[Facebooker-talk] A few announcements

[Lee Mallabone]

Hi Mike,

I find the names of the class-level filters a bit confusing/redundant.
Am I right in thinking that having two filters
(ensure_authenticated... and ensure_app_is_installed...) is a hangover
from the days of the "old" facebook app install model?

In my app I use ensure_application_is_installed_by_facebook_user and a
filter I created myself. I'd like to use
ensure_authenticated_to_facebook but it always prompts the user to
install the app, which imho it should not.

I get around this problem at the moment by using the facebook_params
hash to ensure that when I check for a user ID, the signature is
present and valid. It would be nicer if I could just use an explicit
filter that guarantees a request has come via facebook without
requiring the user to authorize my app.

I know these constructs already exist internally in facebooker, I
think it would be nicer if they were more explicit to new developers.

Kind regards,
Lee.
