Facebook not appending apps.facebook.com

This is probably something specific to my facebook account, but when I reply to the karate poke invitation request (click attack) facebook appends my url ‘app/invitations/new?userid’ to www.facebook.com not apps.facebook.com. The same thing occurs when I respond to a karate poke invitation (from apps.facebook.com/karate_poke). Any ideas?

This is what happens when you leave out a :canvas=>true from one of the links. Is this on the main KaratePoke application? If so, I will make sure it gets fixed when I push the next release

Doesn’t seem to be making any difference at all to me – even if I set :canvas=>false or omit that parameter at all I still get a relative path.

Any suggestions?

There is a problem with chapter 3. new_invitation_path should be new_invitation_url. Can you try changing that? It should be fixed in the next beta.

Sorry about that!

I’ll try that right now! Thanks for the timely response.

Question for you developer to developer – I really have trouble reading rdocs and gleaning anything meaningful about learning a new plugin, or rails feature, etc. After 11 years of developement I don’t feel like I’m a dummy reading package and API docs – any tips on how to go about it in Ruby/Rails?

Keep up the good work buddy.

Perfect! That did it Mike.

Thanks!

I’m using something like new_xxxs_url (instead of path as suggested above), but getting a url http://apps.facebook.com//app_name//xxxs.

Anyone know why the double /s occurring and how to get rid of them?

I’m having a similar issue with the double slashes, but an additional issue as well. Even running the chapter 3 source code from the book directly produces: http://apps.facebook.com/http://apps.facebook.c…

when trying to send an invitation.

Oh, just figured it out. In the facebooker.yml file, the book tells you to supply the full url for the canvas_page_name, but make sure it’s just the canvas name by itself.

Here is what mine was:

canvas_page_name: http://apps.facebook.com/appname/

Here is what I changed it to:

canvas_page_name: appname

Good catch Geoff. In my case changing the canvas_page_name from /appname/ to just appname did the job.
