I'd like to be able to use that session in a few rails methods using Facebooker. The basic workflow is like this: User goes to non-rails page and logs in t...
I have a facebook application that can be added to fan pages as a tab. The application requires that users are authenticated in order to use it. This can be accomplished by using requirelogin=1 in a link which is visible only to users who have NOT added the application. This part works fine. However, after the user has given my applicat...
Can I use Facebooker without having to create a whole Facebook App in their Developer section? I don't need to create a Facebook App with Facebooker, I just want to be able to create events and posts on Facebook with my own custom admin panel on my site. Facebooker seems to have everything built already, so I wouldn't want to use just ...
Can anyone direct me to a resource for getting up and running with the Facebooker plugin? The tutorial linked at the docs barely covers getting an app running, not actually using the API, the docs themselves are basically empty, and I can't find any references to basic API methods around the web, and those that I do find seem already ou...
Anyone have any tips for best practices for mocking out facebook requests in functional tests? Is it just as simple as adding all of the proper params to the request? Is there a way to stub those out? I'm using facebooker, which comes with a mock service: # A mock service that reads the Facebook response from fixtures # Adapted f...
(I know there's been a similar question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1474817/getting-nested-iframes-with-facebooker-in-iframe-app, but that fix didn't seem to work) I'm currently developing a Facebook iframe app in Rails using the Facebooker plugin. However, I'm getting some weird cross-browser incompatibilities. The app wor...
Hi all, I'm using the Authlogic Facebook Connect plugin on my site. After a bit of a struggle I can sign in with FBConnect, I can get stuff from the FBSession, like the users name, and I can logout. But, the README on the plugin site seems to suggest that following the five steps will result in the FB UID being saved in your local datab...

Hi, I am developing a Facebook App which requires some extended permission. The problem is that Facebook doesn't automatically ping my app when those permissions are granted by the user. I have to manually query for them or the user must press a confirmation button to send them to me. My question is how can I enable Facebook to ping m...
I've gone through the Facebooker msg archive, google, etc and found a couple messages dealing with this and they basically say "Go look at the Facebook docs and see what is happening". I did that, but I'm still not clear what is going on and why I'm not able to retrieve my profile or status arrays using Facebooker. I'm starting to think ...

I'm having trouble building simple, coherent current_user functionality. Currently I ...
My facebook application has a tab the user can install. On this tab, there is links that are suppose to link to application canvas (ex.: apps.facebook.com/my-app). It seems that when I'm on my user profile tab and click on a link, Facebook loads the page inside the tab. How do I force it to navigate out of the tab and into the canvas pa...

Basically I'm wanting to get the photos belonging to that Fan Page, not the visiting user. Anyway for me to call such methods in this scenario? Thanks in advance! ...
I'm working through some inital setup of a dev environment for Facebook trying to use Facebooker and its SSH tunnel to expose my dev site. I’m having a lot of trouble with the SSH tunnel.

But when I try to access the page's info I get an SessionExpired error....
