Facebooker talk - Mar 2009 - Getting Data out of Facebook

Gents,

I have been working through the examples in Mike Mangino''s book and am
stuck. I am trying to get hometown and other information by using the code
from the example...

u=User.for(xxx)
Facebooker::Session.current=u.facebook_session
u.hometown #=> nil

I understand that there may have been a change in the way Facebook
authorizes that data. I have this data currently associated with my facebook
account and have authorized applications to share it. Still it doesn''t
seem
to be working, any thoughts??

Thanks

Vince

What does your hometown method look like? What happens if you call  
u.facebook_session.user.hometown_location?

I''m ccing the google group since we''re moving this mailing
list over
there.
