Hey Mike and the rest of the Gang, I just finished packaging up a plugin for backgrounding many of the Facebook API calls so that they don''t take up the request cycle. Hopefully you will find it useful, once I started to package it up I realized that there was a much simpler approach so I don''t have this in production yet but it will be soon. It turned out to be simple

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.

Im using a customs processor to run ffmpeg on a video to create a thumbnail. So far so good. Except when I do: cmd = "-i #{@file.path} -f flv -s 320x240 ~/Downloads/foobar/q.flv" success = Paperclip.run(''ffmpeg'', cmd) Console is reporting: ffmpeg ''-i /var/folders/uL/uL0bYOOZEZaJH5E+BmDJVE+++TI/-Tmp-/stream, 16824,1.mpeg -f flv -s 320x240

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

The URLs for CSS/JS files are being rewritten to the address specified in the tunnel even when outside of the facebook canvas. Is anyone else having this problem?

Hi all I am working on a heavy engineering project. And the requirement is that I needto do a lot of process before I store the data to the db. Now the question is that I want to do the process that I am doing but I want to do it in the background. What I actually mean to say is that..I just want the user to get a msg that Records Saved. But in real I want the process to go on in background.

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''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.

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

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

There are groups within our app that people can be invited too. If a user recieves an invite to a group and hasn''t yet added the application the filter chain ends up redirecting them to the main canvas page instead of the the group page directly. Is there a way to handle this if the user hasn''t installed the app, I tried redirect_back_or_default in one of my controllers but it

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

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

As per my last email, I''m generating links to our app outside of Facebook. Sorry for the onslaught of emails on this. I do link generation in Publisher based code as well. What I''m finding is that the Facebooker UrlRewriter doesn''t get used in Publisher. This makes sense if we assume that Publisher can be used outside of an HTTP request, and things like the

Can I second this question? Could someone provide a simple example of how they set up a functional test for a controller that uses facebooker?? Do you have to copy a lot of stuff from rails_integration_test.rb ? I guess that since we don''t have a test facebook to test against, we have to stub out a lot of stuff right? --simon > Hi, I''m wondering if folks would care

I''ve been all good and written some great validation in my models, but when something doesn''t validate, I''m used to using error_messages_for in my view to display the errors. Is there some sort of facebook_messages_for equivalent in facebooker? Or perhaps some parameter I can pass to facebook_messages? Justin

I generate a lot of URL''s in my Facebook related code that point to our main site, not our FB app. My understanding was that the way to do this was to use ":canvas => false" as a parameter to url_for and link_to and so on. However, that doesn''t seem to generate the proper URL''s. The URL''s still point to apps.facebook.com (because they

Hello, I am running into issues using *_path() and *_url() helpers the Facebooker Publisher framework. I encounter the following error when using these helpers while *inside of a partial*: undefined method `default_url_options'' for ActionView::Base:Class I''ve seen a few other people speak about this issue, yet I haven''t seen any resolution on the mailing list yet.

Hey All, I am wondering if anyone has done any work around sending emails through the API. It looks like facebooker is using part of a deprecated API, Notifications.send used to take an email part. They now have a Notifications.sendEmail call which will take recipients, subject, text part and fbml part. Looking at the code it seems like I need to add a method to the session

This is something I just cooked up to allow me to restrict temporarily who can access my app, based on an array of UIDs. It''s messy but works. Put at the top of your controller, at the end of your filters. # This filter is only until we open everything up before_filter do |c| acceptable_uids = [''594180515'', ''122612996''] unless
