Question

I want to start out by generating a model to hold this information:

rails g model UserData UID:string birthday:string likes:string location:string \n
activities:string books:string movies:string music:string tv:string \n
interests:string post_count:string friend_count:string

Then I rake the DB.

Then I create the file $RAILS_ROOT/jobs/update_facebook.rb:

config = YAML::load(File.open("#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/facebook.yml"));
APP_ID = CONFIG['app_id']
fetching_app = FbGraph::Application.new(config['APP_ID']);
access_token = fetching_app.get_access_token(config['production']['client_secret']);

#Don't know what else to put in here

Answer 1

This one was simpler than I made it out to be. Just added columns to the User model with a migration:

rails g migration AddDetailsToUsers likes:string bookes:string etc.

Then just rake the migration, and add the following to the controller:

@graph = Koala::Facebook::GraphAPI.new(current_user.token)
current_user.likes = @graph.get_connections("me", "likes")
#Ditto for the other permissions
current_user.save
