facebook, facebook-c#-sdk, facebook-graph-api, php

Solution

Here is the PHP code. You need to place this in your template.

<ul>
<?php
//function to retrieve posts from facebook’s server
function loadFB($fbID){
    $url = "http://graph.facebook.com/".$fbID."/feed?limit=3";
    // Update by MC Vooges 11jun 2014: Access token is now required:
    $url.= '&access_token=YOUR_TOKEN|YOUR_ACCESS_SECRET';// *

    //load and setup CURL
     $c = curl_init($url);
     curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    //get data from facebook and decode JSON
     $page = json_decode(curl_exec($c));
    //close the connection
     curl_close($c);
    //return the data as an object
     return $page->data;
}

/* Change These Values */
// Your Facebook ID
 $fbid = "190506416472588";
// How many posts to show?
 $fbLimit = 10;
// Your Timezone
date_default_timezone_set("America/Chicago");


/* Dont Change */
// Variable used to count how many we’ve loaded
 $fbCount = 0;
// Call the function and get the posts from facebook
 $myPosts = loadFB($fbid);


//loop through all the posts we got from facebook
foreach($myPosts as $dPost){
    //only show posts that are posted by the page admin
    if($dPost->from->id==$fbid){
        //get the post date / time and convert to unix time
         $dTime = strtotime($dPost->created_time);
        //format the date / time into something human readable
        //if you want it formatted differently look up the php date function
         $myTime=date("M d Y h:ia",$dTime);
        ?>
        <ul>
            <li><?php echo($dPost->message) . $myTime; ?></li>
        </ul>
        <?php
        //increment counter
         $fbCount++;
        //if we’ve outputted the number set above in fblimit we’re done
         if($fbCount >= $fbLimit) break;
    }
}
?>
</ul>

Two things you must do for working out this script.

Make sure your server is cURL enabled

You will have change the Facebook ID in the script by yours.

* You can get the access token this way:

$token = 'https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id='.APP_ID.'&client_secret='.APP_SECRET.'&grant_type=client_credentials';
$token = file_get_contents($token); // returns 'accesstoken=APP_TOKEN|APP_SECRET'
