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

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

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

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"%>

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

If you are using facebooker as a plugin, you can now have all your configuration in one place, namely config/facebooker.yml. You can create this file with rake facebooker:setup. It is also generated when you install it as a plugin. It has a similar setup to database.yml with sections for each environment. You can also configure your ssh reverse tunnels. If you are upgrading, make sure to

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

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

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

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

So who made it? Are people still interested in getting beer or something? -Josh

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

Hello, I have a model which I would like to have a ''virtual'' date column. This column wouldn''t exist in the database, but would exist for validation, etc. The data would be provided in the form of a date_select in the view. This produces a multiparameter attribute. My problem is that the ''execute_callstack_for_multiparameter_attributes'' method in

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
