[Facebooker-talk] built in fb:comments - can''t get it to work
For a week I''ve been screwing with this. It seems really simple yet I
can''t get it to work. So I have to think it has something to do with
rails and rendering pages. I have:
<%= fb_comments("Activity_#{@activity.id}", true, false, 20,
:showform
=> true,
:callbackurl => activity_url(:id=>@activity.id)) %>
it outputs:
<fb:comments
callbackurl="http://apps.new.facebook.com/myapp/activities/31"
candelete="false" canpost="true" numposts="20"
showform="true" xid="Activity_31"></fb:comments>
The wall shows up but when I post it goes back to the page and shows no
comments.
This CANNOT be that complicated. I realize I can write my own comment
wall but I don''t understand why the built in facebook fbml comments
won''t work. Does anyone have fb:comments working?
Thanks for any help.

The tutorial application has this working. http://apps.new.facebook.com/facebooker_tutorial/fbml/comments#comments_comments_for_comment_lesson There is one comment from a user indicating that they had to turn on forgery protection to get it to work. I am not using the callback url though. Dave On Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 3:36 PM, Allen Walker <auswalk at gmail.com> wrote:> For a week I''ve been screwing with this.

What does your route look like? does a post to your callback url render a page with the comments tag on it?

I could not get it to work with the callback url. I had to remove that. Either that feature doesn''t work, or I didn''t know how to return the right thing. Vidal.

What is the whole point of the callback url anyway? I don''t understand its use: optional callbackurl string<http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/String> The URL to refetch this configuration. *(Default value is the current page.)* Dave On Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 4:42 PM, Vidal Graupera <vidalg at a2z.com> wrote:> I could not get it to work with the callback url.

When Facebook renders certain pages, like the new comment form, it fetches the callbackurl and uses the configuration data from the fb:comments tag on that page. If you had a comment wall on an expensive page you could use the callback url to render just the fb:comments tag. For Rails, we used to need this because Facebook always fetched the callback as a POST. If you tried to use an fb:comments tag on your index, Facebook would try to grab the configuration info from your create method when a user was posting a comment.

Standard route in the routing table. I even took out the callbackurl , still doesnt work. I have given up and wrote my own comments storage using fb_wall and fb_wallpost. I got that to work.
