similar to: facebooker getting started

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

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

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

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 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

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, 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, 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

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

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

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" />

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

Hello, May I introduce myself - I''m the publisher of the new ruby API for facebook site (for now titled rfacebook questions & answers) - and way back I''ve published the Java Web Start F.A.Q (*1). Anyways, if you''re using the Facebooker gem I invite you to let us know about your Facebook app and if you''re sign-on I will follow-up with sending you four

Hi all, I wanted to test requests from internal facebook apps, so I''ve been mimicking FBML requests from facebook in my tests using the following: def test_can_facebook_internal_app_login fb_login_as :facebooker num_of_members = Member.count facebook_request :get, :home assert_response :success assert_equal num_of_members, Member.count

I installed the Facebooker plugin and upon placing it on a staging server, I keep running into stack level too deep errors. It seems to stem from Facebooker using alias_method_chain to override some of the ActionController methods. I believe it''s getting loaded twice causing confusion. I''ve tried various methods include wrapping a unless respond_to?(:method) around the

I''ve been spiking on a Facebook application so far just to learn the Facebook(er) API, but I''d prefer to test drive. It seems to me (with my limited knowledge) that what''s needed is some sort of mocking framework at the network level. I''m thinking of creating a set of YAML files similar to fixtures that represent the remote Facebook state, then overriding

A few weeks ago I posted an FBJS library that I had been working on. I have now updated that library to be fully compatible with Facebooker and created a publicity accessible fork for people to try it out. I did attempt to maintain backwards compatability, but I strongly recommend switching to the new methods. The fork is located here: http://github.com/gdeglin/facebooker/ A helper has been

Hey guys, Anyone using facebooker on a rails 2.0 site? I noticed at least one deprecated call in facebooker, which i am working on a patch for but didn''t know if anyone else has tried it out on the new build of rails yet. Later, Mark

I''m working with Matt [rfacebook] on a ''Migration to Facebooker'' tag that essentially sets the stage [with backward compatibility] for a low-risk transition to Facebooker but had a quick question - doesn''t look like it possible to get at the raw XML from Session/Service/etc - is that a correct or perhaps I missed something? We don''t intend to recreate

Hey folks, I''ve stuck a copy of the latest rdoc online, along with a few other useful bits of information and links. I''ll update it any time I see any new commits. http://facebooker.professionalnerd.com/ Cheers, Jon -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
