SebSoSocial

A simple php class to get the combined latest posts from combined Facebook and Twitter accounts

Usage

First, you'll need to create Facebook and Twitter applications to get your developer keys. Then put these at the top of sebso_social.php.

Next up, you'll need to make sure you have the Twitter oauth library (I used this one: https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth) available. The source file does:

    require_once('twitteroauth/twitteroauth.php');

before anything else.

To use it, instantiate the SebSoSocial class, passing the desire Twitter account name, Facebook page name, and number of each type of post you'd like:

    $social = new SebSoSocial($twitter, $facebook, $numOfEach);

Then loop over $social->posts to get classes with ->source (e.g. "Facebook"), ->sourceLink (link to the original post), ->sourceAccount and ->imgs (an array of urls of images for the post).

Example

This chunk of code:

<style>
   img { max-width: 100px; max-height: 100px; }
   .social-post { margin-bottom : 20px; }
</style>

<?php
   include("sebso_social.php");
   $twitter = "Google";
   $facebook = "Google";
   $numOfEach = 10;
   $social = new SebSoSocial($twitter, $facebook, $numOfEach); ?>
   <?php foreach ($social->posts as $post) : ?>
   <div class="social-post">
      <table border="1">
         <tr><td>Source</td><td><?php echo $post->source; ?></td></tr>
         <tr><td>Content</td><td><?php echo $post->content; ?></td></tr>
         <tr><td>Date</td><td><?php echo $post->date; ?></td></tr>
         <tr><td>Link</td><td><?php echo $post->sourceLink; ?></td></tr>
         <tr><td>Account</td><td><?php echo $post->sourceAccount; ?></td></tr>
         <tr><td>Images[0]</td><td><?php if ($post->imgs) : ?><img src="<?php echo $post->imgs[0]; ?>" /><?php endif; ?></td></tr>
      </table>
   </div>
   <?php endforeach; ?>

generates a table of recent Facebook and Twitter posts, sorted by reverse date.

Why sebso_social?

Because my website is at http://seb.so; and this was a social plugin I built for a client for use in a WordPress site.
