hello, with facebooker can I get a list of someone''s facebook friends, only using his facebook id? If yes, then please let me know how... (and don''t read further) If this is not possible, then here is my problem: ------------------------------------------- I have a flash movie embedded in the canvas page of my Facebooker application. The movie gets information from an xml

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

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

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

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 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

Hi there, I''ve configured my post-remove URL (which has to be directly to my site, not an apps.facebook.com URL) and now I''m trying to figure out how to handle this. It''s poorly documented here: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Post-Remove_URL It seems as though support for this is currently not yet in Facebooker. In order to get it to work, it

Hi all, I just launched my new facebooker-based app into public beta. It''s called Head Hunting and is designed to help recruiters, job hunters and employees with access to a "refer a friend" employment scheme. You can take a look and post jobs to your profile at: http://apps.facebook.com/headhunting/ I''d like to say a big thanks to Mike and all the facebooker

Hey, I am wondering if anyone has run into this issue before. I can''t seem to figure out what Facebook is doing. I have an application that only requires Facebook Authentication, the user doesn''t need to "add" the app. So at the top of my main controller I have class GettingStartedController < ApplicationController ensure_authenticated_to_facebook ......

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

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

Does anyone know how to update a Facebook Status with Facebooker?

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?

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

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''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''ve stepped through the basics of setting up facebooker, but I consistently see this message: "undefined local variable or method `ensure_authenticated_to_facebook'' for FacebookController:Class" My controller is defined: << class FacebookController < ApplicationController ensure_authenticated_to_facebook def index @facebook_user =

Had a user add our app to a Facebook Page, http://www.facebook.com/business/?pages. Facebook Pages act like users but are more for businesses and Bands. It looks like the current Facebooker API doesn''t currently support setting the Profile FBML for a Page. The current code for setting the proflie is this: def profile_fbml=(markup)

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
