Facebooker talk - Mar 2008 - Template path issues for Publisher

I''m now dialed in on using Publisher, big thanks to Mike and folks for
setting that up, it makes life much nicer!

I have had to make two very small tweaks to the code to make it work for me.
 This is possibly due to us being on Rails 1.2.3 (my next chunk of work will
be to get us to at least 1.2.6 and hopefully 2.x, but I need to finish the
Facebook app first :)  Anyway, I mentioned the first tweak in a previous
email, but will cover both here for completeness, and any comments/info
folks have:


1) In Publisher#inherited, it makes a call to send!, but send! is undefined
in my environment.  I simply changed this to call send (i.e. no exclamation
point), and it all appears to work fine.


2) In Publisher#initialize_template_class, when it instantiates the
ActionView::Base object, it passes in a template path that is an array
holding both the base views directory, as well as the specific controller
view subdirectory.  In our environment, this yielded a second specific view
directory name on the path when ActionView::Base#template_exists? went
looking for the partial.  For example, I''d see it looking for paths
like:
    .../app/views/facebook_publisher/facebook_publisher/_profile.rhtml


I don''t now if it''s different in Rails 2, and/or if the intent
is that both
those paths should be searched when looking for templates (and that array
aspect simply didn''t work in Rails 1.2.3?) or what.  But, the fix was
to
remove the specific subdirectory, and thus change that line of code to:


     returning ActionView::Base.new(template_root, assigns, self) do
|template|


I''ve marked up my code and will revisit this once I get our codebase
moved
to Rails 2, but wanted to put this out there in case had further info, or in
case this might help someone else.
