I just wanted to contribute a quick-start page with details about how to get the Facebook session (for internal apps), how to get user info, set profile FBML, post to the news feed, etc. I could even send this as text, or I can add a page using the Radiant CMS if it''s not too cumbersome. I am also working with Dave Clements to augment the configuration options to make it easier for

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

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

So I have an existing app & facebook app in same rails application, for now I have decided to go the route of creating a controller for facebook stuff (called FaceController). (setup is canvas, fbml) So I have: facebook config http://myurl:myport/face/ My controllers name is face, so I dont even need a manual route, for the landing page it works like a charm. but, when I try to make

Didn''t someone mention that they were using background.rb to move some of the api calls to a background process? Can they explain what they are doing a little further? I think it was Mike, but I can''t find the message in my archives. Thanks, ----- BJ Clark the science department bjclark at scidept.com www.scidept.com

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

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:

If you are using facebooker as a plugin, you can now have all your configuration in one place, namely config/facebooker.yml. You can create this file with rake facebooker:setup. It is also generated when you install it as a plugin. It has a similar setup to database.yml with sections for each environment. You can also configure your ssh reverse tunnels. If you are upgrading, make sure to

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 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. Mike -- Mike Mangino http://www.elevatedrails.com

Anyone started implementing the new Batch api method? BJ ----- BJ Clark the science department bjclark at scidept.com www.scidept.com

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hi all, I''ve been looking at the performance of my fb app and one glaring issue seems to be with the parsing speed of rexml in processing the results. Has anyone looked into porting the facebooker parser from rexml to libxml? If not, any reason I shouldn''t try? Thanks! Yu-Shan. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

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

Hello Eveyone, I am new here, and am have no idea how to setup routes in the routes.rb file while using fbml. The regular map.resources :gifts map.resources :wishlists map.resources :invitations map.resources :comments does not work. This tutorial http://rfacebook.wordpress.com/2008/02/04/quickstartfacebooker/ says to create a map.root, such as the one mentioned "map.root
