Subject: [Facebooker-talk] Friendship and cie
Message-ID: <FE0DE860-B20F-49B9-8599-2E6F769983F4@imeuble.info>

Hi,

I was adding a new feature in Facebooker : mutual_friends_between. A  
good usage could be to find mutual friends between a user_id and a  
logged in user :

	fb_session.mutual_friends_between(519798494, current_user)

Of course, this method rely on the check_friendship method and the  
implementation in the parser of `facebook.friends.areFriends` API call.

I wanted to know why does the parser sort ids when building the array  
of hashes ?

         memo[[Integer(hash['uid1']), Integer(hash['uid2'])].sort] =  
are_friends?(hash['are_friends'])
												^^^^
It result that depending of the ids (which are totaly unpredictable),  
we are given with a randomly ordered list...
For exemple, if facebook returns me :

	<friends_areFriends_response xmlns="http://api.facebook.com/1.0/"  
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-
	instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://api.facebook.com/1.0/ http://api.facebook.com/1.0/facebook.xsd 
" list="true">
	  <friend_info>
	    <uid1>105925</uid1>
	    <uid2>785637999</uid2>
	    <are_friends>0</are_friends>
	  </friend_info>
	  <friend_info>
	    <uid1>506773312</uid1>
	    <uid2>785637999</uid2>
	    <are_friends>0</are_friends>
	  </friend_info>
	  <friend_info>
	    <uid1>508625501</uid1>
	    <uid2>785637999</uid2>
	    <are_friends>0</are_friends>
	  </friend_info>
	  <friend_info>
	    <uid1>1233961883</uid1>
	    <uid2>785637999</uid2>
	    <are_friends>1</are_friends>
	  </friend_info>
	  <friend_info>
	    <uid1>1119061733</uid1>
	    <uid2>785637999</uid2>
	    <are_friends>0</are_friends>
	  </friend_info>
	</friends_areFriends_response>

It will result :
	
	{[508625501, 785637999]=>false,[785637999, 1119061733]=>false,  
[105925, 785637999]=>false,[506773312,
   	785637999]=>false,[785637999, 1233961883]=>true}

Here, uid2 is sometimes the first sometimes the second element even if  
Facebook return it always at the same place.
It would be better to have it the same way facebook give it to us :

	{[508625501, 785637999]=>false,[1119061733, 785637999]=>false,  
[105925, 785637999]=>false,[506773312,
	785637999]=>false,[1233961883, 785637999]=>true}

So unless there is a good reason that i miss, i strongly suggest not  
to sort ids.
What do you think ?

In the same time, I have fixed the check_friendships method to allow  
it to compare multiple couples of ids.
I think we should change tests to take unordered ids and improve the  
mock to take care of arguments.

All this is commited in my fork of the facebooker git repository :  
git://github.com/meuble/facebooker.git

Subject: [Facebooker-talk] Facebooker scaffolding errors
Message-ID: <8F96E010-7A12-4F76-977D-FD89DBF2A51D@hawaii.edu>

Hi everyone,

My development team is using facebooker to develop a simple  
questionnaire for distribution via facebook, as part of a research  
project we're involved with. In order to store survey responses for  
research purposes, we elected to scaffold survey_responses and then  
work from there. As part of our setup, we modified routes.rb as follows:

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
  map.resources :survey_responses, :conditions => {:canvas => true}
  # The priority is based upon order of creation: first created ->  
highest priority.
  .....
  map.root :controller => "survey_responses", :action => 'new'

Once we turned on the server and visited http://apps.facebook.com/stem_survey 
  two errors surfaced in facebook:

" urlexception unable to parse URL /http://apps.facebooker.com/stem_survey//survey_responses/new 
"

and a second error related to fb:editor.

Inside new.fmbl.erb:

<% facebook_form_for(@survey_response) do |f| %>

we changed to

<% facebook_form_for(:survey_response, at survey_response,:url => '/ 
stem_survey/survey_responses/create', :labelwidth => '75', :width =>  
'500') do |f| %>

Which seemed to correct the fb:editor problems, but still caused  
incorrect url parsing upon creation of a survey record. To resolve  
this, we changed the survey_responses_controller to:

  respond_to do |format|
      if @survey_response.save
        flash[:notice] = 'SurveyResponse was successfully created.'
        format.html { redirect_to(@survey_response) }
        format.fbml { redirect_to('http://apps.facebook.com/stem_survey/survey_responses/'+ at survey_response.id.to_s) 
  }
        format.xml  { render :xml => @survey_response, :status  
=> :created, :location => @survey_response }

Is there a more elegant solution to using scaffolding in a facebooker- 
based application?

Thanks in advance,

Did you correctly fill the Facebooker config file ?
The canvas_page_name has to be the name of the application registered  
in facebook, without any trailing shlash. For you I guess it should be  
'stem_survey'.

>        format.fbml { redirect_to('http://apps.facebook.com/stem_survey/survey_responses/'+ at survey_response.id.to_s)

If the canvas_page_name field is correctly set, you should be able to  
do : redirect_to(@survey_response, :canvas => true)

HTH,

We are trying to write an app that has the ability to interface with more
than 2 user platforms, i.e Facebook, My Space or Bebo and a 3rd Party
Interface. I understand Facebook Connect has the ability to take user
profiles and such to a 3rd Party application but if I wanted to try and
write things in an iFrame how would I access Facebook User data or another
sites User data? Thanks --ken

we removed the trailing slash:

canvas_page_name: http://apps.facebook.com/stem_survey

There is a set_facebook_session filter that will try to set the  
session without a redirect. Does that work for you?

Sorry, try looking at the value of facebook_session after calling  
set_facebook_session. It is a filter that should make the  
facebook_session variables available.

Hi Sam,

Soory for the delay... you may have fix your problem now.
But still, i give you some answers, they could be interesting for  
others to.

Le 3 nov. 08 ? 21:35, Sam Joseph a ?crit :
> we removed the trailing slash:
> canvas_page_name: http://apps.facebook.com/stem_survey

The canvas page name is not an url. It's juste a name.
As I told you before, for your app, it's :

	canvas_page_name: stem_survey


>>>       format.fbml { redirect_to('http://apps.facebook.com/stem_survey/survey_responses/'+ at survey_response.id.to_s) 
>>>  }
>>

Here is an example :

	# in config/root.rb
	map.resources :messages

	# in script/console
	>> app.messages_url()
	=> "http://www.example.com/messages"
	>> app.messages_url(:canvas => true)
	=> "http://apps.new.facebook.com/alisterapptrois/messages"
	>> @message = Message.find(:first)
	=> #<Message id: 29, user_id: 1278968509, body: "coucou les gens",  
page_uid: 26149797103, created_at: "2008-10-16 13:59:04", updated_at:  
"2008-10-16 13:59:04">
	>> app.message_url(@message, :canvas => true)
	=> "http://apps.new.facebook.com/canvas_page_name/messages/29"
	>> app.message_url(@message, :canvas => false)
	=> "http://www.example.com/messages/29"
	>> app.message_url(@message)
	=> "http://www.example.com/messages/29"

	# in app/controller/hello_controller
	def foo
		@message = Message.find(:first)
		redirect_to( message_url(@message, :canvas => true))
	end

Subject: [Facebooker-talk] Unusual Bebo invitations occurances???
Message-ID: <cb38fdec0811101521p1f944be8y682ba5c7535b518b@mail.gmail.com>

hello,

I am using the updated facebooker with bebo support. I am running into
problems though using invitations with bebo.  The problems I am running into
with bebo, when using the invitations new controller action with the
invitations/new.fbml.erb, and inside the new.fbml.erb file, calling
invitations_url within the fb_multi_friend_request does not recognize when
to call the invitations index action when pressing skip.  Instead when
pressing skip, it calls the invitations/create action which causes errors.
here is the code I am using, and I should note it is from the Developing
facebook platform development with rails book.

class InvitationsController < PilotController

  def index
    redirect_to root_url
  end

  def new
    if params[:from]
      @sent_from_id = 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

  def create
    @sent_to_ids = params[:ids]
  end
end
 app/views/invitations/new.fbml.erb

<% fb_multi_friend_request("Test this app" ,
        "Invite your friends to test this app" ,
        invitations_url) do %>
        Test this app with your friends!
        <%= fb_req_choice("Test this app!" ,
        root_url(:from=>@from_user_id, :canvas=>true))%>
<% end %>

app/views/invitations/create.fbml.erb

<% for id in @sent_to_ids%>
  <%= fb_profile_pic id %> <%= fb_name id %><br />
<% end %>

app/views/invitations/_profile.fbml.erb
<% if @sent_from_id %>
  I was sent here by <fb:name uid='<%= @sent_from_id %>' /><br />
<% end %>
I am <fb:name uid='<%= current_user.facebook_id %>' /><br />

The following errors exist when following this flow of events:  After
navigating to invitations/new and pressing skip, for some reason bebo tries
to call the create method and tries to set @sent_to_ids, even though it
should be recognizing the index action.  When performing this in facebook,
everything works as expected and after clicking skip, the user is redirected
to the invitations index action. Here are the errors when doing this in
bebo:

NoMethodError in Invitations#create

Showing invitations/create.fbml.erb where line #1 raised:

You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.each

Extracted source (around line #1):

1: <% for id in @sent_to_ids%>
2: <= fb_profile_pic id %> <= fb_name id >
3: < end %>

?-?-?-?-?-?

I am also receiving problems during this flow of events as well. Navigate to
the invite page, select users to invite, followed by deselecting all of the
users, then clicking skip. When the skip action is performed, for some
reason the params[:ids] have been stored and the create action is called,
showing the create.fbml.erb page with a list of users that have been
selected, even though skip was called.  The invitation is not sent though.

Basically pressing skip in bebo calls the create action and stores any
selected and deselected users in the @sent_to_ids variable, even though it
should be calling the index action.

What is the best way to handle this inconsistency so pressing skip works as
expected when using bebo, so it recognizes that skip should route to
invitations/index action?  Is there another api call rather than the
fb_multi_friend_request where I could explicitly define when pressing skip,
or pressing invite?  How have others handled this?

Hey,

I'm trying to set up some test for a few controllers but I'm running into a
error while testing. The tes is as follows:

def test_index
  facebook_get :index
  assert_response :success
  assert_template 'index'
end

And the error that I get comes from the 'facebook_get :index' and is:

Facebooker::Session::SessionExpired: Session key invalid or no longer valid

Any ideas?

Thanks,
James

Message-ID: <cb38fdec0811110136na652750p1ac2d962f926cd96@mail.gmail.com>

I am new to rails, and was wondering if there would be unknown consequences
for setting the user tables primary key to being the facebook_id of a user.
I have implemented this funcionality, and everything is working fine.  All
associations etc.  What are the risks if there are any of overridding the id
with facebook_id?  Why would I not want to do this?  I did this because, it
seems easier to look up a user by their facebook id rather than their id to
get their facebook id in associated table.  Meaning if I have an association
with a user has_many comments, and the comments has a user_id column.  I
think it is easiers looking up things with facebook_ids rather than ids, as
these can get confusing.  just one less thing to worry about.

Does it matter what the order of insertions to the database for creating new
Users?

Any insight would be wonderful.

Graciously,

Joe

The typical reason for using a surrogate key is to guard against  
changes. In this case, there is a very low probability that Facebook  
will change the id of a user, so that's not a big deal.

What might be a bigger deal is supporting other platforms. If you  
choose to use the facebook_id as the primary key, what would happen if  
you wanted to add BEBO support?

Not sure if this will help but I have had to special case the invite page.
I am not remembering why but I have this code.

<fb:request-form action="<%= bebo_request? ? "social_network/dashboard" :
"dashboard"  %>"

I am running on facebook and bebo.

If you are doing anything that involves the API, you might get the  
error. What does the stack trace look like?

Subject: [Facebooker-talk] Facebooker config goes away in production
Message-ID: <1226424649.8707.16.camel@localhost>

Hi all,

I've been having some issues with facebooker in production.  The server
is a CentOs box with thin v1.0.0, ruby v1.8.6-287 & frozen rails 2.1.2.
I just updated to the latest rev of facebooker this morning (for
action_links, nice), but we've been pretty up to date even before now.

Is anyone else deployed on a similar setup?

The bug is facebooker's configuration goes away.  This usually happens
after a few hours of being up.  The only theory I have right now is that
thin is reloading classes after they get "stale" and overwriting
configuration data.  It looks like the "Facebooker" constant itself
becomes a hash (see the last exception below).

Sometimes this results in a literal config missing error:

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

vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/session.rb, line 529
vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/session.rb:529:in `report_inability_to_find_key'

vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/rails/controller.rb:229:in `ensure_application_is_installed_by_facebook_user'
----------

and sometimes in a variety of other exceptions:

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

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

----------

vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/rails/controller.rb:115:in `new_facebook_session'
-----------

Mike or David, does it make sense that reloading the facebooker classes
would blow away the config?

I'm doing this at the moment. The biggest thing I was concerned about
was the potential for facebook user IDs to be 64bit numbers. (I can't
remember the official Facebook stance on ID size but I'm pretty sure
they weren't ruling out 64bit IDs). Rails migrations don't seem to
support 64bit values (on mysql at least) out-of-the-box.

I worked around the issue by patching ActiveRecord. I added a snippet
(attached) to environment.rb based on the following post and all seems
fine to date:
http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/4422

Use column type :int64_pk for your users table and :int64 for any
foreign key columns.

For Mysql, just use :integer, :limit=>21

That forces the use of bigints. Facebook is using 64bit user ids.

As of Rails 2.1 64 bit ints are supported in MySQL migrations.  
Formerly you needed to use a plugin to get this working in MySQL.

Rails 2.1.0 had some problems with the implementation, but in 2.1.1 I  
believe they have fixed the implementation to work the same as  
Postgres, so using :limit => 8 gets you bigint in mysql.

So something like this, should work under Rails 2.1.1 with no patching  
or plugins necessary:
       t.integer :facebook_id, :limit => 8, :null=> false

You'll also need to handle the fact that ids in Rails are automatically
incremented so when a user uninstalls the app you won't be able to remove
their account (perhaps just mark it as 'disabled' in your application or
some similar approach) so when they decide to re-install the app all you
have to do is set it to 'enabled'

I use this migration (which makes use of the environment patch I
posted previously) to ensure you don't get auto-incrementing IDs. They
wouldn't make much sense when facebook are providing the ID!

      create_table :users, :id => false do |t|
          t.column :id, :int64_pk, :null => false # the facebook uid
          t.column :created_at, :datetime
          t.column :last_seen, :datetime
      end

You don't actually need the id field. If you just use :id=>false on  
your migration you can set the primary key field of your model to  
using the primary_key method. For example

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
   primary_key :facebook_id
end

That let's you use an intention revealing name.

Subject: [Facebooker-talk] facebook_url_helper breaking link_to in
	actionmailer
Message-ID: <1226438870.8707.25.camel@localhost>

Hey all,

The new facebook_url_helper code relies on request_comes_from_facebook?
for link_to and other common helpers.  request_comes_from_facebook? is
only defined when in a normal view.

I needed the attached patch to fix my emails.  It's not really a pretty
solution, I just change all:

  !request_comes_from_facebook?

to

  !(request_comes_from_facebook? rescue false)

this is on [7d46417a7dabb0772c0757b63fe5374ae96f34f1].

Even better, if you can create a failing test for it, I'll work on a  
fix.

Subject: [Facebooker-talk] Multiple FB Apps Single Rails Instance?
Message-ID: <9C37C515-12AF-4ACB-A9C3-050F080F0AE1@gmail.com>

Hey Folks-

First off thanks for a great library! We've been building apps with  
Facebooker for a while now and it really eases some of the Facebook  
madness.

Secondly, I'm getting tired of setting up a Rails stack for each FB  
app. Since some of these apps are small and focused I'd really like to  
have a single controller represent a FB app.

I've been looking over Facebooker and have some ideas on how to hack  
it to get this functionality but was wondering if the group had any  
suggestions or pointers for this sort of functionality?

Thanks-
MJ

Mike, you said specifying :limit =>21 should allow support for 64 bit
integers?  this did not work in rails 2.1.2, as i had to do the following to
get a mysql bigint(20) to work in my users table:

t.column :facebook_id, 'bigint', :null => false

Upon running a migration, I get a successful bigint(20) column in my mysql
database.  with :limit =>21, i was getting an integer column in mysql.

I was required to have a bigint column when using facebooker_authentication
and integrating with Bebo.  I was receiving duplicate key errors within
facebooker_authentication model.rb file in the following method:

      def for_facebook_id(facebook_id,facebook_session=nil)
            returning find_or_create_by_facebook_id(facebook_id) do |user|
                unless facebook_session.nil?
                    user.store_session(facebook_session.session_key)
                end
            end
        end

I was getting a Mysql::Error: duplicate key entry on returning
find_or_create_by_facebook_id(facebook_id) when integrating with Bebo.
After changing the column in mysql to bigint, everything is now working as
expected.

Would you recommend against setting 'bigint' directly in the migration file,
and if so, what would you suggest, and is bigint(20) enough, or should it be
bigint(64)?

You can start by adding something like this to your YAML file

  foo_api_key: SOMEOTHERAPIKEY
  foo_secret_key: SECRET
  foo_canvas_page_name: supermeemcloud
  foo_callback_url: http://localhost:3000
  foo_adapter: FacebookAdapter

Where foo is any unique string.

Then I think you will have to do something with routes.  I don't know if
anyone is doing this in production.  But it should get you 90% of the way
there.

Message-ID: <cb38fdec0811120053i4b8e13abkf86e281c9ba380b4@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,

I am getting the following errors while on bebo, but with facebook
everything works as it should.  When at the console I try making an api
call, and it does not work.  Am I not calling the bebo api right?  My
assumption is that this should work, unless I need to somehow pass in the
fb_sig_network params somewhere.

Anyone have any ideas what to do?

Another note, it seems that the sessions dont work in the console but they
do in controller and view code.
Is there a reason why this is?

Anyone know of any good libraries for making an opensocial app with ruby on

everyone doing for porting their apps to opensocial?

Thanks

Subject: [Facebooker-talk] javascript help
Message-ID: <cb38fdec0811121656q35d0a009s7760548b513cd58e@mail.gmail.com>

First off, I have no experience with javascript.

Below is the html from an input submit.  I am having problems in my
controller with params[:ids] being set when it should not be getting
set when clicking the input type submit value="Next".  This
params[:ids] should only be set when clicking the input type
value="Send Message".
The problem exists when selecting a list of users, and then removing
them from the selection before submitting.  If this is the html that
is in a
facebook canvas page, how could I write javascript that sets the
parameters of the form to be empty, so that the parameters set
params[:ids] in the controller to
nil if the input submit value="Next" is clicked?  I figure I could do
a check in two ways: one by checking the value of the input type being
submitted,
and if the value is Next, set the parameters to empty,and the other by
checking the name of the input type, and if there is no name, then set
parameters to empty.
How would I approach getting this problem solved with javascript.  I
am only resorting to javascript because I have found no other work
around.

<div class="buttons">
<input type="submit" name="nice" value="Send Message"/>
<input type="submit" value="Next"/>
</div>

Graciously,

J Durden

I've been spending some of my free time working on a DataMapper based
Ruby/Merb plugin based off on the dm-rest-adapter for OpenSocial.

So look at creating your own Ruby based REST client that you can eventually
turn into a Rails plugin.  OpenSocial uses OAuth to authenticate REST
clients.

OAuth clients in Ruby:
http://stakeventures.com/articles/2008/02/23/developing-oauth-clients-in-ruby

REST: http://rest-client.heroku.com/rdoc/

That should be enough to get you started with your own plugin.

I am also experiencing issues with Incorrect Signatures.  The signatures
that Facebook are passing are of a strange format.  For example:

2:t2lkRVehtrhJWvEMUlny_g__:86400:1226696400-213412341

It seems like a lot of people are experiencing this problem (
http://forum.developers.facebook.com/viewtopic.php?id=24251).

Did Facebook change the format of the session key?

Looks like the Facebook Platform Team is aware of this issue.  You can track
the bug here:

I'm seeing it on both of my production apps.  The only quick fix I  
found is to comment out a couple lines in
verify_signature (vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/rails/ 
controller.rb).  I'm trying to find out what's going on.

Anyone have any good ideas on how to use ensure_authenticated_to_facebook
before_filters in a canvas iframe application that also has external
interface?  I had been checking controller.format == "fbml" in an fbml
canvas app but looking at perhaps migrating to full iframe and having some
challenges figuring out authenitcation.  Would appreciate if anyone knows of
any resources haven't found to much via google that I could apply via ruby
on rails.

        Thanks --ken s.

Subject: [Facebooker-talk] parameters for fb_sig_ext_perms =>not showing
	up???
Message-ID: <cb38fdec0811140443l2566b933q1aab25a7e184c1c5@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,

I am using fb_prompt_permission :email, "Give Permission!" and it is working
properly.  A user can give permission and my app can then send emails to
users.

I have a requirement that I have to document that a user has granted this
email extended permission.  I don't see the params for fb_sig_ext_perms =>
email? Why is this not showing up?  Could this be the facebooker plugin or
is it the actual www.facebook.com api?  I noticed the fb_sig_ext_perms
before filters although I dont need them

  before_filter :ensure_has_status_update
  before_filter :ensure_has_photo_upload
  before_filter :ensure_has_create_listing


i have tested the above out, and i properly receive the params for status,
photo and create.  How can I get the email permissions sent as a params?  I
have also tried using fql to grab the email permissions for a given user.
Here is the fql:

>> current_user.facebook_session.fql_query("select email from permissions
where uid = (#{current_user.facebook_id})")
=> [nil]

I think that my fql is working properly but not sure.

If anyone knows how to get the email sent in params or how to write a fql
query that can give me the params I would be extatic!

Here are my params:

Parameters: {"fb_sig_time"=>"1221234687.6134",
"fb_sig"=>"1234gsdrgdfh4634534yhdsrt6345634", "fb_sig_in_new_facebook"=>"1",
"_method"=>"GET", "fb_sig_locale"=>"en_US", "action"=>"index",
"fb_sig_session_key"=>"2354sdfgew563455sgerd34-1231241244",
"fb_sig_position_fix"=>"1", "fb_sig_in_canvas"=>"1",
"fb_sig_request_method"=>"GET", "controller"=>"home",
"fb_sig_expires"=>"123345234234", "fb_sig_added"=>"1",
"fb_sig_friends"=>"1153203682,1154273529,1189153592,1209608725,1212782770",
"fb_sig_api_key"=>"1sd234243235235sdgttwet2354g345tr3",
"fb_sig_ext_perms"=>"status_update,photo_upload,create_listing",
"fb_sig_user"=>"12342342342", "fb_sig_profile_update_time"=>"1226123330"}

as you can see there are no fb_sig_ext_perms.

Hey Ken,

So I've got an app with iframes, but we're using the fbml fb:iframe tag
instead.  To keep the pages distinct from app pages, I'm using the
format of iframe, so:

home_url(:format => :iframe)

make a link to:

/home.iframe

which points to the template;

app/view/home/index.iframe.erb

so now I can have normal HTML templates, and iframe ones.  They use the
same controllers so you don't need to repeat the biz logic.

Then you can rely on the fbml page that wraps your app to ensure the
application is added (and the first iframe hit will have params to build
a facebook sesssion).  Not quite as powerful as a real iframe app for
facebook, but maybe you can use fbml and only fall back to iframe where
needed.

Good luck!

I remember a while back that somebody had patches to make Facebooker  
work on Rails 2.2. Are those still around? I'd like to get them merged  
over the next couple of days.

Hi ---

I just added a 'get_permissions' method to my FacebookUser model that
queries facebook for a user's extended permissions. Your FQL query
seems correct, but you have to call 'post', instead of 'fql_query':

  def get_permissions

    perms = Hash.new

    begin
      current_session = self.facebook_session
      current_session.post("facebook.fql.query",
                           :query => "select email, offline_access,
status_update, photo_upload, create_listing, create_event, rsvp_event,
sms from permissions where uid=#{self.facebook_id}",
                           :format => "XML") do |response|

        type = response.shift
        if (type != "permissions")
          return perms
        end

        response.shift.map do |hash|
          hash.each_pair{|key, value| (value == "1" ? perms.store(key,
true) : perms.store(key, false) )}
        end
      end

      return perms

    rescue
      return nil
    end

  end


Hope this helps. Cheers,

Vince

You already merged my changes that make Rails 2.2 happy. My app seems
to work on 2.2RC2.

There's one outstanding issue that doesn't have a nice, clear
solution. As of 2.2, concat complains that it doesn't need a binding
argument anymore, and the old use is deprecated. On the other hand,
removing that argument will break anyone who's not on 2.2 yet.

Possible solutions:
1) define our own method that calls concat and does the right thing
depending on the version of rails
2) make a git branch for rails 2.2 changes, make the change below in this branch
3) remove the binding argument everywhere and make people upgrade
4) do nothing

 Preferences?
    Victor

Okay, that's good to know. It looks like I just need to fix the tests  
then.

That's annoying. I'm okay with the warnings for now. If anyone feels  
strongly about it, they can create another level of indirection.

Message-ID: <1FA3B1F7-E575-410B-A3E0-A282AEAC1628@hawaii.edu>

Hi all,

Our development team is trying to implement a .fieldWithErrors style  
in our survey form, and as yet have not been able to get anything to  
display. We are currently calling both scaffold.css  and  
facebook_scaffold.css in our survey_response layout, with no result.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

That's the way the Facebook privacy implementation works. It is  
covered in the API documentation for Facebook. There are ways to  
display an alternate name (like "Anonymous Coward") instead of a blank  
name, but no way to override a user's privacy settings.

Do you have your test environment configured in facebooker.yml?

You can access the name of the person. When you get the name of the  
person, you get the name in the context of a specific individual. This  
defaults to the current user. Privacy is built-in here.

For performance reasons, you should probably be using the fb:name tag.  
I think the option you want is :ifcantsee

Message-ID: <ec5eaf130811241356y2c1bf3efp583f9619e98b39f3@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all,Anyone else experiencing problems with the profile image cache?  A
few of my images were dropping from the cache, so I tried calling
refresh_img_src.  Now none of my images are showing up.

My images are hosted on Amazon S3 and are showing up fine on the canvas
pages.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I too have problems.
I too am on S3.

See http://bugs.developers.facebook.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3740 for some
recent attention to the matter.  Might help if you give some details
there for the FB crew to take a look at.

My refreshImgSrc was taking 4 or 5 seconds today, and then the image
that was cached would sit and sit and sit on fb end.  FB had it, it
just couldn't get it out.

Any problem with the image cache could be one of 10,000 things though.
See: http://bugs.developers.facebook.com/show_bug.cgi?id=75 for some
of that history.

Subject: [Facebooker-talk] Sanitizing the New Session Key Format
Message-ID: <7581EBFF-D63E-4B6D-A652-DB58B77A8FD0@gmail.com>

Facebook's new session format contains periods and underscores which  
appear to be breaking mem_cache_store.  To get my app working again, I  
appended the following code to the end of environment.rb

class CGI
class Session
   class MemCacheStore
     def check_id(id) #:nodoc:#
	id = id.gsub('-', '').gsub('.', '').gsub('_', '')
       /[^0-9a-zA-Z-]+/ =~ id.to_s ? false : true
     end
   end
end
end

The above code tricks rails into thinking the session key only  
contains alphanumeric characters.  How will the non-alphanumeric  
characters affect rails?  Does anyone have a better solution for this  
problem?

Message-ID: <C2F94926-3385-4EA5-BBB6-E5006E9B9B26@imeuble.info>

Hi,

I've had one of my application broken this morning (French time) with  
this error :

	NoMethodError (undefined method `status_id=' for  
#<Facebooker::User::Status:0x2ad52d1c8478 @message={}, @time="0">):

It appear that Facebook API had change in the status : a status_id  
node is new :

	  <user>
	    <uid>785637999</uid>
	    <status>
	      <message>I'll give talks at the #railsparty, about Facebooker

So I've added an attr_accessor status_id to the Status class.

Hi All,

I have recently returned to a pet facebook project that I had let sit
idle for quite a while, so I am probably using a version of facebooker
that is at least a year old.

Nevertheless it was working up until a few hours ago... and then I
started to have problems

1) First  I started to get the 'undefined method `status_id=' error
mentioned in this thread.

Then, shortly afterwards I started getting

2) Facebooker::Session::SessionExpired (Session key invalid or no longer valid):

which I assume is something to do with facebook's recent changes to
the session key format.

My app is not 'live' yet so this is not that big a deal, but it raises
a few questions for me that hopefully some more experienced
facebookerers can comment on

1) Does facebook make a habit of breaking stuff like this? One my app
goes live am I going to have to monitor it constantly to see if its
still working?

2) I know I am using an old version of facebooker, but it looks like
the latest official release was in February, so I assume it would not
contain fixes for my current problems. Should I be trying to check out
from head or something?

3) Do most people ride the 'edge' of facebooker in order to pick up
the latest fixes for stuff like this?

cheers
Perryn

Yes, Facebook breaks things quite often. It's a real pain.
