Hi, I am developing a simple FBconnect app and I can''t figure out how to publish a one-line story to the users feed. I have templates for the stories but I don''t know which methods/classes in the Facebooker API I have to use to actually access the Feed.publishUserAction API call (http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Feed.publishUserAction). Could someone give me a hint? thx and kind regards Jan

I know :) It would be much longer if I hadn''t started working on it this morning. I have a spike working, so I just need to clean up the code and add tests.

This is going to be great... I''m looking for feed publishing for my FB Connect app as well. I ran into the issue that FB''s policy for Connect apps is that they don''t let one-line stories get published automatically unless they are whitelisted by Facebook first. And that policy is still under review. The only other option is generating a feed dialog but I don''t see feed dialog''s in Facebooker? -- - Adeel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[Facebooker-talk] Facebook connect and One-line stories
I finished a first version of the application: http://github.com/mmangino/fb_connect_example/tree/master The version of facebooker in the application is slightly different than the current public version. I''m going to work on merging these changes back in today. I''ll send another email when they are ready. Mike On Feb 27, 2009, at 2:55 AM, Adeel Ahmad wrote:> This is going to be great...

[Facebooker-talk] Facebook connect and One-line stories
I just updated facebooker and my sample application.
To get a facebook session for the current user, you can use:
before_filter :create_facebook_session
This is like the old :set_facebook_session, but it doesn''t store the
session in a cookie.
To actually publish notifications, I use the following code in my
controller:
def create
@note = current_user.sent_notes.create!(params[:note])
flash[:notice] = "Note sent to #{@note.recipient.email}"
if facebook_session
flash[:user_action_to_publish] =
UserPublisher.create_note_sent(@note,facebook_session)
end
redirect_to notes_path
end
That stores a new user action in the flash. If I wasn''t redirecting, I
could assign it to @ user_action_to_publish
Then, in my controller, I grab the object from the flash after a
redirect:
before_filter :load_actions_to_publish
def load_actions_to_publish
@user_action_to_publish = flash[:user_action_to_publish]
flash[:user_action_to_publish]=nil
end
Finally, I have a bit in my view that calls these. This means that on
the page after an action would create a notification, the user is
prompted to allow the notification
in application.html.erb
<% init_fb_connect "XFBML","Api" do %>
<%= fb_user_action(@user_action_to_publish) if
@user_action_to_publish%>
<%= yield :fb_connect%>
<% end %>

Thanks, I''ll dig into this tonight. This will be very useful.At the end, when you list code to prompt the user if they want to allow the notification, will this work for one-line stories as well? Since FB doesn''t let us send these automatically I''m hoping a simple confirmation prompt will work. - Adeel Founder/President Proletarian Design LLC 1066 47th Ave., Suite 19 Oakland, CA 94601 t: 415.205.0274 f: 415.871.2200 skype: a2ahmad twitter: _adeel www.proletariandesign.com On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 1:27 PM, Mike Mangino <mmangino at elevatedrails.com>wrote:> I just updated facebooker and my sample application. > > To get a facebook session for the current user, you can use: > > before_filter :create_facebook_session > > This is like the old :set_facebook_session, but it doesn''t store the > session in a cookie. > > To actually publish notifications, I use the following code in my > controller: > def create > @note = current_user.sent_notes.create!(params[:note]) > flash[:notice] = "Note sent to #{@note.recipient.email}" > if facebook_session > flash[:user_action_to_publish] > UserPublisher.create_note_sent(@note,facebook_session) > end > redirect_to notes_path > end > > That stores a new user action in the flash.

Unfortunately I haven''t been able to get very far integrating this into my app. I get the "wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)" error on the line: <% init_fb_connect "XFBML","Api" do %>in the application layout file and can''t seem to get away from it so my app never gets to the its main page. I am able to get Mike''s example app somewhat working. I''m on Rails 2.1.1 and the example app is 2.2.2. Don''t know if there is a dependency there. However even with Mike''s app, while I''m able to see the login button and click it to get the Connect prompt, it always tells me I''m unable to login. I did update the facebooker.yml file with my dev app keys.

[Facebooker-talk] Facebook connect and One-line stories
thanks mike - At the risk of revealing how new I am to RoR, I hadn''t yet come across content_for, this will be really helpful - I''ve been having problems with multiple window.onload calls and didn''t have a good solution. Regarding the rest of your demo site - I think you could smooth out the account creation and login system to take better advantage of fb connect. First off, your app requires a page refresh to pick up the fb connect login status, because the cookies get set when the page is rendered. The facebook demo app (therunaround) uses a window.onload call to refresh the page if the server hasn''t picked up the user login status (that''s one of my window.onload calls). You may also want to tweak how you handle login status:> def current_user > if session[:user_id] > @current_user ||= User.find(session[:user_id]) > elsif facebook_session and @current_user.nil? > user = User.find_by_facebook_id(facebook_session.user.id) > if user > session[:user_id] = user.id > @current_user = user > end > end > endIf the user logs out of facebook they should also be logged out of your site, so you shouldn''t store the userid in the session if they''re logged in via fb connect - just pull it from the cookies every time. One other suggestion - I use the post-authorize url to handle account creation, so users aren''t forced to create a native account and subsequently link their fb account (although it''s good to offer the option if they go the native account route). -kevin On Mar 1, 2009, at 10:50 AM, Mike Mangino wrote:> > On Feb 27, 2009, at 10:23 PM, kevin lochner wrote: > >> hey mike - >> >> Can you explain what you''re doing here:? >> >>> <%= yield :fb_connect%> >> > > Sure, that''s just an extension point for me to provide extra js that > I want to run in the context of the api initialization.

Hey Mike, Thanks for the sample/template app, it really helped since documentation on FB connect is close to nil at this point. It would have otherwise taken me days to figure out, instead of now only a few short hours. Would you be able to add a few examples on how to invite friends to the app through facebook, and then how to see other friends that already have the app connected? It would also be important to remove all the friends from the invitation list that already have the app connected. Thanks again, Ryan G

That''s the next thing on my list. I put the app on github to allow others to help out too. If anyone wants to improve the app, feel free to fork it and send me pull requests.
