Hey everyone. There''s been a lot of activity on this list recently, which is great to see. People are asking good questions and getting helpful answers. Unfortunately, the answers aren''t archived anywhere. What do you think about moving to a google group so that we''ll have a message archive? I created a Facebooker group at http://groups.google.com/group/facebooker Also, I''m going to spend some time this weekend hacking on Facebooker. I want to try to clean up some of the ugly internal bits to make it easier for people to contribute. Let me know what your least favorite parts are. Mine are: Bootstrap and configuration Adapter loading params[:format]="fbml" Anything else? Mike -- Mike Mangino http://www.elevatedrails.com
Mike Mangino a ?crit :> Anything else?Maybe off-topic, but what about the patch I sent a week ago? Isn''t that welcome ? Or maybe should I have send it elsewhere? The patch fixes a real issue (Feed are always published in the small size with Facebooker), I thought it could be helpfull to integrate it in the core... Thanks! Regards, -- Alexis Sukrieh
Well, there is certainly an archive of messages here: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/facebooker-talk/ However, I also think that Google Groups has a much better interface, and allows you to belong to a group without receiving emails from it (so you just check it at the web interface, but still are allowed to send messages to the list). So I vote for +1 for the migration. Carlos Paramio El 04/02/2009, a las 14:51, Mike Mangino escribi?:> Hey everyone. There''s been a lot of activity on this list recently, > which is great to see.

Ha... I totally have sent people here before to go look at the archives. We definitely need a google group.

Hi Mike, I find the names of the class-level filters a bit confusing/redundant. Am I right in thinking that having two filters (ensure_authenticated... and ensure_app_is_installed...) is a hangover from the days of the "old" facebook app install model? In my app I use ensure_application_is_installed_by_facebook_user and a filter I created myself. I''d like to use ensure_authenticated_to_facebook but it always prompts the user to install the app, which imho it should not. I get around this problem at the moment by using the facebook_params hash to ensure that when I check for a user ID, the signature is present and valid. It would be nicer if I could just use an explicit filter that guarantees a request has come via facebook without requiring the user to authorize my app. I know these constructs already exist internally in facebooker, I think it would be nicer if they were more explicit to new developers. Kind regards, Lee. 2009/2/4 Mike Mangino <mmangino at elevatedrails.com>:> Hey everyone. There''s been a lot of activity on this list recently, which is > great to see.

For anyone that could be interested, here is a list of pros and cons I find with the Google Groups move: PROS - RSS and Atom feeds. - Ability to join a group without receiving email messages. - Ability to receive email messages only if they match a particular keyword. - Ability to upload files to the group. - Ability to maintain group pages in a wiki. - Ability to look at the members of the group easily. - Better UI. - Better search capabilities to use the archives as a Knowledge Base. CONS - Group separated from the other services at Rubyforge (I''m thinking on the bug tracking system mainly, because the main SCM repository seems to be the copy at Github now, and the forums aren''t used too much probably because people find the mailing list more comfortable). Anyway, it seems that the bug tracking system is a little abandoned in favor of pull requests at Github, or at least there are tons of patches there that never received attention (including a couple of ones by myself). - Lack of support to download the list archives as mbox files (AFAIK). - The current archive will remain at Rubyforge (is there a way to import the mbox files to Google Groups?). Any others you might been seeing?

A Google group would be amazing, the lag on this list and lack of CC support is....well it won''t be a problem any more :-) Great to hear things will be more hackable- I look forward to pushing back some code. -- Matthew Beale :: 607 227 0871 Resume & Portfolio @ http://madhatted.com On Wed, 2009-02-04 at 08:51 -0500, Mike Mangino wrote:> Hey everyone.
