Creating an Application Install the Bebo Developer Application Get a Server Set up your web host Get the Bebo library Create your index.php file 4

Application Settings 5

Sample Index.php require_once "bebo.php"; // Global definitions for your app $appVisibleName = "Favorite Birds"; $appApiKey = "copy API Key from the developer application page"; $appSecret = "copy API Secret from the developer application page"; $appCallback = " "; $appBeboURL = " // Force everyone to add the application. // If they have already added it, then display the page $bebo = new Bebo( $appApiKey, $appSecret ); $userID = $bebo->require_add(); // Display the Canvas page displayPage($bebo); // Update the user's profile updateProfile($bebo); // Publish a news story publishStory($bebo); 6

Advanced User Management All users must add the application to interact Three user states – Just added, Normal user, Removing Using $_REQUEST params to customize Post-Add Handlers change the behavior Handling remove 7

User Management Example // An existing user will have the fb_sig_in_canvas variable set, unless they are removing if (isSet($_POST) && isSet($_POST['fb_sig_in_canvas'])) { // Bebo will pass their user id and that they have added the application if ( isSet($_POST['fb_sig_user']) && $_POST['fb_sig_added'] == 1 ) { $userID = $_POST['fb_sig_user']; // If the user has just installed, Bebo will pass installed as a GET parameter if ( isSet($_GET) && isSet($_GET['installed']) ) { newInstall($userID); } // Normal users will go through here, so display the page $bebo = new Bebo( $appApiKey, $appSecret ); displayPage($bebo); // Update the user's profile updateProfile($bebo); // Publish a news story publishStory($bebo); } 8

// If you set up your own post add handler, then you must handle the add request the way you want, // and then redirect back to your Bebo URL. If you don't specify a post add handler, Bebo does this for you. else if ( isSet($_GET) && isSet($_GET['installed']) ) { $bebo = new Bebo( $appApiKey, $appSecret ); newInstall($bebo ); $bebo->redirect($appBeboURL); } // If you specify a post remove URL, then Bebo will call it with this POST variable. // After this call, you won't get anything else from this user unless they re-add your application else if ( isSet($_POST) && isSet($_POST['fb_sig_uninstall']) ) { $userID = $_POST['fb_sig_user']; uninstallUser( $userID); } // If the user goes to your callback URL directly, they didn't come in from Bebo, and you will have no information about the user // In most cases, you will just want to force the user to add the application by using require_add. This will force them back through // the existing user path above else { $bebo = new Bebo( $appApiKey, $appSecret ); $bebo->require_add(); } User Management - continued 9
