The profile picture album is treated as a special album by Facebok and is not returned in the normal get photo albums API call. A bunch of special operations have to be performed to get the aid for the profile picture album. I added a method to User to get the profile pics. Use as follows: facebook_session.user.profile_photos # returns Photo objects Enjoy, Shane -- http://myfitbuddy.com |

Hi There, I was wondering what the appropriate way to use the applicationproperties.rb model was. I was hoping to query it to find out which users are developers for my app and then grant special permissions to them ... I tried creating something like this: class ApplicationProperties < ActiveRecord::Base def facebook_session @facebook_session ||= returning

I added a route mapper called facebook_resources. This allows you to create pseudo-resource routes. Since everything is a POST in Facebook, you can''t identify routes using HTTP verbs. Each route is prefixed with its action, except for index. Example: map.facebook_resources :profiles Will give you the following named routes: new_profile POST /profiles/new profiles POST

Facebook added the ''degree'' field to education info. This breaks user.populate because the ''degree'' field doesn''t exist in the education history model. On a side note, if a method calls a dangerous method (ending with !), shouldn''t it be classified as dangerous too? Shane -- http://myfitbuddy.com | http://shanesbrain.net |

Hey guys- I started a module for Rails test helpers. The first one is assert_fb_redirect. This is like Rails'' assert_redirect, but works for the fb:redirect FBML tag. Any ideas for more? I was thinking about a version of assert_select that works with Facebook. assert_select is based on CSS selectors, which won''t work with Facebook since the use of colons (:) in search

Hey guys- to_json in Rails 1.2 produces json with unquoted keys, which is invalid. Therefore, publish_templatized_action produces invalid json for feed publishing, and you''ll get an error from Facebook. To fix this, put this line in environment.rb: ActiveSupport::JSON.unquote_hash_key_identifiers = false You don''t need to do this if you''re running Rails 2.0. Just a

Hey guys- A few methods useful for testing have been added to trunk: 1) facebook_post For use in controller unit tests and integration tests. Basically, it delegates to the standard "post" method for simulating post requests in a test, but constructs mock fb_sig params and passes them along to the requested action with the rest of the params that the test specifies. 2)

I''m using render_to_string in an after_filter, which renders a partial that is sent to a web service. Here''s the code: class MyController < ApplicationController after_filter :post_to_webservice def show # show logic end def post_to_webservice stuff = render_to_string :partial => ''stuff'' webservice_post(stuff) end I get a DoubleRenderError in the

Hello, I am using the paperclip plugin to upload images and it works absolutely fine. I intend to save my uploaded images to C:\Application_name\public folder. Accordingly, with some study over the i-net, I changed the :path option of has_attached_file to - :path => "C:/Application_name/ public/:class/:attachment/:id/:style_:basename.:extension" Now, the files are being saved to

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

The only solution I''ve seen to the problem of the nested frame on the login/install pages (when using iframes rather than fbml), is to use JS to cause a redirect (c.f. http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/facebooker-talk/2008-May/000638.html, http://webjazz.blogspot.com/2008/03/gotchas-of-internal-iframe-facebook.html): def create_new_facebook_session_and_redirect!

Hi, I''m looking for a way to store common settings, such as the application_name or email address from value in a file. I then want to be able to call these settings in my controllers and models? Is there any easy way of doing this? and where would you recommend I save the file ? Thanks scott -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, I''m new to facebooker and ruby, so not sure if the issue I am having is due to my misunderstanding or a bug in facebooker plugin. Here is what I have: def show @current_user ||= facebook_session.user @member ||= params[:id].to_s==@current_user.id.to_s ? @current_user : Facebooker::User.new(params[:id]) #for each of current_user''s friends, check if they are

I''ve got this code in one of my views: <% for event in @facebook_session.events( :uid => @facebook_user.uid ) %> <p><%= @facebook_session.event_members(event.eid).length %></p> <% end %> It should print the # of people coming to each of this user''s events. Let''s say that would be "5 12 8". Instead

Hi there, I am trying to deploy a rails app on dreamhost.

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

Hey Guys, I am wondering if I am missing something here. I am noticing that after a user installs my app I get a request that not only contains an auth_key but also contains a valid session key. Occasionally I am seeing that Facebook server is occasionally sending a connection reset during the auth key authentication method, this caused me to notice that secure_with_token is given precedence in

I just pushed my facebook app up to 2.0.1 and noticed that I am now getting these errors: ActionView::TemplateError (Session key invalid or no longer valid) on line #3 of users/index.fbml.erb: It appears that I get the facebook_session object back but when i introspect and try and get the user''s name or something i get the session error. Has anyone else had these problems?

I just uploaded the first version of my .gem-based Rails application installer to Rubyforge (http://rubyforge.org/projects/rails-installer/; gem install rails-app-installer). This is extracted from Typo 4.0, and it''s intended to make it easy to build user-friendly installers for Rails applications. This isn''t intended to compete with Capistrano; it''s much

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
