[Facebooker-talk] parameters for fb_sig_ext_perms =>not showing up???

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
