[Facebooker-talk] Is Session.users weird or is it me?
Here''s my problem: I''m trying to use Facebooker::Session.users
but it
seems to be broken, or more likely, my use of it is broken. What I''m
seeing is that when I call it it just returns the user ids array I
pass it.
(For the following code, assume this:
user_ids = [3201111, 556161111, 501411111, 687861111]
fields = [:uid, :first_name, :last_name, :name, :timezone,
:birthday, :sex, :affiliations, :locale, :profile_url, :proxied_email]
fields_string = fields.join ","
)
with_users_method = session.users(user_ids, fields)
puts "with_users_method = " + with_users_method.join(" ***
")
Which gave me:
with_users_method = 3201111 *** 556161111 *** 501411111 *** 687861111
Odd, eh? So I looked at the source of Session.users and tried making
some changes and it works now, kinda. What I did was simply adapt
that code by omiting the block that is passed to session.post, like
so:
with_getInfo_no_block
session.post("facebook.users.getInfo",:uids=>user_ids.join(","),:fields=>fields_string)
puts "with_getInfo_no_block = " + with_getInfo_no_block.join("
*** ")
Which gives:
with_getInfo_no_block = nameDaniel

All the info I want is there, if a bit smashed together. What am I
doing wrong?
Lee Connell has mentioned that I should use an auth token. What is
this? Is it related to this problem I''m having? I have a live app
doing offline API calls that seem to work fine without setting an auth
token, btw.
Thanks in advance.

You will kick yourself ... Session#get_users returns an array of Facebooker::User. Facebooker::User#to_s just returns the id as a string. Try p session.users(user_ids, fields).inspect Alan.
