==================================

[](#cakephp-social-plugin-for-cakephp)

Bring social networks to your website

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using [composer](http://getcomposer.org).

The recommended way to install composer packages is:

```
composer require 3xw/cakephp-social

```

Load it in your config/boostrap.php

```
Plugin::load('Trois/Social', ['routes' => true]);

```

In your database settings allow correct utf8 in app.php:

```
...
Datasources => [
	'default' => [
		...
		'encoding' => 'utf8mb4',
		...
	]
],
...

'Social' => [
  'facebook' => [
      'app_id' => 'XXX',
      'app_secret' => 'XXX',
      'default_graph_version' => 'v2.11',
  ],
  'twitter' => [
      'oauth_access_token' => 'XXX',
      'oauth_access_token_secret' => 'XXX',
      'consumer_key' => 'XXX',
      'consumer_secret' => 'XXX'
  ],
],
...

```

### dB

[](#db)

Create a table db to store the posts, we suggest following if you use the plugin table class:

```
CREATE TABLE `social_posts` (
  `id` varchar(36) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `provider` varchar(45) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT 'facebook',
  `date` datetime NOT NULL,
  `created` datetime NOT NULL,
  `modified` datetime NOT NULL,
  `display` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1',
  `link` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `message` text COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci,
  `author` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `image` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`,`provider`),
  KEY `provider` (`provider`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Shell

[](#shell)

```
bin/cake social [facebook | instagram | twitter] [account | search] [needle] [limit] [-s] [-m table class]

```

### code

[](#code)

You have three classes (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) that implements:

```
public $posts = [];

public function query($type, $key, $limit = 10);

public function toArray();

```

You can use it like so:

```
use Trois\Social\Network\Http\Facebook;

$this->Facebook = new Facebook();
$this->Facebook->query('account, 'xxxxyyyy', 10); // searchType, needle, limit
debug($Facebook->toArray());

```

You have a model too:

```
use Cake\ORM\TableRegistry;

$this->SocialPosts = TableRegistry::get('Trois/Social.SocialPosts');
$entities = $this->SocialPosts->newEntities($this->Facebook->toArray());
$results = $this->SocialPosts->saveMany($entities);

```

### Admin

[](#admin)

if you have an admin, you can visit:

```
/admin/social

```

and modarate the content of the table 'Trois/Social.SocialPosts'
