Facebook Graph - Possible To Check If A User Is A Member Of A Group w/o user_groups? -


i'm author of wordpress/facebook plugin many years has given sites ability create wp communities permitting/rejecting logins based on whether or not users members of private group on facebook. - in typical facebook fashion - broke it, , state:

the user_groups permission approved apps let people use facebook on platforms facebook not available. if you're building app on android , ios, example, won't approved permission. web, desktop , tv apps not granted permission.

reference: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.3

previously, determining whether or not user member of group via /group-id/members endpoint, , looking current user among group's members list. requires now-impossible user_groups permission, , won't work. /user/groups endpoint requires user_groups, , won't work either. found reference way using fql (facebook graph api check if user member of group using php) supposedly didn't require user_groups, they've killed fql too.

so while i'm pretty sure know answer, wanted reach out , see if there's possible workaround might me avoid killing extremely-popular feature: other way allow/disallow users based on membership group. looking outside-of-the-box thinking - or safe consider groups functionality lost , gone forever?

thanks ideas may have...

i'm facing same problem, , i've come conclusion can imagine: there no straight way determine if user member of group unless have user_group permission.

at moment, workaround i've found store users' ids in database, variable tells me if he's member of group or not; "manually" update variable, periodically comparing group's member list users database.

remember if administrator of group, can member list without permission (this code use: $members = $facebook->api('/'.$usergroupid.'/members','get');).

once have list, can use update boolean variable "is_member" of users' database.

surely not elegant solution, far know there not many alternatives...

anyway follow approach explained in selected answer question: facebook login group members

i have string contains use of variable, , i'd substitute variable's value string. right best have is #!/bin/bash foo='$name; echo bar' name="the name" expanded="$(eval echo "$foo")" echo "$expanded" which has obvious defects: prints the name bar while i'd print the name; echo bar instead of eval can bash's regex matching bash's string replacement: foo='$name; echo bar' name="the name" [[ "$foo" =~ \$([[:alnum:]]+) ]] && s="${!bash_rematch[1]}" && expanded="${foo/\$${bash_rematch[1]}/$s}" echo "$expanded" name; echo bar
