because I wanted to be able to search them. As far as discussion board<br>
goes, I'd really love to use the fbml rather than implementing it.<br>
<br>
Since I'm new to this whole rails thing, all I can think of is to look at the<br>
test cases (rails app should be well tested, right?). I found a bunch<br>
of tests under<br>
vendor/plugins/facebooker/test/. rails_integration_test.rb<br>
contains some test cases on comments and fb_board. I was hoping to figure<br>
out the usage of them by merely looking at the test case. I'm not sure if<br>
you've looked at those and if they're helpful to you.<br>
I figured if they aren't then it means the test coverage can be improved. So<br>
you (or facebooker users like us) could probably improve it by adding new test<br>
cases, which should also help with debugging our problems as well.<br>
