facebook/graph-sdk is deprecated and doesn't support PHP 8

maybe a solution would be to use:

https://github.com/janu-software/facebook-php-sdk

that seems to be a php 8 fork of the archived SDK

https://github.com/facebookarchive/php-graph-sdk/issues/1217#issuecommen...

I Added a merge Request.. that is doing that... since janusoftware fork of the SDK is php 8 only it might be better to have a version 2.x of the module for php 8

Hey @spuky
I am running into the same issue - can't run composer update because we're on PHP 8.
Is there a temp fix?

I put a patched version with my changes in my custom modules folder adding it to my codebase (till there is a solution)

and just required the dependencys with composer...

     "abraham/twitteroauth": "^4.0",
    "espresso-dev/instagram-basic-display-php": "^1.1",
    "janu-software/facebook-php-sdk": "^0.1",
    "nesbot/carbon": "^2.59"

better alternative would be:

adding the following entry as first entry in your repository section of your composer json...

must be before:
{
"type": "composer",
"url": "https://packages.drupal.org/8"
},

to get higher priority than d.o Repo....

{
   "type": "package",
   "package": {
       "name": "drupal/socialfeed",
       "version": "1.4.0.pl3295588",
       "type": "drupal-module",
       "source": {
           "type": "git",
           "url": "https://git.drupalcode.org/issue/socialfeed-3295588.git",
           "reference": "3295588-facebookgraph-sdk-is-deprecated"
       }
   }
},

and then:

composer require drupal/socialfeed:1.4.0.pl3295588
composer require abraham/twitteroauth:^4.0
composer require espresso-dev/instagram-basic-display-php:^1.1
composer require janu-software/facebook-php-sdk:^0.1
composer require nesbot/carbon: ^2.59

to get the version with my pull request..
moved my solution to that method

Edit: added composer require for dependencys since composer is not getting them from the git package

Totally get that.. and i was mostly going down that route...

to get my composer installs working...

because until 2 weeks ago composer was installing the facebook project without make a fuzz about php version
so my mr at least helps people running php 8 already

Would love to have an alternative mr using the fb business sdk

I don't have write access to the issue branch, so I created this patch to bring the commit in #11 into conformance with Drupal coding standards.

@daniel_j

Thanks for the patch... forgot to set Drupal code style in PHP storm when setting up the project
your patch wouldn't apply in php storm so i set code formatting to drupal and reformatted the file...
if there are any other code style issues not fixed just point hem out

I am still hoping someone else will come up with a solution that is based on an official facebook library but I don't have the time to dig into that right now..

With PHP 7.4 going unsupported in ~2 months (see https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php), this really is critical.

Is there an update on this? Is this patch going to be merged into any near future release?

PHP 7.4 is now one month away from being unsupported!

I'd really love to continue to use this module, rather than trying to find anther to fit the foot.

Many thanks!

I am using the patched Version in production and would RTBC it if I had not wrote it.
I understand that People dislike the idea to use not the official FB lib.

I am setting this to needs review... If there are volunteers willing to transfer the functionality to the FB Business api libs or write the guzzle requests themself's come forward... and set it back to needs work

Setting this to needs review... so we can maybe get RTBC

Works here. Moving to RTBC to expedite merge.

Thank you, everyone, for all your efforts. I agree with @Shawn DeArmond that using an unofficial library won't be an appropriate solution as we cannot guarantee:

1. Security
2. Future stable release. This issue will be equivalent to Facebook archiving its official Facebook library.

Hence, I've tried my best to develop an MVP for now & can confirm that it's working with one of the production sites at D9 with PHP 8. Feel free to try it out.

composer require 'drupal/socialfeed:^2.0@beta'
