Facebooker talk - Jan 2009 - Facebook app as part of a larger rails app handled by one controller

Hi all,

I found this thread from a while back which discusses the situation  
where one wants to implement a Facebooker app that is handled by one  
controller of a rails app:
http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/facebooker-talk/2008-January/000093.html

I am in this situation with my app. Is the suggested best practice to  
handle this still to change relative_url_root as David describes and  
then add a route for:

map 
.canvas_page_base 
( "#{ENV["FACEBOOK_APP_NAME"]}/:action/:id", :controller
=> ''facebook'' )

? Or, has Facebooker been modified to allow this configuration without  
hacking relative_url_root?

What is the current suggestion for handling this situation?

Thanks in advance,
-Jesse

Hi all,

I''m as well in this situation where the url rewrite is messing up the 
relative urls in my other controllers/actions, in a large application. 
I''m currently using an old version of Facebooker on production where I 
hacked in a check for if fb_ parameters are present in the request - 
looking at the latest code this hack of mine does not seem to want to 
merge in nicely with all the changes since last year.

I tried this now: 
http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/facebooker-talk/2008-January/000093.html 
but it does not work for me, are these instructions still valid?

Any ideas?  Any way to do this cleanly?

Best regards,
Robert
