Facebooker talk - Jan 2009 - How to instanciate a Group or Event model object

Hi,

What do I have to do to have a populated object of class  
Facebooker::Group or Facebooker::Event populated with its group/event  
information if I know it''s gid/eid? Is it required to use FQL?

I tried things like these:

Facebooker::Group.new(:gid => 42)
Facebooker::Event.new(:eid => 42)

since the initialize of Facebooker::Model takes a hash, but the object  
isn''t populated.

Thanks

Aur?lien

Hi Aur?lien,

Did you already get your site setup so facebook users can login?
http://apps.facebook.com/facebooker_tutorial/outline

Once you have done that, in your controller make a call to:

facebook_session.user.groups()
or
facebook_session.user.events()

and you should get all the groups/events for the logged in user: you
can pass in specific IDs to just retrieve individual objects.

Hope that helps,
Lee.

Yes this works.
But what I''m trying to do is to have the infos for a given group, even
if it isn''t one of the current user groups.
Maybe it is not possible?

Mmm I just tried. It works with groups the current user isn''t member  
of too.

Thanks for your help.

You could also try using FQL queries:
