[Beta] Facebook

I have completely re-written this extension to update it for the new API changes (New release this week). There is nothing we can do about FB changing things all the time, but I am actively maintaining this extension and I am not going anywhere. :)

It looks great but if it's not going to be maintained it's completely useless.

Yes I could but the problem I have described is one that is very real for another extension I need assistance with another extension developer who made the extension a few years ago.

I am not sure about the arcade, I will check into that. You can post on any wall as long as you have the required permission to do so. :)

Here is the updated version. I had to rewrite most of the extension due to the api changes, and there is still a lot to add. Previous projects should be fully compatible with this new version, though.

Updated API Calls:

• Post Messages To Wall
• Post Pictures To Wall
• Post Links To Wall
• Post Video/SWF files To Wall
• ID
• Name
• First Name
• Last Name
• Link
• Birthday
• Gender
• Timezone
• Location
• Username
• Third Party ID
• Updated Time
• About
• Bio
• Email
• Hometown
• Interested In
• Political
• Quotes
• Relationship Status
• Significant Other
• Website
• Verified

Important Notes:

• This extension can be used from a Facebook App, or Standalone SWF.
• If used with a Facebook App, you must change your Canvas URL to point to your html file, instead of the swf file.

• You must use the included html file (included in the Help folder, make sure to change your swf name and your apps width and height) to embed your swf files, instead of the one created with MMF2, otherwise FB will not connect/validate the session correctly.

Thanks a bunch Stephen for all your work!

This will only work for interacting with the html directly.

Thanks guys. :)

Hi
Sorry to ask this but: I can´t find the tutorial anymore. The fb extension includes 2 links - they also didnt bring me to the tutorials. I wonder if there is a basic example of how to include the facebook extension in a game or maybe someone can post the tutorial pdf again.
thx guys!

Voici une application pour Facebook par exemple j'ai mis à jour pour fonctionner avec la dernière version de l'extension.

Here is an example app for Facebook I updated to work with the latest version of the extension.

Latest Facebook Extension

Note: Make sure to replace the app id with your own!

sorry stephen, i tried you're example with a fresh new facebook app (i didnt change anything exept the app id), it askes me for permissions,
but it always shows "not logged in")

I've set the parameters in the fb developer center (user_about_me, publish_stream)

hmmm. what went wrong here, Stephen?!? you can try it here: http://hirterspiel.justanapp.at/mmftest.html

EDIT:

btw, i've tried your app on facebook (http://apps.facebook.com/184260034957393/) and i expierienced the same problem. It ask me for permission, but i'm never logged in :(

Any news on this? Seems like the Facebook API changed since then and it must get updated. Is this happening anytime soon? I would love to hear some (good) news :D

Thanks for all your work Stephen.


Keep it up,
Tompa

Sorry to bump, Stephen - but is there a solution in sight? Does Facebook response?

Thanks for your time!

Hi Stephen!

Do you have a solution or idea if this great extension can be re-activated?

thanks

StingRay - I'm not sure if Stephen has seen this thread I'll point him to it when I see him, however, speaking from a general point of view...

The biggest issue with FB as I'm sure you're aware is the way they keep changing the API's. It's very hard to keep up with them, just when you think you have a stable API, BAM > They change everything around lol

Thanks, Danny - i know, facebook and it's kind of way handling their api is Strange - hopefully they will keep the actual One ;)

Hi matte.

Facebook has changed the way they do the api for the 18th time, so this extension is currently not updated. However, if you can give me a little more time, I have a new Facebook extension in the works, that will work in all runtimes and is a lot easier to use. ;)

:D wow fantastico! non vedo ora di vederla e di poterla usare, spero presto! :) grazie mille ;)
