Hey everyone. I''ve got a best practices question. How are you guys rendering newsfeeds? We have a couple of apps where we send newsfeed items from a backend process. As such, we aren''t in the context of a controller and can''t use the rails template rendering. We''ve tried about 3 different ways to make that bearable, but aren''t having much

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''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

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

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

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

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, 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 ......

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

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

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

Hey guys, Anyone using facebooker on a rails 2.0 site? I noticed at least one deprecated call in facebooker, which i am working on a patch for but didn''t know if anyone else has tried it out on the new build of rails yet. Later, Mark

Hi guys, I am new to this list and thought i''d say hello. I am using facebooker on a new project and so far I am really pleased with it. I saw that some users are having woes with the url_rewriter breaking urls for paths outside of the facebook canvas (i.e. your site supports both facebook and non-facebook users). I don''t have a prefect answer for this but I wrote a

Is anyone else getting this error in their routes, when running Facebooker from a plugin. ./script/../config/../config/routes.rb:67: undefined method `facebook_resources'' for main:Object (NoMethodError) from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.3/lib/ action_controller/routing.rb:1139:in `draw'' from ./script/../config/../config/routes.rb:1

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 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

With the new fb_sig_request_method provided by Facebook, I''ve patched shanev''s pseudo-resource routes to generate restful routes, minus some exceptions. The announcement: http://www.facebook.com/developers/message.php#msg_126 Patch is submitted here: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=16105&group_id=4187&atid=16132 Blog entry about it:

Hey guys- Two new features: Set/get app properties like this: properties = { :application_name => "Video Jukebox", :default_fbml => "blah" } facebook_session.admin.set_app_properties(properties) properties = facebook_session.admin.get_app_properties(:application_name, :default_fbml) Set/get cookies: facebook_session.data.set_cookie(uid,
