[Facebooker-talk] Running multiple FB apps off the same Rails app

[David Clements]

We actually just added support for Bebo that should also support multiple
rails apps in one instance.  I tested it once in my dev environment.

Please try this in you facebooker.yml where foo is some unique prefix for
the config:

foo_api_key: f688cbe01c465d71e4f9bed26722309a
foo_secret_key: SECRETKEY
foo_canvas_page_name: app_canvas_page_name
foo_adapter: FacebookAdapter
foo_callback_url: http://mycoolfacebookapp.com

I think it requires the same callback_url as the other app, but I don't
remember if it can be different. If this gets a lot of use was can make it a
little cleaner.

Dave
