I am trying to implement the method described in this post: http://www.addthis.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=24637 to get my Addthis button to act the way I need it to. I have posted on the site, but have gotten no response.

I cannot get it to work. Can anybody have a look at the code below and see if they can help? Thanks

The PHP I need to modify is:

    if (isset($_GET['pageno'])) {
    $pageno = $_GET['pageno'];
} else {

I'm wondering if anyone can help me find/create a script which allows a preview of a link to be generated?

Basically I need a user to be able to simply enter a url and click submit and then a preview of that link will be shown in the form of some text and an image. Very similar to what Facebook does when a user shares a link. I think they use the description tag of the site in general.

Can anyone point me in the right direction in doing this? I need to be able to do it in php/javascript alone without the use of jquery or plugins.

Hi,   I've added social sharing icons to every article on the homepage. Now they just share the page itself - the idea is to share that (wordpress) post/article. I've succeeded to do so with facebook likes on the English version with adding 

<div class="fb-like" data-href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"

Now I want to do the same with these 3 share icons:

<div class="social-content"><?php if (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE=='zh-hans'): ?><div class="bshare-custom"><div class="bsPromo bsPromo2"></div><a title="分享到微信" class="bshare-weixin" href="javascript:void(0);"></a><a title="分享到新浪微博" class="bshare-sinaminiblog" href="javascript:void(0);"></a><a title="分享到QQ空间" class="bshare-qzone"></a><a title="更多平台" class="bshare-more bshare-more-icon more-style-addthis"></a><span class="BSHARE_COUNT bshare-share-count" style="float: none;">19.5K</span></div><?php endif; ?></div>

Can this be done by adding PHP? I'm not sure where I would have to add this...   Thanks Attached Files  csr1.jpg   38.34KB   0 downloads

Dear Friends,

I have 3 different Applications under the same server.
http://myserver/App1, http://myserver/App2 and http://myserver/App3

Please, could you help me to share info between them?

App1 is a "User Admin Application". Here the user should do the login. After the login, the User should be able to open App2 or/and App3
I have tried with SESSION and COOKIES. As I am under the same server, I think, I am doing something wrong. Or SESSION and/or COOKIES doesn't will work?

Thank you.

I need to know if this is even possible.  I have found conflicting information on this online. 

Anyway, here is what I want to do.  I have two websites that reside on the same dedicated server.  Both have different IP's.  www.mywebsite1.com and www.mywebsite2.com. 

I need a user that logs in at www.mywebsite1.com to be able to pass the $_SESSION from www.mywebsite1.com to www.mywebsite2.com.  Any help on this would be cool.  Thanks in advance.

Ryan

My setup: (everything on a local network)
Web server: Ubuntu Server 8.10 -- Workgroup
File server: Windows Server 2008 x64 -- domain
Test server: Win 2000 running WAMP -- domain

I'm trying to run the code snippet below. $file is a file on the File server above. It definitely exists.
Running the code below on the Test server works perfectly. But the file cannot be found when running from the Web server.
$file = '//server/share/file.txt';
if (file_exists($file))
echo 'yay!';
else
echo 'error';

What with the safe mode considerations, I've also tried to add:
ini_set('safe_mode', 'Off'); to no effect. And since file, and fopen similarly not work, I'm pretty sure it's not that either.

The File & Test servers are on the same Windows domain, but that's definitely not the reason. I tried the code on a file on a Linux computer in the Workgroup (where the Web server is) with the same results: Test server works, Web server does not.

Please advise; I'm really lost.

Hi, I have a page whihc gets Daily motion URL from another page and also location of Image. I have Face book share button on this page and want to show my inage while trying to share on FB.   unfortunatley face book picks something wrong , and I use Open Graph Debug library then temporarily this picture issue gets resolved but it re-occures again if another URL is selected for sharing purpose.   Code written in  header of my page:   <meta property="og:title" content="Greate Web SIte"/>

?>                


<meta property="og:site_name" content="my Heading"/>
<meta property="og:description" content="Bla Bla bla."/>       Following is the java script that I have pasted under body tag: <div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];

  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.0";
  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>

Hi Guys,

I am using the PHP Facebook code with my app;

<?php    $app_id = "";   $app_secret = "";   $my_url = "";   session_start();   $code = $_REQUEST["code"];   if(empty($code)) {     $_SESSION['state'] = md5(uniqid(rand(), TRUE)); //CSRF protection     $dialog_url = "https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id="        . $app_id . "&redirect_uri=" . urlencode($my_url) . "&state="       . $_SESSION['state'];     echo("<script> top.location.href='" . $dialog_url . "'</script>");   }   if($_REQUEST['state'] == $_SESSION['state']) {     $token_url = "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?"       . "client_id=" . $app_id . "&redirect_uri=" . urlencode($my_url)       . "&client_secret=" . $app_secret . "&code=" . $code;     $response = @file_get_contents($token_url);     $params = "user_questions";     parse_str($response, $params);     $graph_url = "https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token="        . $params['access_token'];     $user = json_decode(file_get_contents($graph_url));     echo("Hello " . $user->name);   }   else {     echo("The state does not match. You may be a victim of CSRF.");   } ?>()

However I am having issues with the permissions, I can only ever get it to ask for "Yout basic info" when it needs to ask for more than that.

Any ideas why?

Cheers in advance.

On Facebook, when you click on "view friends" on one of your friends' profile, a window pops up. Is that made with PHP? Or is it flash or something? In case it's PHP, what would you use to make something like that? Thank you in advance!

At work I wrote many classes/function that are hundreds of lines of code. This code rarely changes, but it does happen. Some of this code is also used in all 4 of the sites.

Problem right now is I have "4 sites" with duplicate code on them (copy/pasted). All on a single server running IIS. How can set this up so all 4 sites "share" the same PHP code?

My temporary "dirty" fix to this has been to: Setup a 5th site in IIS. Setup a firewall rule to block any access to it, then rename all my PHP files to ".txt" files then simple do "require "somePHPcode.txt" (this way IIS wont "run them" before sending them).

This works, but its not very elegant. Got a better method?

Hi all,

I am a beginner for PHP.  I created a site & now I want to add a wall post to my Facebook Page.  This post should be posted via PHP when I add a post to my site, without manually adding that on Facebook Page.   I referred Facebook Developer documentations, but those are really mess for me.    I really don't want this to do with php-sdk or any other.    I want to do this manually.   

Thanks

Hi there!

First, i must say that i have no php knowledge, maybe a 1%

Here is what i want to do:

I have wordpress, with a plugin called Facebook connect, it has a cool feature where you can invite your facebook friends, it looks like this:

http://dailyerz.com/login/?fbconnect_action=invite

And i am also using cubepoints, a plugin that rewards users with points. I want to reward users for every user they invite.

From the cube points docs http://techcube.net/docs/1.3/docs.html
i got this:

Quote

The following code will add 10 points to the current logged in user. If no user is logged in, no points will be added. You may input negative number to subtract points.


<php
  if( function_exists('cp_alterPoints') && is_user_logged_in() ){
    cp_alterPoints(cp_currentUser(), 10);
  }
?>

and the invite.php of facebook connect looks like this:

<?php get_header(); 
$fb_user = fb_get_loggedin_user();
?>
<div style="padding:20px;" >
<?php if(FBCONNECT_CANVAS=="web") : ?>
  <fb:serverfbml style="width: 100%;">
    <script type="text/fbml">
      <fb:fbml>
<?php endif; ?>       
      
          <fb:request-form
                    action="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>"
                    method="GET"
                    invite="true"
                    type="<?php echo get_option('blogname');?>"
                    content="<?php echo get_option('blogname')." : ".get_option('blogdescription'); ?>
                 <fb:req-choice url='<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>'
                       label='<?php _e('Become a Member!', 'fbconnect') ?>' />
              "
              >
 
                    <fb:multi-friend-selector
rows="5"
email_invite="false"
cols="3"
                    showborder="false"
                    actiontext="<?php _e('Invite your friends to Dailyerz.', 'fbconnect') ?>">
        </fb:request-form>
<?php if(FBCONNECT_CANVAS=="web") : ?>
      </fb:fbml>
 
    </script>
  </fb:serverfbml>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>


Any idea on how to make this work? Do i have to create a Facebook App? 

Thanks!
