Has anybody integrated facebooker with a restful authentication app?
I''ve read the pragmatic programmer''s book ch 8 about making
changes to session store, but I would really like to keep my default cookie
session store. The goal here is to have a user on my site add facebook to their
account, so I need to store the FB uid in my db. Unfortunately the session
containing the user''s login is not used when fb comes back, rightfully
so.
Is there a way to pass a key across to the facebook canvas so when it calls back
to my site, I can figure out what user/session it came from?

There are a couple of options. First, you can have the user login to your application from inside the Facebook canvas. That way, you''ll have a facebook session and can join that with their user in the DB. You could also include the remember token in a URL where you send the user to Facebook. Then, you could look up the restful authentication user by this remember token and join them to the facebook user.

I''m trying method number 2: passing the remember token in the URL. It looks like install.php and login.php urls eat any params I send to them. Does this mean that I have to have a page served on my app that does not require installation or authentication to facebook? --- On Wed, 9/17/08, Mike Mangino <mmangino at elevatedrails.com> wrote: From: Mike Mangino <mmangino at elevatedrails.com> Subject: Re: [Facebooker-talk] Restful Authentication To: wthomas989 at yahoo.com Cc: facebooker-talk at rubyforge.org Date: Wednesday, September 17, 2008, 12:14 PM On Sep 17, 2008, at 12:30 PM, William Thomas wrote:> Has anybody integrated facebooker with a restful authentication app? > I''ve read the pragmatic programmer''s book ch 8 about makingchanges> to session store, but I would really like to keep my default cookie > session store.

You can pass parameters. Take a look at the facebooker_authentication on github for seeing how to pass parameters using the next parameter.
