How can I get how long will be access token will be valid. Because I need to renew the token when it nears to the expiry date.

hi
if a user has authorized my fb app,then he is allowed to invoke methods in the app.But it is natural that one of methods redirects the user to another method when he is requesting the previous method,in this case, i find the redirected page is not rendered in facebook canvas.Redirect is so common in an app,so how to let every page rendering happen inside facebook? can you tell us the latest facebook way to do it?
thanks!

client.selection.me.info! for example.
Today gem was broken. Any changes in facebook API?

I have this error : "(#324) Requires upload file"
whith this code
{
me = FbGraph::User.me(session[:access_token])
me.photo!(:name => "name", :source => "http://hd-wallpaper.org/wallpapers95/Realistic_Flaming_Guitar_Fire.jpg")

}

thanks

Hi again

There is the problem with the url for the profile picture. This is the line i use to get the picture url:

client.selection.me.picture

And this is the url I get:

https://graph.facebook.comme/picture?access_token=whatever

Clearly there is a / missing between .com and me.

:-)

I'm running Rails 2.3.8 and using gem version 0.0.9. So I completely understand if you don't want to answer the following or feel compelled to laugh at me. That said, a number of users have synced their FB accounts to our system and the following code was working just fine. Recently, however, it only seems to be working for some of the users.

client = FBGraph::Client.new( :client_id => fb_key, :secret_id => fb_secret, :token => user_token )
sel = client.selection
sel.params=( { :fields => 'work,education,name,picture,link' } )
sel.me.info!

Running this code in IRB for a user for whom this code doesn't work, I get the following error:
OAuth2::HTTPError: Received HTTP 400 during request.

Any thoughts?

Hi,
Is it possible to delete a comment with fbgraph?

Hello I'm using the code from your example, but
I have this error during the redirection to the page of my app
{
"error": {
"type": "OAuthException",
"message": "Missing redirect_uri parameter."
}
}
Thanks

Is this the replacement for Facebooker gem?

i want to follow the twitter gem approach. So the user can choose which gemwants to use for authenticate/authorize.

Is there a fast way to get fql queries in the plugin?
Like in https://github.com/appoxy/mini_fb

Is it possible to use fbgraph with the 'accounts' selection connection type? I want to get the Facebook page(s) the user administrates.

I first build my fb client for a user who has given the permissions "offline_access" and "manage_pages", and I can get call client.selection.accounts. But when I try client.selection.accounts.info! I get a HTTP Bad Request error from Facebook Graph API.

Is it possible to use the info! method on the connection accounts to get the pages the user administrates? If so do I have to do anything special?

Here is a session in the console:

info! on me is working

This is the code I'm using to handle the code provided by facebook's callback. When I get to the line that calls the process_callback method, I get a 400 error with no explanation of what's wrong. Am I doing something wrong?

I make sure the app is not authorized,go the the app page on facebook to authorize, finally the facebook logo is show with a link that says "go to facebook". Then if I click that logo or point my browser directly to https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=...&redirect_uri=http://www.example.com/oauth_redirect, I do get an authorization screen.It is so strange if it is because of the expired token(after reading one closed issue here).What's more,if i directly use the facebook api instead of fbgraph,the same problem happens. is it because the fb new api is still in development?

In my rails app everything works fine, but when trying the exact same code in script/console I get the following error on each request to facebook.

Currently, the README sucks. needs Improvements

Hi Nicolas,

By default the Facebook API does return the user gender attribute in the user locale ('hombre' for example)... making quite hard to deal with those values when the users come from different countries.

Looks like it's possible for force a locale when requesting the Facebook API to always get such attributes in a specified locale. I could not find a specific reference to that in the Facebook API documentation, but several posts mention it, for instance http://forum.developers.facebook.net/viewtopic.php?pid=174065

Do you think it would possible to add an option in fbgraph to force a locale when requesting the Facebook Graph API?

Florent

Hello,

Not sure if it's a fbgraph issue, or if I miss something using fbgraph...

With fbgraph I can publish a message to a page feed but it appears published by the page owner (I have his credentials) and not by the page itself. Here is how I do:

fbg_client = FBGraph::Client.new(:client_id => FACEBOOK_APP_ID, :secret_id => FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET, :token => user.facebook_token)
fbg_client.selection.page(business.facebook_page_id).feed.publish!(:message => message, :link => announcement_url, :name => "new message")

I now try to have the message posted published by the page itself instead of the page owner but I could not find a way to do this in the FBGraph API Post page (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post) and only found related bugs for the old Facebook REST API (http://bugs.developers.facebook.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8184, http://bugs.developers.facebook.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8691).

Is is possible to do it with fbgraph?

Any help appreciated :)

I was using the code like as follows -

def broadcast_on_facebook(donation)
client = FBGraph::Client.new(:client_id => facebook_account.uid ,:token => facebook_account.access_token)
u = client.selection.me.info!
client.selection.user(u[:id]).feed.publish!(
:message => "I donated for #{donation.cause.name} on mySite. Feels good and satisfied to be helpful to somebody in need.",
:name => "Donate Now !!",
:link => "#{RETURN_URL_LOCALHOST}?uuid=#{uuid}",
:picture => 'https://mysite.net/images/modules/header/logov3-hover.png',
:caption => donation.cause.description
)
donation.update_attributes(:broadcasted => true)
end

it seems your gem is best for facebook app(i have looked over other fb gems) after reading the developer doc on facebook.But the depending rcov gem is not able to install on windows.while i don't want to reinstall ruby,can you tell us how to manage it?
The error is following:

Recently updated my gems while merging two branches together and got this error:

I'm running ruby-1.9.3-p392 and rails 3.2.18 on Mac OSX 10.8.5. The code that's being pointed out is the following:

# :nodoc: undo the clusterfuck that rest-client has done
module Net

    alias request __request__  # <=====
  end
end

Did __request__ exist in an old version of Net::HTTP or a newer? or something? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I haven't come across this error before, but it looks like it might be an OAuth2 bug. I'm running win7 64 bit.

I can retrieve information just fine, but cannot post

client = FBGraph::Client.new(:client_id => 'id',   :secret_id => 'secret', :token => current_user.authorizations.find(:all, :conditions => { :provider => 'facebook' })[0]['token'])

Token is derived from omniauth, id and secret are taken from my app page on facebook

client.selection.me.feed.publish!(:message => 'test', :name => 'test')

results in:
RestClient::Forbidden: 403 Forbidden

Any ideas?

Thanks

Edit: my omniauth access token was not granting me publish permissions, I modified that and now it's working.

Same like README but sucks worse.

Error:
undefined method []' for false:FalseClass .bundle/gems/ruby/1.8/gems/fbgraph-1.7.1/lib/fbgraph/authorization.rb:10:inauthorize_url'

(only showing relevant lines below)
Auth 10:
params = { :redirect_uri => FBGraph.config[:canvas_url] }.merge(params)

FBGraph.config
load_config(File.join(Rails.root , 'config' , 'facebook.yml')).freeze

FBGraph.load_config
return false unless File.exist?(yaml_file)

I'm using Rails 3 on Ruby 1.8.7. I created facebook.yml and put it in the config folder. It doesn't get loaded. Based on what I'm reading in the code, it doesn't look like it ever will.

In the FbGraph module, the choice to grab the config is in the config method,
def config
@config ||= load_config(File.join(Rails.root , 'config' , 'facebook.yml')).freeze
end
But the @config member variable always has a value. It's set as soon as the FbGraph module is parsed.
@config = {}
The ||= never evaluates to loading the configuration. When I change the code and remove the automatic initialization of @config, it still seemingly doesn't work. This line from the Client initialization fails to get the config.
@client_id, @secret_id = options[:client_id] || FBGraph.config[:client_id], options[:secret_id] || FBGraph.config[:secret_id]
FBGraph.config[:client_id] is evaluated as nil when using a label to retrieve the value of client_id. Using the literal strings 'client_id' and 'secret_id' works to get the values. After that, things are fine.

Have I missed something?

I can't do a selection when I'm not authenticated. If still need a consumer or I get this error:

undefined method `get' for nil:NilClass
/Users/joren/.bundle/ruby/1.8/bundler/gems/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/whiny_nil.rb:48:in `method_missing'
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/fbgraph-0.0.9/lib/fbgraph/base.rb:47:in `info!'

I've created a client without a token because I don't need one to do a simple get like this:
http://graph.facebook.com/125467577971
But you need a token to create a consumer...

any ideas

When I implement the example code and try to access oauth#start, I end up with an error:

$creds = Hash.new

I've looked around a bit and while I'm sure this error must be my own, I can't seem to find why my variable would be false and have debugged it not to be.

Hi

I really hope you can shed some light at this problem I am having, I am using the fbgraph_example application and I cannot get it to show me the authorization screen when I use it from facebook. I am in my development environment and I use an ssh tunnel to communicate with facebook.

This is what I do: I make sure the app is not authorized on my facebook account, then I go the the app page on facebook and after a long time I get an error (the facebook logo is show with a link that says "go to facebook"). Facebook never calls the callback method. However, and this is the strange part if I point my browser directly to the start method (i.e. localhost:3000/oauth/start), I do get an authorization screen where I can authorize the app, then I get sent back to my app on facebook and everything works.

Does this have to do with the fact that I am in development or is this a problem with FBgraph? Does this happen for you as well?

I get an error on Rails 3.0.5 in
OAuth_controller # Start
that says:

You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]

Probably, i havent setup my facebook.yml file correctly. May be i can help you with documenting this if you can tell me how to setup the facebook.yml file?

hello,
I am trying create a facebook live chatbot.
is fbgraph right for that ?
need request stream respond from http server.
how can i do that ?

client.selection.me.inbox.info!

is this wrong? it gives a 400 error

i have error like following deploying on server after install successfully on my local windows:

i have try my best,but don't know how to make it work.it is locally installed well on my windows,but not able to deploy to heroku...

Hi, Is there any way to get those variables? friends_count, likes_count, post_count ??? Or any idea how to get it without iterate the whole structure?

thanks

With version 0.0.9:

client.selection.me.picture

client.selection.me.feed.publish!() is publishing everything but the picture.
Every param of the following call is published except for the picture:

me = FbGraph::User.me(facebook_token)
me.fetch.friends

I get friends with many empty values, I need to access the email.

sorry for all of this questions , but without the documentation I can't understend a lot of things in your gem
this time I'm trying add the tags to a photo that I've created

me = FbGraph::User.me(session[:access_token])
file = File.new(File.join('/Users', 'tod','Documents','nov.jpg'), 'r')
photo = me.photo!(:name => 'foto di prova', :source => file, :tags => ?)

thanks

I'm experiencing the following error while trying to use authenticated methods in fbgraph 1.8.3:

RestClient::SSLCertificateNotVerified (SSL Verification failed -- Preverify: false, Error: unable to get local issuer certificate (20)

I found two related mailing list threads (one, two) which mentioned the restclient_with_cert gem, however after including this in my Gemfile and updated my bundle the errors persisted.

Copying the certificates declared in restclient_with_cert's lib/cert file into fbgraph's lib/cacert.pem makes things work again, so I'm assuming I'm not using that gem correctly.

Any ideas the best way to resolve this issue?

I have a simple application in Rails 3.0.7 using only FB authentication methods provided by FBGraph gem (tested on current gem version and git version) and I recieve the following error:

TypeError in OauthsController#callback
can't convert Hash into Integer
app/controllers/oauth_controller.rb:7:in `callback'

My callback method is defined as follows:

def callback
access_token = client.authorization.process_callback(params[:code], :redirect_uri => 'http://localhost:3000/oauth/callback')
session[:access_token] = access_token
user_json = client.selection.me.info!
# in reality you would at this point store the access_token.token value as well as
# any user info you wanted
render :json => user_json
end

I get the same error when using example application linked in gem's readme file.

I'd be very grateful for any help regarding this issue. Thank you in advance.

The latest version of this gem now causes a <FbGraph::Exception: Unparsable Response: > fb_graph - rails 3.1.3 exception.
I have resolved this by reverting back to the previous version of the gem as per my answer here.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9636619/fbgraphexception-unparsable-response-fb-graph-rails-3-1-3/9640466#9640466

I have no idea what causes the problem but if it is of any help the code that causes this exception looks like this
[code]
owner = FbGraph::User.me(FB_TOKEN)
pages = owner.accounts
page = pages.detect do |page|
page.identifier == FB_PAGE_ID
end
page.feed!(
:message => params[:message],
:description => params[:description],
:link => self.app_link
)
[/code]

Obviously the FB_PAGE_ID and the FB_TOKEN are constants for my specific page and user on facebook
