Ok, so I've missed your edit a bit there ;) it should be possible to create your own album. Take a look at this php-code for graph api. The code should also be able to be parsed to AS3.
http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/498/
EDIT2
ok, i've done some more digging (seemed interesting to know). This should actually work when using graph api.
FB.api('/me/albums', albumCreateCallback, {name: 'name of the album', message: 'description of the album'}, URLRequestMethod.POST);
When you then call for another api call to upload your image in the albumCreateCallback, it should work and upload your image (according to what i've found).
