I''m authoring my first facebooker app and my first FB App - and trying
to
wrap my head around it all. I''ve gotten everything to work in the
install/However, I''m not certain how to get the profile box to
display/update. Are there any good tutorials or explanations of how to get
Facebooker to update a users'' profile box?
I tried using profile_fbml=("Here is a bit of test data") as part of
the
successful install method in my controller, and have been consistently
getting errors.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Brad, I highly recommend making yourself very familiar with http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Main_Page You''re probably getting errors because of malformed api calls. You can see what''s required for each call on the wiki.

Also, as I just learned, check out Facebooker''s Publisher class to updating profile, sending notifications, etc. On 3/4/08, Brad Hubbard <brad at bradhubbard.net> wrote:> > I''m authoring my first facebooker app and my first FB App - and trying to > wrap my head around it all.

Brad, you have to pass fbml markup to that method <% @userF.profile_fbml = ''<fb:wide>Joel is a cool dude </fb:wide>'' %> or <% @userF.profile_fbml = ''<fb:narrow>Joel is a cool dude</fb:narrow>'' %> While were on this topic, are you guys putting settings/etc in the profile still? It seems to me since users can just remove the box but keep your app, its better to put settings inside your applications tab set, thats what im doing but I was wondering what others thought.. see my previous posting to debug api calls, or Davids approach in his tutorial (monkey patch) Joel On Mar 4, 2008, at 4:30 PM, Brad Hubbard wrote:> I''m authoring my first facebooker app and my first FB App - and > trying to wrap my head around it all.

Probably worth mentioning that the example for the Publisher methods
in the rdocs are not accurate. For example, the rdocs give this as an
example to update the user profile:
def profile_update(user_to_update,user_with_session_to_use)
from user_with_session_to_use
to user_to_update
profile render(:action=>"/users/
profile",:assigns=>{:user=>user_to_update})
end
However, you need something more like this:
def profile_update(user_to_update,user_with_session_to_user)
send_as :profile
from user_with_session_to_use
recipients user_to_update
profile render(:action=>"/users/
profile",:assigns=>{:user=>user_to_update})
end
Notice the lack of the send_as :profile in the rdoc example and "to"
changing to "recipients". This is also the case with templatized
actions. Just FYI.
-Joel
And I''ve had problems using full actions, so am using partials instead
(which actually is more intuitive to me given that you aren''t
generating a
whole page, but just a snippet of FBML for use in a page, but whatever).
Anyway, assuming for something like a profile that the user himself is who
is updating his profile (not sure it''s "legal" to have one
user update
another''s profile :) I have this:
def profile_update(user)
send_as :profile
recipients user
profile render(:partial => "profile", :assigns => { :user
=> user })
end

I tried moving over to the Facebooker publisher method.
My publisher controller is:
class PublisherController < Facebooker::Rails::Publisher
def profile_update(user)
send_as :profile
recipients user
profile render(:partial => "profile", :assigns => { :user
=> user })
end
end
My partial is _profile.erb:
<fb:wide>Not working just yet. One can always hope!</fb:wide>
And my canvas controller calls:
PublisherController.deliver_profile_update(@fb_user)
I get (in my error logs):
Facebooker::Rails::Publisher::UnknownBodyType (Unknown type to publish):
I''ve got "send as :profile" in there - I''m not sure
what I''m doing wrong.

What version of rails are you using? If you''re using Rails 2.x and your partial is actually named "_profile.erb", then you might try renaming it to "_profile.html.erb". Not sure if that has anything to do with it, but worth a shot. -Joel On Mar 5, 2008, at 1:10 PM, Brad Hubbard wrote:> I tried moving over to the Facebooker publisher method. > > My publisher controller is: > class PublisherController < Facebooker::Rails::Publisher > def profile_update(user) > send_as :profile > recipients user > profile render(:partial => "profile", :assigns => { :user => > user }) > end > end > > My partial is _profile.erb: > <fb:wide>Not working just yet.

Well, if you do a search in the facebooker code you''ll see that only gets generated from publisher.rb send_as, which doesn''t accept :profile as one of the options. I don''t think the publisher profile methods that are documented are actually implemented yet. Perhaps you should try set_profile_fbml in Facebooker::User? I don''t actually see anything about profiles in any of the tutorials yet, and I haven''t done it yet myself (I will be though). --simon> I tried moving over to the Facebooker publisher method. > > My publisher controller is: > class PublisherController < Facebooker::Rails::Publisher > def profile_update(user) > send_as :profile > recipients user > profile render(:partial => "profile", :assigns => { :user => > user }) > end > end > > My partial is _profile.erb: > <fb:wide>Not working just yet.

Actually, send_as does accept :profile, see the threads in the last day or two, but the below code should work as long as you are on the latest Facebooker code. Is your Facebooker code the latest?

Damn, I thought that ./script/plugins update would automatically go out to facebooker''s SVN and pull the latest, but I guess it doesn''t. I switched to having vendor/plugins/facebooker being pulled directly via my own svn commands, and now I see that I was indeed out of date. The suck! Now I''ve got to redo my patches as well, bummer. --simon -- http://simonwoodside.com On Mar 6, 2008, at 12:23 AM, Christopher Bailey wrote:> Actually, send_as does accept :profile, see the threads in the last > day or two, but the below code should work as long as you are on > the latest Facebooker code.
