Using jQuery with authlogic_facebook_connect

If you are using jQuery rather than Prototype make the following modifications:

<%= init_fb_connect "XFBML", :js => :jquery %>

and

<%= authlogic_facebook_login_button :js => :jquery %>

Testing FB Connect in a dev environment

Getting this to work on a local dev environment was an annoyance for me. Here’s what I ended up doing.

• Created an entry in my hosts file (/etc/hosts) that pointed dev.mydomain.com to my.routers.public.ip
• Logged into my router, port forwarded 3000 > MyDevMachine port 3000
• In config/facebooker.yml set:

callback_url: http://dev.mydomain.com:3000
set_asset_host_to_callback_url: false

• Verified I could access my application via dev.mydomain.com:3000
• On Facebook.com, under my Applications’s Connect settings, set Connect Url: http://dev.mydomain.com:3000/

Troubleshooting

No route matches “/user_session” with {:method=>:post, :canvas=>false}

This occurs because when setting up autologic, you most likely added a UserSessionsController (note UserSessions is plural). By default, authlogic_facebook_connect uses the singular name for this controller (UserSession). You can override the controller by passing a :controller => ‘value’ hash, like so:

<%= authlogic_facebook_login_button :controller => ‘user_sessions’ %>

Undefined method `facebook_session_key=’ for #

Add a string column to the users table named ‘facebook_session_key’

Example migration:

class AddFacebookSessionKeyToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    add_column :users, :facebook_session_key, :string
  end
  def self.down
    remove_column :users, :facebook_session_key
  end
end
