Non-rails simple facebook example?

ruby-talk
1

Hi

Has anyone got any recent ruby facebook examples? a simple session
desktop example.

im using ruby 1.8.6 and all the fb APIs out there eg
rfacebook/facebooker and numerous others simply don't work.

eg. in the below i login in the webpage and then hit enter in and get a
big stacktrace.

Thanks

<code>
require 'rubygems'
require 'facebooker'

API_KEY = 'xxxxx'
SECRET_KEY = 'xxxxxxxxx'

session = Facebooker::Session::Desktop.create(API_KEY, SECRET_KEY)

puts session.login_url

puts "#{session.user.name}"
</code>

Facebooker works fine -- at least it does with Rails.

Yeah, great, you got a stacktrace. :slight_smile: That's as informative as saying
"help it doesn't work".

Now...where does the stacktrace tell you that your error is occurring?
And what error is it?

Thanks

<code>
require 'rubygems'
require 'facebooker'

API_KEY = 'xxxxx'
SECRET_KEY = 'xxxxxxxxx'

session = Facebooker::Session::Desktop.create(API_KEY, SECRET_KEY)

puts session.login_url

puts "#{session.user.name}"
</code>

Best,

I have encountered the same issue and solved it. So, I have made an
example with a demo here: http://simply-facebook.herokuapp.com/

There was a "gets" missing after the line when the url is dumped, but
that was just a typo. Anyway, the facebook page says something on the
lines of "you may close the window and return" and then back in ruby
world i get this.

numerous wikis/webpages take you round and round. In the end I read many
places saying the APIs out there are out of date.

(I did come across this http://fbtutorial.qsh.eu/default.aspx - i know
it's not Ruby but this guy says that stuff simply isn't updated in API
world)

It's been a while since I did any Facebook development, but my
recollection is that this probably means that your Facebook session is
expired or not started. I'd suggest you read the Facebook developer
wiki, and ask this again on the Facebook dev forums if necessary.

Best,
