Great tutorial.

I can login just fine but the problem is that my logout features doesn’t work because @current_user is always nil.

What gives?

I followed this tutorial to facebook connect rails application. Its a good tutorial. I want know that why fb_id, email_hash is stored. Is it possible to built without storing fb_id, email_hash.

Good post. One thing that I noticed on Stuart’s post and yours is that you cannot store the user’s name more than 24h – http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Storable_Data

in the logout link… make it link to the right control destination sessions NOT session…

Logout

I made “end_session” action instead of “destroy”…
in the routes.rb
map.resources :sessions, :collection => { :end_session => :get }

Regards!

sth missing in application_controller : add “:fetch_logged_in_user”
to be
before_filter :set_facebook_session, :fetch_logged_in_user

and i think destroy actions is a post action. so we cant make a get action on it. I recommend to use another action name instead.

Thanks

Hi I am working locally so i didnt specify the name of the site

I follow all the steps specified above … but I cant see facebook button on the screen … I cant even see the sentence “login with facebook”.

Is it the browser specific problem .. so that it cant read out the fbml or anyother prob …

I actually figured it out. You need to configure facebooker.yml before calling a script to generate xd_receiver.html. I fixed my post as well.

Thanks for the tips on clearing the FB cookies, that was giving me some issues and I was looking for the right things to call. Thanks again.

Hey Law, Thanks. As long as you have 1) <%= fb_connect_javascript_tag %> and <%= init_fb_connect "XFBML"%> in app/views/layouts/application.html.erb after body tag and before <%= yield %>, and 2) "before_filter :set_facebook_session" and "helper_method :facebook_session" in ApplicationController, you should at least see the button. Perhaps you can double check? Also you probably want to make sure you have the following line in the header section in the app/views/layouts/application.html.erb. <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults%>
