New Post: Is this project still active?

DavidLevesque — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:56:31 GMT

Hi there,

I was wondering if this project was still a good alternative to the Facebook Developer Toolkit and if it was still supported to reflect the ongoing chances of the Facebook API?

My goal is to use it for a Silvelright 3 application inside Facebook, am I looking at the right place?

Thanks

New Post: Getting Comments on Wall Messages

RealityMasque — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:22:50 GMT

Heya,

I'm hoping someone can help me get the comments for a wall message.

On this page -- http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Stream_%28FQL%29 --

there is the following description of the comments field in the stream table

comments

<tt>array</tt>

A sample array of comments added to a post. This list contains up to two comments to display along with stream content. To get the full list of comments, use stream.getComments or query the comment FQL table using the post_id of this post. The array contains the following fields:

can_remove (bool): Indicates whether users can remove comments.
can_post (bool): Indicates whether users can post comments.
count (i32): The total number of comments added to the post.
comment_list (array): A list of comment-type comments for this post. Comments are formatted as they would be when returned by the comment (FQL) table.

I am using Facebook.NET to pull back wall messages & the comments for those wall messages. When I've used the comments array, the only 2 comments in there are the comments by the user whose wall my code is pulling messages from.

So I decided to try querying the comment FQL table directly, but the post_id associated with a message seems to return a null. Since the post_id returned is formatted like

<source_id>_<?incrementing number?>

I've tried using the value after the underscore, which returns an object that has a count of 0.

How do I get all the comments of a wall message? Are permissions of commenting users somehow involved?

New Post: publish feed in friends wall

Garcia — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:09:25 GMT

Hello,

I got this code to publish to the user's wall but the text on the post is being set as the facebook status too not sure how to turn that off.
Also, I've found code everywhere to get the popup to show the feed form so the user can select to publish or skip but my facebook.dll doesn't have any of the method overloads that I've found.
How can I get the popup to show? has someone made it work? My code only publish directly without prompting the user. I downloaded the latest version 2.1 from this site.

I understand that the has publishUserAction has auto_publish and I want to set it to false so I do get the popup but my method doesn't have that!

                attachment attach = new attachment();

                    attach.caption = "Post text";

New Post: app_to_user Notifications

tdean — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 18:40:38 GMT

Can anyone explain how the notification allocations work? I went to the statistics page and it gives you "Notification sends per user per day(user_to_user)". Does anyone know if the same threshold applies for app_to_user? I have been testing my application but I seem to hit a threshold and can no longer send notifications, no exceptions are thrown but no notifications are recieved by any of the test users. Is there anyway to find out if my application has been blocked or anyway to find out why my notifications are no longer getting through?

I have an application that I host outside of facebook and this is what I use:

facebook.Components.FacebookService _fbService = new facebook.Components.FacebookService();

string KEY = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["APIKey"].ToString();
string SECRET = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Secret"].ToString();
_fbService.ApplicationKey = KEY;
_fbService.Secret = SECRET;
_fbService.IsDesktopApplication = false;

string sessionKey = "";
string userId = "";

if (Session["facebook_session_key"] != null)
{
sessionKey = Session["facebook_session_key"].ToString();
}

if (Session["facebook_userId"] != null)
{
userId = Session["facebook_userId"].ToString();
}

// When the user uses the facebook login page,
// the redirect back here will will have the auth_token in the query params
string authToken = Request.QueryString["auth_token"];
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(sessionKey))
{
_fbService.SessionKey = sessionKey;
_fbService.uid = long.Parse(userId);
}
else if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(authToken))
{
_fbService.CreateSession(authToken);
Session["facebook_session_key"] = _fbService.SessionKey;
Session["facebook_userId"] = _fbService.uid.ToString();
Session["facebook_session_expires"] = _fbService.SessionExpires;
}
else
{
Response.Redirect(@"http://www.facebook.com/login.php?api_key=" +
_fbService.ApplicationKey + @"&v=1.0");
}

if (!IsPostBack)
{
var friends = _fbService.friends.getUserObjects();
foreach (facebook.Schema.user friend in friends)
{
//do whatever you want here
}
}

New Post: unable to connect to facebook as a user

tdean — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 17:35:27 GMT

I have noticed a setting in the application configuration screen in the "Advanced" tab called "Sandbox Mode" It says that if you have this enabled then only developers of your application can see it.

New Post: Notification settings

tdean — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 17:30:18 GMT

I have a desktop application that sends notifications to users. I noticed while testing that the application logo appears beside the notification but not the application name. I have gone through the application settings and filled out all details but it still doesn't show. Does anyone know how to get the application name to appear beside the notification?

New Post: Facebook "like" link?

Baryn — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:21:36 GMT

I am trying to implement the "like" link in my app, I was wondering which aspect of Facebook.NET hooks into this, and if this has an analog in the official PHP API I can look at as well. We've been struggling with this for about a week now, and I would be very grateful to have some help from the community.

Thank you very much ahead of time for any help provided!

New Post: Notification on status update

ThomasArdal — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 05:21:28 GMT

I would like to write a Facebook plugin, looking at the installing users status updates. Is there some part of the API, which makes it possible to get notified, each time the installing user, updates his/her status?

I could just do a desktop application letting the user login and after that poll the user object for status updates. But I would really like to get the updates AS they happen, rather than polling multiple facebook accounts.

Try this: facebook.Types.Enums.Extended_Permissions.publish_stream

Instead of: Enums.Extended_Permissions.publish_stream

New Post: Profile.SetFBML Problem!

altin34 — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 20:49:05 GMT

Hi,

I've written an application with asp.net (c#) . But I couldn't succeed to send a notification to user wall with Profile.SetFBML method.

I've googled and find the updated version of the method on http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Profile.setFBML addres. But the version of FacebookNET.dll (v.0.3.0.0) which I've used in my app doesn't have this method with defined parameters on that url.

I've used FacebookNET.dll and FacebookNET.Web.dll

Below line returns True but it doesn't publish the notification to the wall.

Profile.SetFbml(service.UserID, profileFbml, "", "")

I think below line is the true usage of method. But I don't have the latest source code version of FacebookNET. So I couldn't modify the dll.

FacebookService service = fbApplication.Service;
Profile.SetFBML("", service.UserID, profileFbml, "", "");

Can you provide the latest version of dll or send some sample code which works with the right notification publish method?

Regards,

Created Issue: localization change by Facebook affecting API calls to restserver.php

mtrainer — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 02:39:05 GMT

With the recent additional of support for localization by the Facebook API per [http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Push_Changes_-_Aug_25_2009], there have been several reports that this is failing with this library. Namely, in several places the library assumes that certain string values will be returned (like 'male' and 'female'). To reproduce, create a Facebook application using this framework, and publish it in a non- US English locale through the Translations application at facebook.com/translations. After this, any user browsing the application in said locale will experience the issues.

To fix the issue, the library should be patched to avoid dependencies on particular strings in order to convert the values to enumerations, and instead act in a locale-independent manner.

so is there anyone who has a suggestion for me?

New Post: users.hasAppPermission problems

Eonasdan — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 13:29:33 GMT

I'm having trouble with the users.hasAppPermission (thus the title).

If I do this:

if API.users.hasAppPermission(facebook.Types.Enums.Extended_Permissions.publish_stream) = true then
   response.write("hi")
end if

Then I get this: facebook.Utility.FacebookException: user id parameter or session key required

If I do this:

if API.users.hasAppPermission(Enums.Extended_Permissions.publish_stream) = true then
   response.write("hi")
end if




Then I get  Name 'Enums' is not declared.

What am I doing wrong here? I want to check if the user has granted extended permissions. If the user has not granted extended permissions then ask for permission.
