I''m trying to do it with this code:
def create_event(options={})
options.assert_valid_keys(:uid, :event)
session = create_session
event = options[:event]
# Note: The start_time and end_time are the times that were input by
the event creator,
# converted to UTC after assuming that they were in Pacific time
(Daylight Savings or
# Standard, depending on the date of the event), then converted into
Unix epoch time.
# Basically this means for some reason facebook does not want to get
epoch timestamps
# here, but rather something like epoch timestamp minus 7 or 8
hours, depeding on the
# date. have fun!
#
# http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Events.create
start_time = (event.start - 10.hours).utc.to_i
end_time = event.end ? (event.end - 10.hours).utc.to_i : start_time
session.post("events.create", {
''event_info'' => {
''name'' => event.title,
''category'' => event.facebook_category.to_s,
''subcategory'' => event.facebook_subcategory.to_s,
''host'' => event.organizers.blank? ?
event.place.title :
event.organizers_as_string,
''location'' => event.place.title,
''street'' => event.place.address,
''city'' => event.city.to_s,
''description'' => event.description ||
'''',
''privacy_type'' => ''SECRET'',
''start_time'' => start_time,
''end_time'' => end_time
}.to_json
})
end
However..
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mmangino-facebooker-1.0.12/lib/facebooker/parser.
rb:487:in `process'': event_info parameter: array expected.
(Facebooker::Session:
:MissingOrInvalidParameter)
Any ideas on what''s happening? :|

It had something to do with facebook returning stupid error messages when not recognizing event_info keys. I actually tried bare minimum while I got to working set. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
