similar to: session handling for non-facebook requests

I was hoping to announce this a month ago, but some legal wrangling took longer than expected. Developing Facebook Platform Applications with Rails is now available in Beta at http://www.pragprog.com/titles/mmfacer It walks you through creating a Facebook application with Facebooker, all the way from setup to handling large number of users. Thank all of you for asking questions on this

I''m working on the ability to share a single session between Facebook and Non-Facebook requests. Right now, to setup a shared session, you create a link like: <%= link_to "Non-Facebook view",leaders_url(facebook_session_parameters.merge(:canvas=>false))%> The facebook_session_parameters includes all of the necessary info. Is this okay, or would it be better as

I just went through and cleaned out most of the bugs and patches. I also added a facebooker.js file that implements enough of prototype to do $() and link_to_remote with :update and remote_form_for with :update Let me know if you run into any issues with it.

Is anyone planning on using Facebook Connect? I have the implementation that I think covers the user registration. I''m going to work on the UI stuff as well but would love to get some feedback on it. Mike -- Mike Mangino http://www.elevatedrails.com

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 everyone. I have a quick question. Checking out facebooker as a plugin is currently really slow due to the example rails application. Would anyone object if I moved that out of the main plugin directory? Mike -- Mike Mangino http://www.elevatedrails.com

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

Hi All- I am still trying to figure out the best way to handle facebook session for my users. Here is my current flow: in my "external accounts controller" 1) before_filter :ensure_authenticated_to_facebook, :only =&gt; [:authenticate_facebook, :edit_facebook] 2) when the user links into facebook, facebooker authenticates and redirects back to my application 3) i detect the

I am requesting that we change the paths that absolutely point to the facebook URL. In the PHP client there is a method in the facebook.php file called get_facebook_url() so this is easy to change there. One reason for this: Ringside Networks is a drop in replacement for Facebook that can be used for localhost development and eventually an abstraction for most social networks - it mimics 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

Hey All, I think I found a bug but I would be suprised since it would cause major problems. We setup the asset_host in init.rb with: if File.exist?(facebook_config) FACEBOOKER = YAML.load_file(facebook_config)[RAILS_ENV] ENV[''FACEBOOK_API_KEY''] = FACEBOOKER[''api_key''] ENV[''FACEBOOK_SECRET_KEY''] =

Hi All, I''m having horrible problems with this exception, which seems to happen as soon as I access the session object. Does anyone know what the path is to recover from this? This post looked to be the most promising: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/facebooker-talk/2007-December/000047.html And I followed all of the steps except switching my session store, and modifying the default

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

Hey, I am using Rails 2.1. I was wondering if there is a preference between using gem or script/plugin to install facebooker. Latest revision on svn (225) seems to be missing an "end" in lib/facebooker/models/user.rb (line 218). Thanks, Ram -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

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

Hi All, I''m trying to use a form to upload a photo that I will save using attachment_fu. I''m very new to Facebookr so I apologize if this is covered somewhere, but I''m kind of stumped. Here''s what I''m doing now: <% facebook_form_for(:my_object, :url => { :action => ''upload_photo'', :id => params[:id] }, :html => {

Hey everybody. It''s been a while since I''ve spent any serious time on Facebooker. I''m going to be doing a bunch of work in the near future to support the new profile update. I''m committing a few things now. The first is pretty error messages for Rails in development mode. You''ll now get a stack trace through Facebook, just like you do for

Hi I am currently using facebooker to do some facebook connect. I found out that these functions are currently missing from facebooker connect.registerUsers connect.unregisterUsers I have modified user.rb and parser.rb to get these function going. I have verified that it works and would love to contribute stuff back. However I can''t figure out how to go about it. Any help would be

Hi! I have an existing application, basically a very simple Hobo app. It works... When I install the Facebooker plugin and create the facebooker.yml file (with valid or fake content, doesn''t matter), the original app starts behaving strangely. The controller and view logic keeps working, but several static files stop being served from http://localhost:3000/javascripts and start being
