similar to: getting started with facebooker

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

I''m trying to fetch a session (and other fb user variables from the session) at the start of my controller, so that all the actions in that controller can make use of it. Here''s the code: class FacebookController < ApplicationController ensure_application_is_installed_by_facebook_user fb_session = session[:facebook_session] # ... action functions here ... end

I just wanted to contribute a quick-start page with details about how to get the Facebook session (for internal apps), how to get user info, set profile FBML, post to the news feed, etc. I could even send this as text, or I can add a page using the Radiant CMS if it''s not too cumbersome. I am also working with Dave Clements to augment the configuration options to make it easier for

I''m working on an app, and am new to both ruby and facebooker. Here is my current area of confusion: What should happen on a user''s initial visit to my app? When I hit apps.facebook.com/<my app> for the first time with no cookies or sessions or anything, I''m asked if I want to log into the app, etc., and am then redirected to my callback url outside of facebook.

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

Is ActionController''s redirect_to method broken by Facebooker? When I try to invoke it and execute through apps.facebook.com, I get a blank page returned, response code 200, no redirect. When I try to connect directly to the server (not through apps.fb), I get the infinite recursion error described minutes ago. Are any of you able to use redirect_to successfully, and if so, any ideas

Hello Eveyone, I am new here, and am have no idea how to setup routes in the routes.rb file while using fbml. The regular map.resources :gifts map.resources :wishlists map.resources :invitations map.resources :comments does not work. This tutorial http://rfacebook.wordpress.com/2008/02/04/quickstartfacebooker/ says to create a map.root, such as the one mentioned "map.root

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

Ok. I''m not having any success with publishing profile FBML. Example code: class WelcomeController < ApplicationController layout "facebook" ensure_application_is_installed_by_facebook_user def index @user = facebook_session.user ... @user.profile_fbml = render_to_string( :template => ''welcome/profile'' ) end end Results in

I''ve got some changes queued up that I want to run by everyone before I commit. First, I''ve added a filter that sets the :format variable to "fbml" when you are in the canvas view. That means with edge rails you can use index.fbml.erb for facebook and index.html.erb for non facebook requests and the right thing will happen. This is important for doing things

Hey all, I have a patch that fixes a problem I am having with IFramed pages in rails 2.0. I am relying on the session being retrieved via fb_sig_session_key. I am looking for the test code that tests this functionality but I can''t seem to find it. So you on the list today Chad, gotta pointer for me? Thanks, I want to get a test in for this fix, Dave

Facebooker URL Rewriter stuff overloads ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative_url_root, causing a conflict with the plugin file_column and possibly other utilities. file_column constructs image URLs using the server host and relative_url_root This is not related to the sandbox patch I added to the rewriter. Facebooker overloaded relative_url_root before I touched it. I''ve

Hi facebooker-ers, It looks to me like facebooker does not currently support iframe facebook apps - or am I missing something? My first problem as I understand it is as follows - When you are logged into facebook, and access a facebook application, facebook tacks on a whole lot of extra fb_sig parameters to the request (including fb_sig_user) that the application can then validate to

I''m trying to create a facebook application but I have no success. I either get one of those two errors depending on which revision of the plugin I use: CGI::Session::CookieStore::TamperedWithCookie (Using plugin from directory) or ActionView::TemplateError (Session key invalid or no longer valid) (Using plugin from a week ago or so). Has anyone successfully gotten an app that as to

For anyone using both and encountering trouble with stylesheets (specifically, the paths being incorrect in production mode)... Removing facebooker solves the issue. But I bet you don''t want to do that, eh? So, simply setting ActionController::Base.asset_host = '''' also works like butter. I''m not 100% clear on why asset_host has anything to do with

Hey there! I would like the discussion to continue on how facebooker handles routes, as it appears that there is an unsolved issue. Mike, I read your recent reply involving setting facebook''s callback_path to the root of the rails app, and adding a route to catch all calls to the app root where canvas => true. I just want to point out this is counterintuitive to some folks and

Hi I am trying to use facebooker with an existing website that already has a model named ''User''. I therefore created a model called BkUser for use with facebooker. Also I have different controllers for all facebook requests. I am using acts_as_authenticated for handling login etc for my website and everytime a user is logged into my facebook app and tries to also browse the

Hey everybody. I''ve been using Facebooker on several projects over the last few months and feel like it is really starting to mature. I''d like to push towards a 1.0 release within the next month. I''d really like everybody''s input on what still needs to be done, as well as some help in wrapping things up. I''ve created a list of things that still

May seem strange but I''ve gotten a couple requests from clients [2 out of 4] abt this.. generally the requirement is that they want to serve up slightly different content but from more or less the same app.. I dug into init.rb and determined that its seems likely with some rearranging of facebooker.yml config - is there anything else of the top of anybody''s head that might be an

In my controllers I have a respond_to block for both fbml and fbjs. I created the fbjs mime type in environment.rb: Mime::Type.register "application/javascript", :fbjs However, even if I specify fbjs in a parameter name format during AJAX post requests, it is being overwritten by Rails or Facebooker as FBML. I confirmed this by placing logger.debug params[:format] immediately before
