Drupal for Facebook Beta
I've put a beta tag on Drupal for Facebook. This indicates:
- We're close to an official release. Code still needs some cleanup and possibly bug fixes. And more documentation always helps.
- We're feature complete.I'll check bug fixes into the beta branch, but not new features.
But also, I wanted to tag the code before and after some recent checkins. The beta you can download from drupal.org is after a few big changes. So if using it raises any issues for your apps, let me know as soon as possible by submitting reports to the issue queue. Specifically the changes are around how user accounts are automatically created. Now, less data is stored in $user->data. And there should be no bugs in which a users facebook user id gets out of sync, resulting in an incorrect value.
I've made a few other changes, less dramatic in terms of underlying code, but perhaps more easily perceived. For example, there's an easy way now to add a Facebook Connect button to Drupal's login form.
By the way, its a "2.0" release because the original Drupal for Facebook used an old and now deprecated version of the Facebook API. So there never was a supported 1.0 release. The changes were so major I branched it to 2.0. So the first real release will be Drupal for Facebook 2.0 for Drupal 6.x.
Have fun with the latest release. Report bugs! Submit patches!

Drupal for Facebook Beta
This application looks and sounds great. I might add it to my Drupal website http://www.idealocity.com in order to post messages on Facebook. Great job!
Really - great work!
Really - great work!
Nice work
Nice work - its pretty interesting that we can connect using facebook id and use drupal as a normal drupal's user.
I know this is the wrong place to post but...
I'm having troubles registering on drupal.org so I can't open a new issue.
About your great module "I read the README.txt from start to finish" but... I still have some problems:
1. (maybe due to i18 module) When I save my new fb app on Drupal and I check "Set Application Properties Automatically" the Callback URL is "http://articoliamo.net/chimica/itfb_cb/284/" without a slash between "it" and "fb_cb". I solve this problem manually changing the Callback URL in Facebook and unchecking "Set Application Properties Automatically". It is suffiecient? The module works the same?
2. (maybe due to Views) I rarely see the home page canvas: Facebook or FB module sometimes (without a reason) rewrites "http://apps.facebook.com/chimicamici/?_fb_q=1" (it works) in "http://apps.facebook.com/chimicamici/it/frontpage?_fb_q=1" (it does not works). In fact I use "frontpage" view instead < front >. I don't know how to solve this.
3. (maybe related to previous problems) All links on Facebook redirect to Drupal: I have got (when it works) only the front page shown in Facebook. All the other pages of my Drupal site are rendered in Facebook (when I directly digit url "http://apps.facebook.com/chimicamici/node/NNN" I see them) but are unachievable from front page links.
4. Last question: in Drupal for Facebook settings on settings.php I must uncomment //$conf['fb_api_file'] = 'facebook-platform/php/facebook.php';?
Thank you very much for your wonderful work. Romina (from Italy!)
You're right it's the wrong
You're right it's the wrong place. If you want help you must submit each issue separately to the issue queue.
I can tell you that if you want a URL like http://apps.facebook.com/chimicamici/it/frontpage to work, you're callback URL must be http://articoliamo.net/chimica/fb_cb/284/. And most likely you need to adjust module weights so that i18n comes after the fb modules.
More help is available on the issue queue but not here. Thanks.
Thank you!
I hope to be able to create a new account on Drupal.org (after login I always experiment WSOD...). Smack, Romina
AMAZING!!!
Thank YOU!!!!
