Hello everybody,
I am reading the book Facebook Platform Development in order to try to code a small game for Facebook, and I have come across a "little" problem: I am trying to insert a user every time this is logged, into a database in my computer. I am using a couple of methods written in the book, but there seems to be a couple of problems:
I can't seem to retrieve the session_key from Facebook using the Facebooker helpers for RoR, and thus this value is null into the table in my database.
Every time I reload the webpage, I can see that even though the facebook_id is the same, the same user is added in another row to my table in the database, even though it shouldn't; it's just supposed to update the attribute session_key if this changes -anyway, right now this is null.
These are the three methods I am using in order to perform all this:
def self.for(facebook_id,facebook_session=nil) user = User.find_or_create_by_facebook_id(facebook_id) unless facebook_session.nil? user.store_session(facebook_session.session_key) end end
def store_session(session_key) if self.session_key != session_key update_attribute(:session_key, session_key) end end
# Re-create a Facebooker::Session object outside a request def facebook_session @facebook_session ||= returning Facebooker::Session.create do
session>
# Facebook sessions are good for only one hour storing session.secure_with!(session_key,facebook_id,1.hour.from_now) end end
Thanks a lot in advance to everybody!
