Does anyone know how to update a Facebook Status with Facebooker?
I don''t think Facebook actually provides that functionality.

Facebook does provide this and a way to request permission from the user to allow it. i don''t think it has been added to facebooker yet. Wouldn''t be too bad to add it Dave On Wed, May 7, 2008 at 6:25 PM, Toby Hede <tobyhede at info-architects.net> wrote:> I don''t think Facebook actually provides that functionality. > > > > On Wed, May 7, 2008 at 8:28 PM, Travis Jeffery <eatsleepgolf at gmail.com> > wrote: > > Does anyone know how to update a Facebook Status with Facebooker? > > _______________________________________________ > > Facebooker-talk mailing list > > Facebooker-talk at rubyforge.org > > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/facebooker-talk > > > _______________________________________________ > Facebooker-talk mailing list > Facebooker-talk at rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/facebooker-talk >-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Yeah they do the method is facebook.users.setStatus
(http://developers.facebook.com/documentation.php?v=1.0&method=users.setStatus
)
So to add support for it in would it be something like:
##
# Update Facbook Status
def update_status
@status = post(''facebook.users.setStatus''. :string
=>
params[:status])
end
In /lib/facebooker/user.rb? I''m not gonna lie, I have no clue on what
to do for this kind of thing.
Thanks

That was pretty close. Here is the method in user.rb:
##
# Set the status of the user
#
# DOES NOT prepend "is" to the message
#
# requires extended permission.
def status=(message)
case message
when String
session
.post
(''facebook.users.setStatus'',:status=>message,:status_includes_verb=>1)
do |ret|
ret
end
when Status
@status = message
when Hash
@status = Status.from_hash(message)
end
end
Basically, we need to handle both setting the status with a string as
well as with a Hash. The Hash setter is used to populate the data from
Facebook.
I added that code as well as some tests. To make status updates work,
it requires your application to have some extended permissions. I
added code for that as well. Now, in your controller you can do
something like:
before_filter :ensure_has_status_update
That will request permission to update status if it doesn''t exist. You
can tell Facebook where to redirect by re-defining the
application_needs_permission method to look something like:
def application_needs_permission(perm)
redirect_to(facebook_session.permission_url(perm,:next=>"http://apps.facebook.com/mangino''+request.request_uri))
end
