Hi Facebookers, Is there a helper or suggested approach for presenting validation errors on an fbml form? Something to translate rails error markup to fbml:error markup? thanks Joel

I think I must be missing something obvious on this one, but I can''t get past the initial "ensure_application_is_installed_by_facebook_user" in a rails app that I''m trying to put together. I''m running on edge rails with the latest Facebooker as a plugin. I''ve tried adding my settings to the environment configs and recently I tried the new yaml

Hi, according to the Facebook docs, you can add a uid to the fb_request_form_submit button which will pre select the user for the form. So you can do: <fb:request-form action="/my_tasks" method="POST" invite="true" type="MyApp" content="wants to invite you to xyz app"> <fb:request-form-submit uid="FRIENDID" />

Hi, im not sure if this is a mongrel or rails question, so im sorry if I got the wrong list. Is there anyway to turn off logging (in production.log) if a request comes from a given IP address. I use monit to watch everything, and I get tons of this in my log file: Processing AccountController#login (for 127.0.0.1 at 2007-07-31 14:06:28) [GET] Session ID: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hi, I posted some steps to getting started with facebooker & rails in my blog, they will likely change when the routing stuff gets settled (Shawns patch gets in). http://jnylund.typepad.com/joels_blog/2008/01/facebooker-gett.html If you want to copy/move this to the new site and modify thats fine with me, just let me know what to do. If there are issues, send them to me and I will fix them right away. thanks Joel

Hi, on my site I have several screen casts (using flash video flv) in addition to the normal rails application which is the core service, my setup is apache proxy/balancing to 2 mongrels. I was thinking I should probably not be serving up streaming video from mongrel as it will occupy the mongrel processes for long periods of time right? So I was thinking of excluding a directory from

Hi, Im trying to build a form using: <% facebook_form_for(:task, at task,:url => create_task_path) do |f| %> Assign Task To: <%= fb_friend_selector %> <%=f.text_field :ttype, :label=> "Title"%> <%=f.datetime_select :duedate, :label=> "Due Date"%> <%=f.buttons "Add" %> <% end %> But im getting an

So if I am using fbml,canvas & facebooker, can I do ajax calls? if so how? From reading it seems they support some sort of mock ajax, but I don''t really understand, can somone explain to me? If I cant do ajax, can I still do javascript? Can I use 3rd party libs like prototype & scriptaculous? thanks Joel

Here''s the fix for Facebook apps that specify a controller in their callback URLs. First, set this variable in your environment scripts: ENV[''FACEBOOKER_CALLBACK_PATH''] = ''/controller'' # where controller is the name of your Facebook controller And then patch vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/rails/facebook_url_rewriting.rb as shown in the

In the form helpers code, the comments have examples like "create_poke_path". can you tell me what this path is, and where I can read about it? I assume its a way to say what controller/method should be called when the form action is taken, but what is the format? thanks Joel

Hi, I would like to generate a facebook call on behalf of a user to create a request to another user to install the app. Is there a way to do this without being in a fb_request_form? the use case is: Fred is creating a task, he assign it to a friend Sally , if Sally has already installed & setup my app, no problem, if she hasnt, I want to send an add request from Fred along with

If I want to use fbml elements and rails tags, is there a way to do within a fb:editor? if I do: <% facebook_form_for(:task, at task,:url => create_task_path) do |f| %> Assign Task To: <%= fb_friend_selector %> <%=f.text_field :ttype, :label=> "Title"%> <%=text_field_tag :newrnumdays, ndays, :label => "# Days"%>

So I have an existing app & facebook app in same rails application, for now I have decided to go the route of creating a controller for facebook stuff (called FaceController). (setup is canvas, fbml) So I have: facebook config http://myurl:myport/face/ My controllers name is face, so I dont even need a manual route, for the landing page it works like a charm. but, when I try to make

Hi, I started with rfacebook but given the recent events figure its best to move over to facebooker. I have: 1.) Installed the facebooker plugin 2.) setup my facebook app (fbml/canvas) 3.) created a method on controller & view to handle initial request 4.) added "ensure_application_is_installed_by_facebook_user" to top off application.rb I am able to get to my landing page
