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

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

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

I attached a rails helper implementation of the fb_table described here: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Facebook_Styles I included testing and comments. I hope you find it useful. Curiously, it''s really a small extension of FBML. Richard -------------- next part -------------- Index: test/rails_integration_test.rb

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

In my controllers I have a respond_to block for both fbml and fbjs. I created the fbjs mime type in environment.rb: Mime::Type.register "application/javascript", :fbjs However, even if I specify fbjs in a parameter name format during AJAX post requests, it is being overwritten by Rails or Facebooker as FBML. I confirmed this by placing logger.debug params[:format] immediately before

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?

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.

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

Hi I just made some changes / additions for myself in facebooker and posted the patches on rubyforge, e.g.: https://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php? func=detail&aid=18639&group_id=4187&atid=16130 (adds support for fb:dialog FBML tag) Is this the right way to do it? --simon -- http://simonwoodside.com

I don''t know if anyone is using this but I just fixed a bunch of bugs, some big ones, and moved this project to RubyForge SVN servers. So you can get it here now: script/plugin install http://facebooker-mq.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/facebooker-mq/ This is working great for me on a couple of projects. Here is the README Updated: 3/14/2008 Purpose: The purpose of FacebookerMQ is to

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 wrote an fbjs library to help speed up development of some of my applications. I plan to have some sort of "official" release with a blog entry and github repository at some point, but I thought you guys might want to have it earlier. It''s still a work in progress. I''ve been using every method at least once in my application but it''s still possible there is

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:

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

Hi there, I''m wrapping my head around Facebooker to try and build some integration points between an existing ROR application and facebook. I''ve managed to get FB talking to my app but when I tried to access my ROR app directly I noticed that all requests for images, CSS, and JS files were being made through my callback_url. Commenting out the following line from

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

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
