Hi All
Is it possible to upload file in facebook fbml (not iframe) using Ajax ? not a complicated one but just use simple input type="file" tag wrap in a form and post the from using facebook builtin ajax. If can, then how to accept it in server ? I'm using rails facebooker as my backend and paperclip plugin as my file upload system.
Thanx
When I was looking for AJAX uploads, the best I could find was only using iFrames. From this, I assume it's not possible?
There is no easy way to do so in a fbml app. However what you can do is that you should create a normal file uploading script (non fbml) and submit your request to that script. This script uploads the file and goes back to the original fbml page.
I have done that in following app:
apps.facebook.com/theaffinity
Shouldn't it be possible to do something like in Gmail (i.e. AJAX file uploader with loading bar and not having to refresh the page) on a FBML page? Probably with a hidden fb:iframe that would post directly to your own server (not facebook's)..
I'm afraid it would probably take me days, but if anyone has figured it out, please post back :)
