Hi guys, I''m just getting started with facebooker. I got a nasty problem. Every request redirects to facebook for authentication because i have included ensure_authenticated_to_facebook and oce the authentication is over I''m redirected back to the callback URL. The original requested URL is lost. I suspected of not using DB sessions, but I''m using DB as the session store. Please help me out. How do I avoid redirects -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/facebooker-talk/attachments/20080225/2adba52f/attachment.html
Hey Ahmad, There is an example of this on the facebooker_tutorial , starts at step 4. http://apps.facebook.com/facebooker_tutorial/getting_started/user_adds_application Basically you can store the last_requested_url in a cookie, and then have facebook call an action that does the redirect for you. This is called the POST_ADD_URL on the application settings. Let me know if it makes sense, if not I will bust it out into its own lesson on the tutorial.

Hi Dave, I''m not quite able to get it! I would be really great if you could show a sample app and I encouter a new problem. On my local machine everything works great but when i took it to my server at dreamhost, my app breaks with an error like Filter Chain Halted at ensure_authenticated_to_facebook. Now I get this dumb error like Facebooker::Session::IncorrectSignature when i included ensure_application_is_installed_by_facebook_user Any idea on this one? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You could add the following to you application controller.
def application_is_not_installed_by_facebook_user
redirect_to session[:facebook_session].install_url(:next =>
request.request_uri)
end
This tells facebooker you want to redirect to the install url and set
the next param to the original request when the application is not
installed. After the user completes the install page facebook will
redirect to the next param.

Well tats not my problem. Its like when I include ensure_application_is_installed_by_facebook_user at times I get this error Facebooker::Session::IncorrectSignature and other times I get redirected to the Install page which says You''ve already added AhmadTestApp to your Facebook applications. Visit the My Applications <http://www.facebook.com/editapps.php> page to adjust your settings or remove this app. I have unfrtunately a bad time with facebooer :-( . Can anyone please zip a basic working hello world facebooker app which includes ensure_application_is_installed_by_facebook_user. So tat I can look at where I messed up or find out if its gotta do with my system perse. Any help would be largely appreciated.

Hi Ahmad,
Im guessing you have something wrong with your configuration either on
facebook or in your facebooker.yml file.
make sure your facebook configs of Canvas Page URL("AhmadTestApp")
match the canvas_page_name in facebooker.yml (in correct section)
make sure your setup to fbml & website
How are you accessing your application (what url?) - for facebooker
setup with canvas & fbml you need to be going via
http://apps.facebook.com/yourapp
which version of facebooker do you have? which version rails do you
have?
I put directions to get a basic working version of facebooker going
here: (they are 1.2.x rails directions, but they should work in 2.x)
http://jnylund.typepad.com/joels_blog/2008/01/facebooker-gett.html
Also Davids tutorial should help as well.

I think so, can one of the core developers let us know what the state of iframe support for facebooker is? I haven''t used iframe before, but my understanding of the way it works, is on the first call to the iframe you will get the fb_sig stuff, including "fb_sig_in_iframe"=>"1", but once you are in your iframe and clicking around, its your app directly, so there will be no fb_sig parms passed like in a canvas application. So adding the "ensure" filters to every call would definitely hose you up, because once you click anylink inside your iframe, you dont have the params to make these fitlers happy. So my suggestion unless there is some built in support is have a defined entry point to your application, and add the ensure filters just for that entry controller/method, put something in your session that knows they have fb installed & authenticated (presumably using your built in auth), then use your regular auth stuff for filtering all other requests. Make sense? My understanding of iframe is its great if you have a large complex existing application you dont want to rewrite, you can just plug it in, but the integration with facebook features is harder (api calls are just as easy, but the other stuff is harder). If you have a new application, fbml/canvas is more tightly integrated, and you get look & feel of facebook app, but learning curve is there to learn fmbl, but the facebooker guys make this easier by providing rails helpers to do lots of this stuff for you. I have a large complex existing application but have decided to go the fbml/canvas route anyway since it gives a better integration experience for the end user, besides if you have a fairly descent rails app its really jut building a new view for it.
