Seeing as how Bebo''s platform is so close to Facebook''s, it makes sense to me to build in Bebo support to Facebooker. Is anyone working on this yet and would you guys be open to accepting patches for this? Or should I start a bebo specific sub project, or. . . Thanks, BJ ----- BJ Clark the science department bjclark at scidept.com www.scidept.com
Hey BJ, I am in the middle of a release right now but would love to start looking at this next week. We talked about this awhile ago on the list and Mike wanted to work on it in parallel, get it working, then look at how you could merge it in.

My co-worker and have been working on this all day. I think we''re
pretty close, but I''m having a problem trying to modify session.rb to
work wtih both bebo and facebook support.
Here''s what I''ve done:
I changed facebooker.yml to have a bebo_secret_key, bebo_api_key, etc.
Then, in init.rb I did:
facebook_config = "#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/facebooker.yml"
if File.exist?(facebook_config)
FACEBOOKER = YAML.load_file(facebook_config)[RAILS_ENV]
ENV[''FACEBOOK_API_KEY''] =
FACEBOOKER[''api_key'']
ENV[''FACEBOOK_SECRET_KEY''] =
FACEBOOKER[''secret_key'']
ENV[''FACEBOOKER_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT''] =
FACEBOOKER[''canvas_page_name'']
ENV["FACEBOOK_CANVAS_PATH"] = ''blah_blah''
ENV[''BEBO_API_KEY''] =
FACEBOOKER[''bebo_api_key'']
ENV[''BEBO_SECRET_KEY''] =
FACEBOOKER[''bebo_secret_key'']
ENV[''BEBO_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT''] =
FACEBOOKER[''bebo_canvas_page_name'']
ENV["BEBO_CANVAS_PATH"] = ''blah_blah''
end
So, then in session.rb I see that this gets called when it goes to
secure the session:
def self.secret_key
extract_key_from_environment(:secret) ||
extract_key_from_configuration_file(:secret) rescue
report_inability_to_find_key(:secret)
end
and that should be calling the extract_key_from_environment method.
So I modified it to look like this (and this is where I get stuck):
def self.extract_key_from_environment(key_name)
if params[:fb_sig_network] == "Bebo"
logger.debug "Extracting bebo #{key_name.to_s}"
val = ENV["BEBO_" + key_name.to_s.upcase +
"_KEY"]
else
logger.debug "Extracting facebook #{key_name.to_s}"
val = ENV["FACEBOOK_" + key_name.to_s.upcase +
"_KEY"]
end
end
I always get the error "Facebooker::Session::ConfigurationMissing
(Could not find configuration information for secret):"
The logger.debug message never get called (which really confuses me).
Now, If use the code that is currently in the plugin, I have no
problem on facebook, and bebo gives me the IncorrectSignature error,
which is the correct behavior.
I don''t understand why it''s failing like this.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
-----

Hey BJ, On first pass I am wondering where are you getting ''params'' from? I think you are catching an exception there and the rescue is taking care of it. Just a guess, I didn''t try it.

Hey BJ, take a look at facebook_session_handling this seems like a good place to figure this out. You could set somthing up on the CGI:Session that would indicate which context you are in. I am CC the list here so that others can get a feel for what the issues are.
