I'm really interested in this as well. SendRequest has been depriciated.

NEW POST: FQL Execute Query

fatidik — Tue, 13 May 2008 08:49:38 GMT

It was pretty hard to find out what to do with the result of an Fql.ExecuteQuery, but I managed to find out.
So I share it:

public static IEnumerable FqlQuery(string query, Facebook.Web.FacebookApplication fbApplication)

{

return fbApplication.Service.Fql.ExecuteQuery(query) as IEnumerable;

}

and an example of use:

IEnumerable friends = Repository.FqlQuery("SELECT uid, name FROM user WHERE uid IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1=" + fb_uid + ")", fbApplication);

foreach (IDictionary friend in friends) { uid = friend["uid"]; }

NEW POST: Friends feed notification & PublishMiniFeedStory

bradbox — Mon, 12 May 2008 21:57:04 GMT

Hello,

I'm using PublishMiniFeedStory but the items are not appearing in the friend's feeds.

I've registered a template for the application, and the app is already live (i.e. its been submitted to FaceBook).

I've seen some documentation recommending the use of PublishTemplatizedAction, but that call doesn't seem to be in the API.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Bradley

NEW POST: Session, iframe, cross domain and opera (also safari)

fatidik — Thu, 08 May 2008 16:01:00 GMT

Ok.. for my problem I found a solution, actually using ViewState resolved the problem. Nevertheless, if I would want to use session later, I might want to know a way around. I found something for php going like this:

sessionid($facebook->apiclient->session_key);
session_start();

Would it be possible to do something similar for ASP.NET ?

NEW POST: Session, iframe, cross domain and opera (also safari)

fatidik — Thu, 08 May 2008 14:27:10 GMT

Hello.
I am starting with my application, and it is really giving me headaches :). Everything working then not.. killing me

My last problem is with session. I want to store in the session a code. It is actually working with IE et FF. But I tried with Opera and Safari and it did not work. The session ID is changed on every postback. It is actually working when I am running it outside the iframe. But when it's inside not. I would say it comes maybe from security measures in Opera and Safari when you have cross domain iframe. Am I right ? What should I do ?
I tried cookies also, but it is not working, they are not held.

I am sure I am not the only one to use iframe here, nor the only one to want to use session with. So what is the turn around ?
So, thanks in advance!

NEW POST: Where is the documentation ?

i should look more at the facebook wiki :)
thanks both of you ;)

NEW POST: Added FB Application redirect to add.php?

GShock — Fri, 02 May 2008 01:47:40 GMT

GREAT - I was using my app's URL instead of the FB APP URL in my fb app settings (and I lower-cased everything to be safe). Thanks for the tips...

NEW POST: Added FB Application redirect to add.php?

cellis3306 — Thu, 01 May 2008 23:52:43 GMT

Hmm.

Are you trying to debug the application? I frequently see this page when i try to debug locally, but the issue is as simple as clicking the left hand link to open my application.

As for your users they should see your post-add page provided its configured correctly.

I have the default postadd.aspx page that came with the framework with just an empty page_load, etc

As for my Post_add URL , it looks like this

http://apps.facebook.com/myawesomeapp/install/postadd.aspx

Remember to keep everything lowercase!

Hope this helps

NEW POST: Added FB Application redirect to add.php?

GShock — Thu, 01 May 2008 22:19:45 GMT

Hi,

Is there anybody else out there having the same problem? When a user adds my application to their profile, they get redirected to add.php?api_key=some_api_key&v=1.0 and see the following message:

You've already added MyFbApplicationName to your Facebook applications.
Visit the My Applications page to adjust your settings or remove this app.

I would like the user to go to my application's default page after they add the app, or even maybe to get redirected to /install/postadd.aspx AS I HAVE CONFIGURED in the application settings page.

Thanks for the fantastic work on Facebook.NET API Nikhil. Regards,

PS- below is a similar post, except my login works fine, my problem is after adding the application.

NEW POST: Profile box not showing dynamic content after re-arranging

zubairdotnet — Thu, 01 May 2008 05:18:13 GMT

Thanks for the reply,

There are FBML tags that can hide the content but I don't know if you're using them without an example of the text you're inserting. Also, can your friends see the application box itself, just not the content?

Which FBML tags can hide the content ? After your suggestion above, I omitted the fb:wide or fb:narrow and just use Profile.setFBML("SOME OF MY CONTENT", USERID) to show the content, which is fine when I see my profile, but this application box doesn't show up when my friends view my profile and not just the content.

You have to if you want it publicly accessible. I think I'm misunderstanding the question.

No you're right, I meant to host it publicly when I'm done with development, do you recommend any free hoster of FB apps or in general ?

NEW POST: mini feed

wcbrown — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 23:11:12 GMT

I've only ever experienced the reverse: shows up in the Mini-Feed but not the News Feed. I'm assuming that you don't have the "Private Installation" setting enabled.

Either way, I'd guess that it's a Facebook issue more than a Facebook.NET matter. Do your post to the Mini-Feed and see what the response is from Facebook for it.

NEW POST: Profile box not showing dynamic content after re-arranging

wcbrown — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 22:23:34 GMT

Why this profile box doesn't show up when my friends view my profile, do they need to install this app?

On the profile page, they shouldn't need to install the app. There are FBML tags that can hide the content but I don't know if you're using them without an example of the text you're inserting. Also, can your friends see the application box itself, just not the content?

I'm building an Iframe app, is it better to host it on a public server ?

You have to if you want it publicly accessible. I think I'm misunderstanding the question.

How to list it on FB App Directory ?

On the application page in the Developers application, right below the title there's a "Directory Status" label that looks something like this:

Directory Status: Not Submitted

Once you have completed your application, you may submit it to our product directory.

The word submit in the previous sentence is a link to submit. You can't submit until you've gotten five Facebook users to install your app. And then it's subject to review. The review is pretty quick.

NEW POST: Ajax toolkit with IE & Facebook.Net

zubairdotnet — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 05:54:17 GMT

I applied this fix, remember that you also need to apply the fix to AjaxToolkit (link on Bleroy's post above) to make it work.

hope it helps

NEW POST: mini feed

cellis3306 — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 04:41:58 GMT

Well , it definitely is showing up in the News Feed of the recipient (i.e. if you click the facebook logo of my recipient test account) but not in the mini feed. ... I registered a Feed Template in the sender test account ( but not sure if this had anything to do with it working. I also am sure that competing messages will drown it out if its not relevant (my real facebook acct. did not show it on the news feed ). So, still wondering why the minifeed of the recipient test acct isn't showing it but the news feed is.

NEW POST: mini feed

cellis3306 — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 01:06:18 GMT

Oh.

I didn't know i had to register a template ... i thought the framework just publishedToMiniFeed.... do you have example code of how you would interface with said Template? Thanks

NEW POST: mini feed

wcbrown — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:59:16 GMT

There's two possibilities:

1) You've got the "Private Installation" setting checked in your application's settings. This setting disables publishing to other users.

2) There's something at the Facebook level that's restricting things http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Feed.publishTemplatizedAction#Notes

Possible candidates:
"Applications are limited to calling this function 10 times for each user or Page in a rolling 48-hour window."
"The story may or may not show up in the user's friends' News Feeds, depending on the number and quality of competing stories."
"If a story template is registered and enabled to be shown to all users, it may be shown to the user's friends that do not have the application installed."

(On the last candidate, you may not have registered your template for your application. It's under "Feed Templates" in your application page.
