TIMELINE : photo upload to an album

[Aditya Gada]

All photos uploaded from the rails app go to albums but are not shown on timeline.

I need every photo or album uploaded from rails app to be shown in TIMELINE of the PAGE.

Any help will be appreciated!

# fb code

      @me = FbGraph::User.me(session[:fb_access_token])

      @page = @me.accounts.detect do |p|

        p.name == 'Fast cars'

      end

#=end

#=begin # fb page create new album

      @page.album!( 

        :name => 'new', 

        :message => 'new the_message', 

        :description => 'new the_description' 

      ) 

#=end

#=begin # fb album uploads    

      @album = @page.albums.detect do |a|

        a.name == 'My albumm'

      end

      @album.photo!(

       :url => 'http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/p206x206/66381_336649373099798_873372772_n.jpg',

       :message => 'Upload Photo via URL'

      )

Could anyone help me with posting a photo to a user's profile while having that photo displayed on the user's timeline?

Thanks!

Probably you are posting photos using a user's access token.

Try this.

===

# Obtain Page's access token using page owner's access token first

page = FbGraph::Page.new('FbGraph').fetch(:access_token => ACCESS_TOKEN, :fields => :access_token)

# Post a photo using the page's token

page.photo!(

  :source => File.new(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'fb_graph.png'), 'rb'),

  :message => 'Hello, where is photo?'

)

If i posted using the user's token, the pictures wouldn't get uploaded to the page's album.

Pictures gets uploaded to the page's album by :

      @me = FbGraph::User.me(session[:fb_access_token])

      @page = @me.accounts.detect do |p|

        p.name == 'Fans of Fast cars'

      end

      album = @page.albums.last

      album.photo!(

       :url => 'http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/284038_336649929766409_476354543_n.jpg',

       :message => 'Upload Photo via URL'

      )

But its not showing up in the Page's Timeline.

I also want to picture to be shown in the timeline whenever the picture is uploaded from the app.

And : which access token should i use for ACCESS_TOKEN ? page or user?

page = FbGraph::Page.new('FbGraph').fetch(:access_token => ACCESS_TOKEN, :fields => :access_token)

[nov matake]

ACCESS_TOKEN is user token.

I used this code to post a photo into a page's album, and the photo is on the timeline.

https://www.facebook.com/FbGraph

===

page = FbGraph::Page.new('FbGraph').fetch(:access_token => ACCESS_TOKEN, :fields => :access_token)

album = page.album!(

  :name => 'FB Graph Album generated via Graph API'

)

album.photo!(

  :source => File.new(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'fb_graph.png'), 'rb'),

  :message => "Posting to #{album.name}"

)

===

ps.

I also posted your photo and saw a sexy lady on the page's timeline :p

[Aditya Gada]

Why doesn't the photos i upload go to the page's timeline ?

I think there will be some privacy options set.

does it require any other permissions other than the "manage_pages" permission ?  

Yeh she's beautiful <3

[nov matake]

Hum, I think Graph API will reject the http request itself if it's permission issue.

Can you ask FB developer support for more details?

I have no idea why the behavior is different on your side..

Hi all,

I have the same problem when post photo to facebook

This is my code:

page = FbGraph::Page.new(identifier, :access_token => session[:user_token])

page.photo!(

        :source => File.new('/home/dondinh/Desktop/13-1369-1391474513.jpg', 'rb'), # 'rb' is needed only on windows

        :message => 'Hello, where is photo?'

      )

And error message: "OAuthException :: An unexpected error has occurred. Please retry your request later. page.photo!"

Please help me

Thanks
