I have a site that allows a user to login using their facebook login

  • 0

I have a site that allows a user to login using their facebook login id through a RPX system. When the user posts a comment in my site, I want it to automatically post the comment on their facebook wall too. How can I do this using Rails?
I’ve been learning the facebooker plugin for a couple of days and still can’t figure out how to do it.
Are there any easy ways to do this? I got the user’s facebook email and id from rpx and just want to post something on their news feed/wall, it is just this simple and it already caused me a headache on how to solve this.

Thanks

    Ah, Facebook. You’re in for some fun.

    I’m not sure how RPX works. I know it abstracts the details so it can support multiple social networks.

    I’ve gotten this working using standard Facebook Connect (not RPX). You need to ask the user for the status_update extended permission. Once you get that, you can post status updates with Users.setStatus.

    I recommend looking into the RPX documentation to see if they have something similar.
