Drupal for Facebook

Get the modules from the project page: http://drupal.org/project/fb

...and the Facebook libraries below.

If using Drupal 6.x, apply the patch found here: http://drupal.org/node/235457#comment-941893

If using Drupal 5.10, there is an issue preventing the fb_fbml theme from being used when it needs to be. There is a discussion about the problem here (read the entire thread): http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/development/2008-August/030883.html

The new facebook profile comes with an updated API for writing feed messages. As of now, this site is using that new API. So please let me know if you see anything looking wrong, or error messages.

The new API includes templates for one-line, short, and longer feed messages. So after you post a topic to these forums you'll see a link to the topic written to your feed. And you can choose the longer feed format to include the teaser of your post right on your facebook wall.

Facebook recently changed the way applications affect user accounts and profiles. It used to be that a user would add an application, and in doing so the application was allowed to write to the users profile, minifeed and do other things on behalf of the user. In the new scheme, the user has more control over exactly what an application can do, and by default most of these permissions are turned off.

I would like to send an invite to another use to look at this.
please advise.

Hello, firstly I'd like to congratulate you on such a great module and wish you all the best with future development.

I have a problem though: when using drupalforfacebook to add a view to my profile, the domain part of all links point to my domain rather than apps.facebook.com (the rest of the url is ok).

I think it's the same problem as documented here: http://drupal.org/node/193386

I noticed that the drupalforfacebook app itself doesn't have this problem when it adds to the box on my profile. Is there a way round this that I haven't found?

I've been meaning to hit you all up about building some additional themes for the FB.module. What do you think would be most useful for the module?

I got an error 343 and it didn't show up in my facebook feed.

Drupal for Facebook now provides an invitation page, like this one:
http://apps.facebook.com/drupalforfacebook/fb/invite

This allows your users to invite other friends to install the application. This can be done when a user first installs the app, or anytime afterward.

An updated to the latest Drupal for Facebook requires some changes to be made manually. For one, the callback URLs have changed, and this requires that you edit your settings on Facebook.com. So there was no way to completely automate this update.

Here's advance warning about some changes that are on the way. Anyone using Drupal for Facebook will need to manually alter settings when these changes take effect.

What you need to be aware of is that all callback URLs will change. Right now, if your site is, say, www.drupalforfacebook.org, then the callback URL (as specified in the app settings form on apps.facebook.com/developer) is http://www.drupalforfacebook.org/. This will change to http://www.drupalforfacebook.org/fb_cb/NNN/, where NNN is the id used by Drupal to identify the app. I'll document this in the README and elsewhere when the change gets checked in.
