Example code for using Facebook Connect with Coldfusion

Question

Is there any good example code in Coldfusion 8 that shows how to use Facebook Connect?

Answer 1

Have you checked the available RIAForge (used search link because there are 5 of them already there) options? Havent used them personally, but descriptions give some hope.

Answer 2

Might take a look at Facebook Developer Wiki which has a link to 8 Minute Apps. Haven't tried any of this, but it would be a place to start.

Answer 3

Hi Jason,

Wondering if you managed to get CF work with FB Connect?

I am running CF8 on IIS, Windows Server 2003.

I use this FB Connect wrapper for ColdFusion written by James Constable,

http://jamesconstable.co.uk/web-development/facebook-connect-library-for-coldfusion

The library is written for Railo server, I managed to port it (or i think so) to IIS, but it gives me this error

Loop error.
Invalid collection [expires, session_key, ss, user]. Must be a valid structure or COM object.

From there I deduct that the init method has been called, but the fb params is not populated.

I am panicking now, this is my first CF project, a bit clueless, lol.

Needing some enlightenment :)

Thank you in advance,
