Our 1st FB App (PHP SDK) - Latest Source Package and Add-ons

The latest addon is 1.9 (updated on 23Nov2010).

• For the changelog, please visit here.

As a reminder, the online tutorials will help you to build "Our 1st FB App (PHP SDK) v1.0".

• If you are following the tutorials and want to compare what you have done against my work, then getting the source code for v1.0 should be a better choice. Once you feel comfortable developing app on Facebook by using the PHP SDK, then get the code package for the latest version.

Setting up the Base Application (v1.4)

First of all, download the source package for v1.4 (this would be the base version for future add-ons).

(version 1.4 source package)

Before uploading the files to your web application server, please perform the followings:

• You need to update the application specific data in config.php, which includes
  • $appid
  • $appsecret
  • $canvas_base_url
  • database related info
• Edit php_migrate.php by setting the cancel_url according to your app settings.
  
  
• Run the "dtable.sqp" script to create your local database
  • this table is required for storing the access_token for demonstrating offline publishing
    
    
• Of course, you need to register your application in Facebook.
  • While application tab is supported, remember to specify a tab name and set the tab URL as "app_tab.php"

 

Applying the Add-ons

Once you have setup the base application, you can base on your need to download the corresponding add-ons.

To install the add-on, simply add the files to your base application folder and upload them to your web server. Especially instructions, if any, will be included in the readme.txt of each add-on.
