This branch (Master) will be kept to support SDKv4. I am currently working on supporting Facebook SDKv5. Although it works, it is still going thru testing and at Beta. Go to the 'sdk5' branch for instructions on how to install and test.
A CakePHP 3.x Plugin to allow Facebook Login into an application.
- CakePHP 3.x with Auth component correctly setup. Refer to http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/controllers/components/authentication.html for setup
- PHP 5.4.6+
- Facebook PHP SDK 4.0+
- Users Table with at least the following columns
facebook_id varchar(20)
first_name
// can be set in configlast_name
// can be set in configusername
// can be set in configpassword
// can be set in config
For existing applications that already have a first_name
, last_name
, username
and password
already created with a different column name, you can dynamically set it in configuration options when loading the Component
to your AppController.php
file. See section 2 of Configuration below
NOTE: Facebook PHP SDK is a requirement. Composer will automatically install Facebook for you if not already installed. If manual download is chosen, you must download the Facebook Source into vendor/facebook/php-sdk-v4
and make sure it can be loaded by the composer. Else you need to manually include FAcebook's autoload.php
file in your application's bootstrap.php
.
- Facebook Graph Component
- Facebook Graph Helper
- $this->Facebook->loginLink()
- $this->Facebook->likeButton()
- $this->Facebook->shareButton()
- $this->Facebook->sendButton()
- $this->Facebook->followButton()
- $this->Facebook->comments()
- $this->Facebook->embeddedPosts()
- $this->Facebook->embeddedVideo()
- $this->Facebook->page()
***** See below for more details on how to use each
- Add the following to your
composer.json
located in the root of your application, in therequire
section . ie./var/www/domain.com/composer.json
"require": {
"akkaweb/cakephp-facebook": "dev-master"
}
- Run the following at the root of your application
sudo php composer.phar update
Note: if composer.phar
is not found, you need to install it. Follow CakePHP's documentation here -> http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/installation.html. Refer to Installing Cakephp section
git clone git@github.com:akkaweb/AKKA-CakePHP-Facebook-Plugin.git
https://github.com/akkaweb/AKKA-CakePHP-Facebook-Plugin/archive/master.zip
Note: When installing with either manual download or Git Clone and CakePHP complains it cannot find the plugin, you need to add the plugin to vendor/cakephp-plugins.php
in the plugins
array [] --> 'AkkaFacebook' => $baseDir . '/plugins/AkkaFacebook/'
. If you are using composer, running php composer.phar dumpautoload
could be sufficient. If it does not work add the following to the "autoload"
section in the root application's composer.json
file in the "psr-4":
section: "AkkaFacebook\\": "./plugins/AkkaFacebook/src"
- Load the plugin in your application's
bootstrap.php
file:
Plugin::load('AkkaFacebook', ['bootstrap' => false, 'routes' => true]);
- Load the plugin's component in
AppController.php
Note: You need to obtain your facebook App Id
and App Secret
from http://developers.facebook.com. Once you are on that page and have an App created, you can retrieve your App Id
and App Secret
. Make sure you add your domain to App Domains
in the Settings
page.
user_columns
is optional and should only be used if your Users
database columns defer from the defaults as specified in the Requirement section, above.
public function initialize(){
parent::initialize();
$this->loadComponent('AkkaFacebook.Graph', [
'app_id' => 'your-fb-app-id',
'app_secret' => 'your-fb-app-secret',
'app_scope' => 'email,public_profile', // https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.4
'redirect_url' => Router::url(['controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'login'], TRUE), // This should be enabled by default
'post_login_redirect' => '' //ie. Router::url(['controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'account'], TRUE)
// 'user_columns' => ['first_name' => 'fname', 'last_name' => 'lname', 'username' => 'uname', 'password' => 'pass'] //not required
]);
}
Note: FacebookHelper is automatically loaded by the Graph Component
. If that is not desired, add 'enable_graph_helper' => false,
to $this->loadComponent()
above.

Although we have done many tests to ensure this plugin works as intended, we advise you to use it at your own risk. As with anything else, you should first test any addition to your application in a test environment. Please provide any fixes or enhancements via issue or pull request.
