[Facebooker-talk] New status_id in Facebook API - FIX

[Perryn Fowler]

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2) Facebooker::Session::SessionExpired (Session key invalid or no longer valid):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