Mike -

1) Is the point of making them (the API URLs - currently constants)
class methods so they can be more readily changed - as in after the
plugin is loaded and during program execution? If it is not, I don't
see why my above code wouldn't suffice.

2) If you guys plan on letting these URLs change during program
execution, how will you detect what API to set the configuration for?
The POST params might be the same (At least I suspect they are the
same for Bebo and Facebook, Ringside however does have some unique
additions).

3) What are magic constants?

4) Could you give more detail on this? "We should take every magic
constant and turn it into a call on the
session."

They would change based upon the type of session used. Facebook will  
not change their API url during execution, so there is no need for  
that to change during requests. Each different container will have  
it's own session object.

You need some way to tell what site you are talking to. Facebook and  
Bebo have different parameters. Bebo uses sn_* where facebook uses  
fb_*. Each container will need to provide a way of determining if the  
request is for them. Once a session is active, the stored session will  
tell you what you need to know.

By magic constants, I mean strings in the API. For instance some  
methods cal session.post on "facebook.users.user_getInfo", that is a  
magic constant. Instead, it should be session.post(:user_get_info) or  
something similar. Then, the user can look up what API key it needs to  
use for that platform.

I'm close to getting this working in a fairly DRY fashion. First, a
few questions and some guidance.

Right now I have all the configuration variables loaded from
facebooker.yml. You can specify 3 different APIs for each RAILS_ENV -
facebook, bebo, or ringside, but if you specify nothing, it defaults
to the Facebook configuration.  When the plugin is initialized it
stores the YAML file into the ENV hash.

The plan is that the session object will be created by examining the
POST parameters on each request and grabbing the correct configuration
from the ENV hash. Other classes needing the information will call
@session.apps_url, or @session.www_url etc..

Before I can continue on this route, I need to access the parameters
hash. So is there a built in way to access the parameter hash from the
session class? I could pass it in everywhere
Facebooker::Session.create, or Session.secret_key, etc.. is called,
but that would require a few changes in the controller.

This seems optimal because it allows each request to your application
to respond to requests from Bebo, Facebook, Ringside, or other future
APIs without reloading the YAML file.

Please provide suggestions, corrections, or guidance.

Not sure if I am totally following you.
In the bebo_adapter I created I overrode the controller method

new_facebook_session  to create the appropriate session object at the time
the request parameters are processed.  After you have the appropriate
Session object then everything should be able to be contained within that
Session object.  I don't think you need the params being processed again.

What I was going to do is make sure the
Facebooker::Sesttion.current_sessionalways hold the correct session.

Then if you need to access some configuration, like deep in url_rewriting,
you can call Facebooker::Session.current_session.application_base

Not sure if that helps.

Here are a couple of other issue that might come up.

If you are doing any async processing then you will not have an request
parameters to go off of so creating the correct session type should be
enough to encapsulate all the configuration parameters.  This is another
reason why may want to process the parameters once and then have everything
else go off the current_session object.

Hope that helps,  I am attaching the bebo_adapter that I have in production
right now in case it helps.  There are a lot of other places in bebo that
the API's don't match up so I have to patch different places in the code.

Subject: [Facebooker-talk] facebooker plugin!?
Message-ID: <284c13bc0804012104y3fcbd94k7fff562bab433494@mail.gmail.com>

I'm trying to create a facebook application but I have no success. I
either get one of those two errors depending on which revision of the
plugin I use:

CGI::Session::CookieStore::TamperedWithCookie (Using plugin from directory)

or

ActionView::TemplateError (Session key invalid or no longer valid)
(Using plugin from a week ago or so).

Has anyone successfully gotten an app that as to be added
(ensure_application_is_installed_by_facebook_user) and uses FBML (not
iframe) ? I can't get it to work.. I don't know if it's the plugin or
me but any input would be great...

Are you using the cookie session store? If so, don't use that. It  
won't work with Facebook, since Facebook doesn't support cookies.

Dave, Mike et al.,

I like the Bebo adapter, but I was still hoping to have the
functionality to change the API paths in the plugin, and allow the
adapters to focus on the API methods.

I have discovered that this is much harder to do than I thought. The
Facebooker plugin is built in a way that will require quite a bit of
reconfiguration:

The canvas page, and secret key seem to be getting called from either
static methods or ENV variables before the session is created, but
with my additions it is not until the session is created that the
class methods are ready with the correct canvas page and API URLs.
Also, the method being used to access the session
(Facebooker::Session.current) seems to return the hash instead of the
actual Ruby object.

Changing this is going to require configuration that I am not sure the
commit team is willing to commit. Still, I have attached what code I
have added so far. Let me know if you guys want to continue down this
path and I'll keep working, but until then I'm just going to hardcode
an adapter (as Dave did) with what I need.

Yeah,
The bebo adapter is a work in progress.  A big hack actually to get things
in production for travelerstable.com.  I was about to split the repo and
start implementing it in a much cleaner way.  I'll put that back on my list
of things todo and see if we can't get a more extensible architecture in
place.

Dave, thanks for this Bebo adapter, I am modifying it for Ringside. If
you don't mind are there any special instructions to use it?

I required it at the end of init.rb but I am having a problem with
incorrect signature during the controller's verify_signature method.

Specifically I am getting an incorrect signature (although I do have
have the ringside_api_key and ringside_secret_key in the
facebooker.yml)

Is there anything else to do besides requiring this file? I noticed
during a debugger session that while in the verify_signature method,
it was using the api_key and secret_key instead of the ringside keys,
perhaps it is not loading them correctly before the session is
created.

I apologize for asking for help with your adapter, I do greatly
appreciate your work. Feel free to ignore.

I will complete the rest of the adapter and put it up for public
consumption in case anyone is interesting in playing with Ringside.

Jonathan

Hey Johnathan,

It hasn't been cleaned up .  I think one piece that is missing is  
where I setup the session... I think that is in my application.rb

Here is some code from my application.rb

  ############ BEBO OVERIDE STUFF
   #
   # Overide the session create so that we can override the above  
methods
   # This won't be necessary if we abstract install url api server  
url , api path rest
   def new_facebook_session
     if(Facebooker::Session.bebo_request)
       Facebooker::BeboSession.create(Facebooker::BeboSession.api_key,  
Facebooker::BeboSession.secret_key)
     else
       Facebooker::Session.create(Facebooker::Session.api_key,  
Facebooker::Session.secret_key)
     end
   end



   # Setup bebo context.  Itried a prepend before filter here but it  
didn't work.
   def set_facebook_session
     set_application_context
     super
   end

   #  Expose from the class level contenxt whether we are in a bebo  
request or not.

   def set_application_context
     Facebooker::Session.bebo_request =  params[:fb_sig_network] ==  
'Bebo'
   end


Like I said I am going to try and clean this up but for now you are on  
your own to try and piece it together.   Feel free to ask me anything.

Dave

Message-ID: <ab8fbadc0804021823i1af2fd4dj7a6d8416c4aaace6@mail.gmail.com>

I'm just wondering what the best way to go about loading my API keys
from the database is ...

Should I simply place them in the ENV variable?

Is there a way better way to go about this?

You'll probably have to modify the plugin, at least
Facebooker::Session since right now the API key is loaded once at
plugin initialization, and if you're running more than 1 app, you'll
need to signal some way to indicate which keys to load.

One way to do this is to check for parameters in Application.rb with a
before_filter and set a new variable in the Facebooker::Session class.

Keep us updated on your progress, this would be a great contribution.

At the moment I just have a before_filter in my controller:

      ENV['FACEBOOK_API_KEY'] =  @app.api_key
      ENV['FACEBOOK_SECRET_KEY'] = @app.secret_key

Which seems to be working fine.

Hi,

I don't know how most of you get these messages, but I get the digest
version. It seems that most
people, when replying to a message, include all the previous messages
in their reply. This means that when I read the digest version, I need
to scroll through several pages of old emails to find the new ones. It
doesn't make sense (to
me)
to be resend these old messages over and over again. Do you think we
could try to reduce this?
It also make reading these messages on my BlackBerry pretty much impossible.

I am sorry if there is some valid reason to be doing it this way. If there
is, please let me know and I'll crawl back into my shell. I don't want to be
all whiny about it, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to mention it.

By the way, I love facebooker. You have done an excellent job. It has put
developing a facebook application within my reach  :)

Cheers,

Paul

Paul,
I think that you must have digest turned on.  You can change that by
following the link at teh bottom of the email.

Are you trying to support multiple applications from a single  
application?

I'm not a big fan of using Environment variables for this.  In my  
local copy, I have methods on the Facebooker module, so that you can  
call

Facebooker.api_key and Facebooker.secret_key. This seems a little  
cleaner to me. That would allow you to override those methods to pull  
them from the DB or do anything else.

Subject: [Facebooker-talk] routes.rb definitions not working???
Message-ID: <ffaf093f0804031509q1077443fhf4fb52842ab58e98@mail.gmail.com>

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 'workshop'".
Other places mention adding

:conditions => {:canvas=>true,:method=>:gets}.


I have tried

map.root :controller => ="wishlists", :action => "index"

and it does not work.

And the other routes are not working either.  What is the correct way to
declare facebooker routes?

Cheers!!

Marco

Can you explain what you are trying to do? map.resource :gifts does in  
fact work, as does map.root :controller=>"wishlists"

What error do you see?

I get an "Error while loading page" to show up.  ActionView::TemplateError
(undefined local variable or method `create_wishlist_path'.  I have been
getting all types of these errors weather it is create_wishlist_path or
new_wishlist_path, or gifts_path.  None of them seem to be working.  No idea
why?

Actually, after looking through my development log, some of them seem to be
working while others are clearly not recognized, but for some reason, the
ones that are working are not being displayed to the facebook canvas.  That
is when I get a "Error while loading page"  No idea why.

Subject: [Facebooker-talk] something wrong with event_members
Message-ID: <876E3C9B-F4A2-414D-9B2C-2A532683F69C@yahoo.com>

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 it's printing "5 5 5", in  
other words, the # of people going to the first event, repeated over  
and over again for each of the other events.

Is there something wrong with my code, or something wrong with  
facebooker? Is it caching something wrong maybe???

create_wishlist_path isn't a valid path. You want to do a POST to  
wishlists_path()

There was an old version of routing for Facebook that used these non- 
standards path, but that hasn't existed for months :)

Subject: [Facebooker-talk] url_for + :canvas => false weirdness for non
	resource controllers
Message-ID: <6B47DB67-52EC-45E9-9919-20C52EB63F7E@gmail.com>

I noticed something strange in my app today. It appears that the  
extra canvas path appended in url_for is back but only for  
controllers that are not resources. Here is an example I have in my  
site:

campaigns is a resource
checkout is not

# With the canvas false flag

(rdb:1) @controller.url_for(:controller => 'campaigns', :action =>  
'show', :id => 1,:canvas => false,:only_path => true)
"/campaigns/1"

(rdb:1) @controller.url_for(:controller => 'checkout', :action =>  
'ipn',:canvas => false,:only_path => true)
"/pledgie/checkout/ipn"


# With the canvas true flag
(rdb:1) @controller.url_for(:controller => 'campaigns', :action =>  
'ipn',:canvas => true,:only_path => true)
"/pledgie/campaign/1"

(rdb:1) @controller.url_for(:controller => 'checkout', :action =>  
'ipn',:canvas => true,:only_path => true)
"/pledgie/pledgie/checkout/ipn"

Notice that the non resource controller "checkout" has an extra  
canvas path applied to it.

Anyone know a way around this?

Hi

This is my first poting on the list. Please excuse me if this has bug
has already been resolved. However its not fixed in the code as I
checked out the latest copy sometime back. (rest inline)

This is happening when you do something like

<% remote_form_for Comment.new, :url=>comment_url(:canvas=>false),
:update=>'all_comments' do |f|%>
<%= f.text_area :comment %>

.....
<%end-%>

This passes a javascript object (Comment object)  to
encodeURIComponent(str) which is expecting a string. Therefore an
error is raised.

If you use <%=text_area_tag :comment%>, then it works as expected. I
verified this by using breakpoints in firebug. I am not very
proficient in javascript so I cannot come up with a patch.

Hope this helps

Regards
Prateek

Hello!

Thanks for the response Mike and Nicholaus. I apologize for the delay
in replying, but I have been deep in development mode and deploying my
Facebook Application.

I was running an older version of Facebooker, so I thought I'd try and
upgrade my application today to the newest version. Happy to see that
a number of bugs have been fixed that I had money patches for, but I
still am experiencing some issues using *_path() style paths in
partials under the Publisher framework.

There has been a change in the errors I receive, though. I do not
receive the previous error "undefined method `default_url_options' for
ActionView::Base:Class", anymore. There is a path returned, but it is
relative. I attempted modifying my code to use ":only_path => false"
in my _path method call, to see if I'd receive a full, absolute URL
with my application path. Unfortunately, I receive an exception which
was caught by my event processor:

"Missing host to link to! Please provide :host parameter or set
default_url_options[:host]"

I took a look in the publisher code and see that default_url_options
method is indeed defined and looks right. Just for laughs, I copied
this decleration into my own publisher class, to see if it would work.
I still receive the same error.

It looks like we are getting closer to solving the problem. I hope one
of you with some more intimaacy with this framework could assist me,
as currently I have to build all my publisher URLs in my partials
manually as strings (yuck!).

Thanks for your assistance, I greatly appreciate it!

- Nick

Facebook changed the way some of their methods work last week. I have  
something that should be a fix, but I ran into another Facebook bug.  
As soon as they fix that bug, I will commit my change.

Until then, remove_form_for won't work.

Sorry about that.

Mike

Can you show the exact code you are using and also let us know what  
version of Rails you are using?

Mike,

As requested, here is the code involved:

routes.rb
--------------------------

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
 map.resource :home
end

event_publisher.rb
--------------------------

class EventPublisher < Facebooker::Rails::Publisher
 include ActionController::UrlWriter

 def profile_update(uid, session)
   user = Facebooker::User.new(uid, session)
   send_as :profile
   from user
   recipients user

   Facebooker::Session.current = session

   profile render(:partial => 'profile/profile' )
 end
end

_profile.fbml.erb
----------------------

<%= render(:partial => 'profile/style' ) %>

<div id="content" class="wide">
 <%= link_to 'test', home_path %>
</div>

----------------------

Pretty basic stuff -- I hope I'm doing something thats obvious so I
can get this fixed up ;) I am using resource routes throughout the
rest of my code without issue. It is just partials under Publisher
that fail.

Thanks,
Nick

Nick, what version of Rails are you using?  I've run into issues in this
same area under Rails 1.2.x.  My app will be moved to Rails 2 in the future,
but it's a serious undertaking for us, so I haven't been able to move it and
test out whether Rails 2 solves these problems.  Thus, I'm interested to
know your Rails version and if that may play into it or not.

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?

Hi Christopher,

We are running Rails 2.0.2, so unfortunately that doesn't seem to be
the issue... but hopefully we are experiencing the same issue,
regardless of the rails version so we both can get it resolved!

Take care,
Nick Holland

Another shameless plug:

I'm working on this right now. It should be available as part of http://www.pragprog.com/titles/mmfacer 
  within the next few weeks.

Also, I'm looking for a couple of additional reviewers. If you want an  
advanced copy of the entire book and are willing to act as a reviewer,  
let me know. You'll have to read through the whole book and actually  
try all of the coding.

Drop me an email if you want to review it.

Does this work for non-singular resources? I always use the plural,  
and don't currently have any problems. I'll try to take a look at this  
during the week.

Mike,

We use both singular and non-singular resources in the partials for
notifications, templatized actions and profiles, they all seem to
elicit the same problem.

It seems like were getting closer to solving the issue, as *_path()
now returns the relative path of the resource, but I can't seem to get
it to spit out an absolute path, without hitting the error "Missing
host to link to! Please provide :host parameter or set
default_url_options[:host]".

When I do try using :only_path => false as a parameter to our *_path()
calls, I get an exception stating that it the default_url_options
method doesn't exist. The partials can't see the default_url_options
method from the base class or even from my own class that extends
Publisher (if I throw it in there as a test).

I appreciate you digging deeper, Mike!

- Nick

_path will always spit out a path. If you want a URL, try using _url

I can't wait!

Is there at least a way to get facebook to show me the RoR error page  
(with the stack trace) instead of the normal "An error occurred,  
we're working on it" text? Maybe returning a fake HTTP response or  
something?

Mike,

I would hope that would've been the issue, but I get the same error as
when I use _path's with ":only_path => false":

"Missing host to link to! Please provide :host parameter or set
default_url_options[:host]"

Yes,

Have ActionController return a 200 on an error. Also you'll probably  
want to make your own copy of the error templates and substitute any  
js with fbjs.

Subject: [Facebooker-talk] Session Expired for Profile Publishing
Message-ID: <7a31ebb30804080506w75b97bf3we8d96e14527d4398@mail.gmail.com>

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 this error:

Facebooker::Session::SessionExpired (Session key invalid or no longer valid):
    /vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/parser.rb:386:in `process'
    /vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/parser.rb:15:in `parse'
    /vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/service.rb:13:in `post'
    /vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/session.rb:399:in `post'
    /vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/models/user.rb:158:in
`set_profile_fbml'


Using a publisher isn't helping.  Publisher code:

  def profile_update(user, session_user = user)
    send_as :profile
    from session_user
    recipients user
    profile render( :partial => 'profile',:assigns => { :profile_user => user })
  end

  ...

  MyPublisher.deliver_profile_update( @user )

Results in:

Facebooker::Session::SessionExpired (Session key invalid or no longer valid):
    /vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/parser.rb:386:in `process'
    /vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/parser.rb:15:in `parse'
    /vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/service.rb:13:in `post'
    /vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/session.rb:399:in `post'
    /vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/models/user.rb:71:in `populate'
    /vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/model.rb:35:in `uid'
    /app/models/publisher.rb:14:in `profile_update'
    ...

The only way I can get it to work is to start a new session and use
code as suggested in the comments here:
    <http://apps.facebook.com/facebooker_tutorial/messaging/mini_feed>

like this:

     MyPublisher.deliver_profile_update(@user.create_session.user)


That seems very wrong.  Why do I need to (1) separately store the
session_key (as in the link above) and (2) create a new session in
order to update the profile FBML?

Any thoughts?

The session expired messages normally mean that the user whose session  
you are using has uninstalled the application. Are you sure the  
session is valid?

Try calling session.user.name to make sure you can make API calls with  
that session.

The user is me!

I know I've got the application installed.

At the moment, I've resorted to creating new sessions before trying to
publish the profile FBML.  That works, but it seems excessive.

Are you using Active Record Stored sessions or the default cookie  
based ones?
I get all sorts of different session errors with cookies based  
sessions, none when using Active record storage.

Can't remember the orginal writer of this but put in your /lib to  
disable forgery protection while in facebook.

ActionController::RequestForgeryProtection.module_eval do
   alias :original_verify_authenticity_token :verify_authenticity_token

   def verify_authenticity_token(*args)
     if controller.params.include?('fb_sig') && controller.action ==

       # Pretend to call this before_filter.
       true
     else
       original_verify_authenticity_token(*args)
     end
   end

If you generate an application with Rails 2.0, it will put the  
following section in environment.rb

  # Your secret key for verifying cookie session data integrity.
   # If you change this key, all old sessions will become invalid!
   # Make sure the secret is at least 30 characters and all random,
   # no regular words or you'll be exposed to dictionary attacks.

  config.action_controller.session = {
     :session_key => '_app_session',
     :secret      => 'longstring'
   }

just uncomment the secret and you should be good to go.

Mike,
My secret is not commented out. Is there any way to test this stuff in  
script/console?

environment.rb:
# Your secret key for verifying cookie session data integrity.
  # If you change this key, all old sessions will become invalid!
  # Make sure the secret is at least 30 characters and all random,
  # no regular words or you'll be exposed to dictionary attacks.

  config.action_controller.session = {
    :session_key => '_yyy_session',
    :secret      => 'xxx'
  }

  # Use the database for sessions instead of the cookie-based default,
  # which shouldn't be used to store highly confidential information
  # (create the session table with 'rake db:sessions:create')
  config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store

I'm not sure what's up.
Thanks,
BJ Clark

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?

Actually, facebook_messages seems to work for me now.

Chalk it up to inexperience I guess.

Message-ID: <e8357a000804100640l7aa80831j3720305abd2f20b@mail.gmail.com>

Hi

I am trying to use facebooker with an existing website that already
has a model named 'User'.

I therefore created a model called BkUser for use with facebooker.
Also I have different controllers for all facebook requests.

I am using acts_as_authenticated for handling login etc for my website
and everytime a user is logged into my facebook app and tries to also
browse the website (not through  facebook), I see an error like

undefined method `find_by_id' for Facebooker::User:Class

Application Trace

lib/authenticated_system.rb:11:in `current_user'
lib/authenticated_system.rb:6:in `logged_in?'
app/controllers/main_controller.rb:14:in `index'

I am using sql session store for storing sessions. As I understand
instead of User model, Facebooker::User model is being queried but I
can't understand why.

Regards

One thing you may want to consider is using a combined user model.  This way
you can associate your regular (non-Facebook) users and their Facebook
account.  What's cool about that, is that if they take some action on your
regular web site, you can say update their Facebook profile box for your
app.  This is what we do, as do many sites.
To do so, one approach at least is to add columns to your regular user model
to store their Facebook persistent session and id, etc.  The caveat is that
you then need to add conditional logic to differentiate things at times.
 You also need to deal with synchronizing/associating their regular user
with their Facebook user, but honestly this is pretty easy.  In the app I'm
working on, when they add the Facebook app, it tells the user they need to
associate with their regular site account (we require this), and it sends
them over to our site, they login, and in that process, we store off their
Facebook infinite session key, and then redirect back to Facebook.  Again,
this is straight forward to do.

With that setup, then you can just have a before filter on your Facebook
controller(s) that check that the person has installed the app, by doing the
equivalent of User.find_by_facebook_session_id (or whatever you called the
column) or similar, etc.

The problem with this one is that for my app its not necessary for
people for facebook users to link their account (in fact most don't
even need to create accounts on my website). Another reason for not
doing it was that I plan to support opensocial soon and therefore did
not want to clutter up my user model too much. I have right now setup
an association linking the accounts (if linked)

I tried to dig deeper into the problem and I think the basic problem
is that whenever i do User.find, rails finds Facebooker::User class
before my regular User class. I tried doing ::User.find but that did
not help either. Any way to set a default search order?

I have a slightly OT doubt on this. I was trying to setup a login and
password form in my app that could be use to link accounts at any
point. I noticed that fbml does not have a password field for forms.
Is it mandatory to use iframe for this step in that case? Also can I
use ensure_application_is_installed_by_facebook_user  and other
facebooker methods in the iframe to get facebook uid and link with
account?

Thanks a lot for your response

Prateek

Subject: [Facebooker-talk] Custom Form Builder Help
Message-ID: <10490B86-CA02-406C-A3F4-100CEB1C6433@scidept.com>

Hello All,

We use a different custom form builder for our app, but I wanted to  
use facebooker's typeahead widget in side the other form builder.
I don't know much about form builders, but I created a file in lib/  
doing this:

http://pastie.caboo.se/178776

It works great, except that the id's and class names get messed up.
Instead of school_name, I get nilClass_name.
The other methods work fine however.

Here's the form:
<h1>New School</h1>
<%= show_flash %>
<% af_form_for :school, :url => schools_path, :html => {:method  
=> :post } do |f| %>
	<%= f.typeahead :name, @schools, "name", "name" %>
	<div class='label'>School Type</div>
	<%= f.radio_button :type, "College", :label => "College/ 
University", :span => 4, :last => true %>
	<%= f.radio_button :type, "HighSchool", :label => "High  
School", :span => 4, :last => true %>
	<%= f.hidden_field :nid %>
	<%= f.submit "Create School" %>
<% end -%>



Anyone have an idea of what I'm missing here?
Thanks,
BJ Clark

In my experience diving into these types of issues in the Rails source tends
to be a serious time sync.  Can you just change your User class to Member or
something like that.

You can do password fields with the fb:editor-custom tag.

<fb:editor-custom label="TravelersTable Password">
    <%= password_field_tag 'member[password]', nil %>
</fb:editor-custom>

I think there is a helper for it.

You can call those methods.  They will cause redirects to happen if the user
is not authenticated  so you will want to special case them.

Dave,
@schools is my collection of schools which I'm providing to populate  
the typeahead. @school is just a School.new.

Dave,
The other form elements all get it correctly. "school_type, school_nid".
That's what has me so puzzled.

Hi David

Thanks for the reply (and also for the excellent facebooker_tutorial
on facebook). I am afraid things just got a bit more complicated for
me.

> In my experience diving into these types of issues in the Rails source tends

> something like that.

On some more inspection, I found out the following

1. If I start my webserver and browse the website, everything works fine
2. If i access the facebook app and then try to browse the website, I
start getting error for all models that I have. For example, I have a
group model and I do a Group.find() to load  a page and I get an error
on Facebooker::Group:Class. Looks like everything is being referenced
as Facebooker::

Could this be related to any facebooker setting? I have a feeling that
the problem is not about two User class but about everything being
referenced in Facebooker module

Thanks again for helping me out

Regards
Prateek

I use the restful_authentication plugin (which I think borrows from
acts_as_authenticated), have a model named "User" and use the facebooker
plugin without these issues, so I am fairly confident they can be resolved.

Are you sure you're not doing a stray "include" of the Facebooker module
somewhere?  That's kind of what it sounds like. AuthenticatedSystem is
designed to be used via an 'include' in application.rb, but the facebooker
plugin is not.

Also, FWIW, I did end up creating an evil
twin<http://errtheblog.com/posts/67-evil-twin-plugin>class of
authenticated_system so that I could rewrite how login_from_session
works, and allow it to auto-create facebook users if one is present.  If you
think that code would be useful to you, let me know and I can send it to
you.  I don't think it would help with this particular problem, though.

Hi Tom

Thanks a ton

I was actually doing an 'include Facebooker' in one of the models
where i wanted to do 'include Facebooker::Helper' to use some of the
facebooker helpers to create some feeds etc for my application

I am only slowly and painfully realizing the importance of having some
kind of test coverage. In a rush to write more code I have been
skipping tests and lately it has been coming back to bite me :)

Thanks again

Regards
Prateek

I would really like to see a full stack trace on this. Also, what  
version of Rails are you running?

Rails has some problems with class names existing in two namespaces.  
It can sometimes cause the problems you are seeing. That said, I don't  
see these issues on any of my apps either.

Yes, all of the restful Rails methods work under Facebook.

It may be that the facebook_form_for doesn't support them, but a raw  
form_for does. If facebook_form_for is giving you trouble, let me know  
and I will try to get it fixed.

Thanks for the reply Mike. I understand there are issues with link_to_remote
on facebook. I was trying to do this similar to:
<%=link_to_remote(image_tag("trash-red-24.png", {:border => 0, :title =>
'Delete Membership'}),
                :url => membership_path(memberships), :confirm => 'Are you
sure?', :method => :delete ) %>

Been reading your lastest book, very much appreciate your efforts it's been
a great resource.

Thanks  --ken s.

Here's a real simple little test I put together based on this thread

--simon

   def test_infinite_session
     if params['id'].nil? then raise "no FB ID given" end
     facebook_uid = params['id']
     # do we have UID in our database

How can I pass :canvas => false in remote_form_for tag with a nested object
url?  Since nested_url requires parent object and I put it side the url
options not sure how to specify both.  I've tried various permutations of
form parameters but can't find a way to make it work.  Any suggestions woudl
greatly be appreciated.

  Example of what I'm trying:
   <% remote_form_for(:comment, Comment.new, :url =>

Message-ID: <e96027860804201120l3a3910c1t2355814693cc349f@mail.gmail.com>

I apologize if this isn't relevant necessarily to facebooker, but I'm
trying to figure out what everyone is using as a best practice for
setting up test apps & test accounts.

Basic question - how can I use Facebook test user accounts to add an
app that is in Developer Mode (the box is checked in the App Settings
that says "Check this box to only allow developers of the application
to install the application.")?

I followed the instructions from this post:
http://codeintensity.blogspot.com/2008/02/testing-facebook-applications-with-test.html

And it didn't work... the application disappeared completely from the
original owner's "My Apps" listings after adding the test user as a
developer and changing the test user to be in the Facebook Test Users
Network.

The wiki (http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php?title=Test_Accounts)
has a ton of complaints about this problem - with seemingly no
resolution, but I'm wondering if anyone has figured it out... or if
I'm missing something.

Do I have to develop an app in non-Developer Mode if I want to use
test accounts?

Thanks in advance!
Dustin

Dustin,

You can't use Facebook test accounts in development mode. Test  
accounts end up being relatively worthless, as they are so limited.

You can add several accounts to the Developers list which will then
let you add the application.

The key to it (I wrote the below referenced blog entry), is to add the app
to the test accounts before they are test accounts.  But, honestly, things
on FB may have changed since I wrote that (yes, they change fast!).  What I
found was, I add my app to my "regular" FB account.  I set it so only devs
can see it, etc.  I then make some "test" accounts, but don't actually use
the URL that makes them a test account yet.  I then have all of them add the
app (make those test accounts developers of the app first).  Finally, when
that's all set up, you can make them test accounts.
The whole test user thing on FB is pretty bad, actually, it's terrible to be
honest.  They put all sorts of limits and weird behaviors on it, and it
makes it hard to use, as well as makes it far less useful because you can't
interact with those accounts as well.

NOte, if you already made test accounts, you can "undo" that by removing
them from the test group/network (can't recall precisely).  So, if you need,
undo them, then add the app, then make them test accounts again.

You guys didn't hear this from me, but you can just make fake users  
that aren't "test" users.
Turns out, with like, however millions of people, a few can sneak by.

Just don't create hundreds or thousands to inflate your install #s.

Actually, even FB's docs essentially indicate that that is ok, and that
designating it a test account is more of a way of ensuring your account
won't get nuked for reasons they deem ungood(tm!).

BEWARE!

I just converted a test account back to a regular account and added the user
as a friend, then a developer, then added the app to the previously  marked
test account.  When that process was done everything seemed fined so I
changed it back to a test account.  When I did that my application
disappeared. It's gone under my personal developers tab as well as everyone
else that is a real developer.  Seems I need in touch with Facebook support
as I can't access it at all since it was in developer mode.

 To convert test account from Test Account Status you need to Leave the
Facebook Platform Developer Test Accounts network under the test Account ->
Networks Tab.  Once you do that as Chris suggested you can make the test
user your friend, then add it to the developers list and add the app.

I don't find it obvious how to do this, can you give me a hint?

Also, I've found another way to make testing easier. I now have two  
"apps" on FB driven by the same source base. One runs off my own  
laptop with dynamic dns, the other off the server. I automatically  
change the FB api key and secret key by using ERB in facebooker.yml. See

Facebooker.yml allows you to specify different keys for different  
environments. That would probably be even easier.

In terms of the error handling, you can do the following:

class ActionController::Base
   protected

     def response_code_for_rescue(exception)
       "200"
     end
end

Hey Simon,
I recently posted an article on just this topic; how to configure  
"Custom Environment for Facebook Development" on my blog:
http://locusfoc.us/2008/4/18/custom-environment-for-facebook-development

This is pretty rudimentary stuff but it is helpful if you are  
developing with more than one developer and your application has both  
html and fbml views.

Hey, anyone going to railsconf and want to get beer? (or other  
favorite beverage)

I thought it would be cool to meet some of the people in person on  
this list.

If there is interest, I can try to find a time and spot for us to meet.

thanks
Joel

Yes, I'd be interested.  Lots of great places to go in PDX.  From the
convention center there isn't much to walk to, but if you hop on the (free)
MAX train, you can pop right into downtown (and there's even Rock Bottom
Brewery right next to a MAX stop :)  I actually don't really drink beer (a
sin given I live in Oregon), but I drink other stuff, so I'm there...

Even better, just store the session key:

	def store_session(session_key)
	  if self.session_key != session_key
			update_attribute(:session_key,session_key)
		end
	end

   	
   def facebook_session

       returning Facebooker::Session.create do |session|
         session.secure_with!(session_key,facebook_id,1.day.from_now)
     end
   end

Hi all, 

So I am trying to understand how to integrate a facebook application into my
web application.  Mike has given me some good pointers.  But I am at a point
where I am rummaging through the code and have stumbled upon a problem that
I am not sure how to resolve.  

The issue might be related to this fix:
http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/facebooker-talk/2008-March/000471.html

but I'm not sure.

So let me describe my scenario. 

I have an existing web application.  I want to integrate a Facebook
application into it in such a way that after a demo of this we may want to
pull the facebook app stuff into it's own web application.  

So to start I have added the plugin.  And discovered the following
dependency in the tests:
Rails_integration_tests have a 'require "ruby-debug"' statement in it.  I
didn't have this gem installed and when I removed the require statement and
the tests all passed except for one (which causes a warning in Ruby and an
error in JRuby).  A question I have here is ... is it worth pointing out the
dependency on ruby-debug to this list? (I believe it's a native gem)

Next I setup my application to use the proper session store. 
A quick jump to my app's homepage and all still looks well.

Next I setup my facebooker.yml file.  And the problems start for my web
app's non-facebook pages.  When I goto my homepage.  The style information
fails to load.  This is due to the fact that all my resources are being
referenced with a URL that looks like my callback_url.
(http://ip/jay).

If I undo the fix referenced in the URL above, my problem goes away, but I
don't want to undo that fix without understanding the implications.  Being
new to using facebooker, does anyone have a couple of paragraphs they can
share on how the routing works for facebooker?  

Any help would be super appreciated! 

Jay

PS:  I'll be at railsconf also and would be interested in joining for a beer
if you'll have me :)

Yes, it IS a sin given that you live in oregon :P  On the other hand, I'd
love to come out with you guys as well
There are a ton of great bars/restaurants.  I live about 15 minutes from
downtown by public transit and I'll be at the
conf as well, I look forward to putting some faces with the names.

Jay, can you tell us what your callback url is set to?

In general, we expect the callback url to be the same hostname as the  
rest of your application.

Mike,

Do you want the specific callback?  

It's http://hostname/jay  (or do you want the real callback).

Let me describe my setup a little. 

I am doing this Facebook application for work.  Myself and one other guy are
working on the application.  For firewall and security reasons IT has given
us a computer with an external ip (with only port 80 open and lot's of
protocols blocked).  This computer will ultimately be running the
application.  However for development I would like to get facebook to hit my
computer.  So what I did (and if you have a better suggestion... I'm all
eyes) is take Apache and setup Mod_rewrite to forward requests to my dev box
that have the pattern, http://hostname/jay(/*) and requests that have the
pattern http://hostname/kevin(/*) (kevin's my coworker) forward requests to
his dev box.  We each have our own sample application (is there a better way
to co develop a facebook application?).

I didn't realize the restriction that facebooker is imposing with the
callback_url but in hindsight it makes sense. 

In "production" the issue I am having won't happen as I could just map the
callback url to the IP. But from a development scenario it would have been
nice.  

Thanks!
Jay

Check out http://tunnlr.com

It's a service that we built to allow easy to setup ssh tunneling. As  
long as your employer doesn't block ssh tunneling, it makes  
development really easy.

It's not quite ready for release yet, but most of the remaining issues  
are UI related.

Message-ID: <e96027860804261922h4400ddd0hd733364bbc5190@mail.gmail.com>

Hey All,

I can't get facebook_session to return anything but nil.

I'm following along in Mike Mangino's pragmatic programmer's book
about creating invitations - and adding info to a profile...

There is a part where we are supposed to grab the @user to be able to
set the profile_fbml on it.
@user = facebook_session.user
@user.profile_fbml = render_to_string(:partial=>"profile",
:locals=>{:from=>params[:from]})

Anyway, it never worked for me... I did an @user.inspect and it's just
nil.  facebook_session doesn't return anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
Dustin

Do you have the facebook_session method defined?

def facebook_session
   @facebook_session ||=
  returning Facebooker::Session.create do |session|
    session.secure_with!(session_key,facebook_id,1.day.from_now)
   end
end

Thanks Ken,

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that facebook_session is being
defined on page 50 in the book so that it can be accessed in the
Model.  In my case, I'm just trying to call it from the controller...
so I should be able to call facebook_session in the controller ( I
think)?

Any other ideas?

Hey Dave, I'm definitely calling
ensure_application_is_installed_by_facebook_user in application.rb -
so if I hit the server directly (e.g. localhost:3000), it sends me to
a "You've already installed this app" page.

Anyway, thanks Dave, but it must be something else... any other ideas?

Thanks again for all the help.
Dustin

Hey Dustin,

This is sounding a little familiar.  I am wondering if someone the
facebook_session in your sessions table( you are using db sessions right? )
doesn't have a user for some reason.   Can you blow away your session table
and see if things get better?

And also something isn't making sense here,  you say that facebook_session
doesn't return anything?  But them you say @user is nil?  If
facebook_session was nil then you would blow up before setting @user, right?

Dave

Thanks Dave,

I deleted all the content in my session table - didn't seem to change
much, but we'll see.

Anyway, I noticed that when I hit the new action with a value in
params[:from], I get this error in my server log:

Filter chain halted as
[#<ActionController::Filters::ClassMethods::SymbolFilter:0x274f3e0
@filter=:ensure_application_is_installed_by_facebook_user>]
rendered_or_redirected.

Here is what my "invitations/new" action looks like:
  def new
    if params[:from]
      @user = facebook_session.user
      @user.profile_fbml = render_to_string(:partial=>"profile",
:locals=>{:from=>params[:from]})
    end
    @from_user_id = facebook_session.user.to_s
  end

For the record, I don't have +protect_from_forgery :secret+ set to
anything in application_controller.rb

any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks again for all the help...

Dustin

The key is this line:

[#<ActionController::Filters::ClassMethods::SymbolFilter:0x274f3e0
@filter=:ensure_application_is_installed_by_facebook_user>]
rendered_or_redirected.

That means that your Rails app doesn't think the user has the  
application installed. Can you paste in the params that Rails is  
receiving? I would also double check and make sure that you have the  
right API Key and Secret Key in your Facebooker.yml

I'll take a look at that - but isn't the point of the exercise in the
book to get the user to install the app?

I'm following along in your book and having User A send User B an
invitation.  User B clicks to accept the invitation and install the
app... but it can't set profile_fbml yet because User B doesn't have
the app installed...

What am I missing there?

Thanks for your help!!!

Here is the entry from the server log, including params:

When user B clicks to install the application, they should be  
redirected to a page asking them to install the application. That's  
what the "ensure_application_is_installed_by_facebook_user" does. Is  
User B not asked to install the application?

Yes, User B is definitely asked to install the application - but it
never sends the correct content (the _profile.erb partial) to the
@user.profile_fbml

Again, here's the new action in the invitations controller:

  def new
    if params[:from]
      @user = facebook_session.user

      @user.profile_fbml = render_to_string(:partial=>"profile",
:locals=>{:from=>params[:from]})
    end
    @from_user_id = facebook_session.user.to_s
  end

Thanks,
dustin

Hey Mike,

OK, so User A sends User B an invitation... User B receives the
invitation.  Inside the invitation, there is a button to add the app.
Under the button, is the following code:

onclick="return click_add_platform_app(47658, 14802292125,
0,1191078019,1,'MyAppName',
'http://apps.facebook.com/my_app/invitations/new?from=1191078019');"

You'll notice that it's going to direct the user to /invitations/new -
with the params[:from] set.  So, in the new action, it should hit
these two lines ( these are from the new action):

@user = facebook_session.user
@user.profile_fbml = render_to_string(:partial=>"profile",
:locals=>{:from=>params[:from]})

However, it never even gets there because the user hasn't added the app yet.

I'm following along in the book and I feel like I've followed this
section exactly - but either I'm missing something or the example has
an error... either way, I do appreciate the help everyone is giving on
this.

Dustin

Subject: [Facebooker-talk] Best way to integrate a plugin/adapter for
	Facebooker?
Message-ID: <b0e948460804292354r3e75914cib35c61c3a18e90b@mail.gmail.com>

Expanding on Dave Clement's Bebo adapter I have completed an adapter
for Ringside. ringsidenetworks.org

It's overriding many of Facebooker's methods.  Right now I have the
file in RAILS_ROOT/lib and it works fine, but I'm thinking it will be
more portable as a plugin. The problem is, I need to make sure it
either gets loaded after Facebooker, or I rewrite the adapter so the
code is not dependent on load order.

Do you all have any suggestions on the best way to implement it?

Just for the record, I'm an idiot - this was likely working all along
- I was looking in the Mini-Feed section to see the profile_fbml
update information, not the profile area.  Sorry for the runaround
everyone... I'm learning ;-)
