Hi, what if I want to make my facebook app on “top” of my actual rails app ?

Well, Josh, your tutorial stands head and shoulders above all other documentation for facebooker. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to get me up and running on Facebook.

To be fair, I’m trying to do an iframe app (it’s already all done, don’t ask me to redo it in FBML!), so there is that one difference. At best, I’ve been getting the error: Facebooker::Session::MissingOrInvalidParameter: Invalid parameter:
auth_token = 68db9e468e801338196d0a21bb7b1b73

Clearly, the auth_token is not missing. So what makes it invalid? *sigh*

Anyway, your tutorial is great, but facebooker still needs more testing and documentation. Heck, I’ll settle for just more documentation.

After editing sshd_config, remember to restart your sshd service. Command would generally one of:

/etc/init.d/ssh restart (Ubuntu, etc.)
or
service sshd restart (Fedora, RedHat, etc.)

Facebooker is sorely under-documented and this isn’t helped by the fact that the tutorial has been broken (won’t load) since I started trying to use facebooker.

I can’t get profile updates to work, even after using the above code and correcting the infinite loop. It seems that the plugin has changed since you authored this as profile_main is not a function (thats the error I now get.)

I had to change some of the code in the plugin itself to get things working. It seems really under-tested, under-documented and under-supported. I’m considering going back to rfacebook.

the sample code has a problem; it calls a method named profile within a method of the same name, thus causing a stack-too-deep issue. we’ll have to rename the method name to something else.

same here, got a “stack level too deep” exception on rails. anyone has figured this out?

btw, would this be due to a name conflict of the “user” model?

Hi, I’m having problems posting to profile.
When you call ‘profile(fbml)’, it loads again in the stack entering and infinite loop.

Great post, I’m going to be looking into doing something with facebook (and bebo which I fear will be tougher) in the next few weeks so I’ll be back to consult this post
