Question

I’m trying to build a feature into my framework wrapper that automates registering template bundles. I’ve gotten to the point where it seems like I can do so successfully using the Feed.registerTemplateBundle API method – I don’t get an error, and I do get a template id back. However, the template doesn’t show up in the “Registered Templates Console”, and if I try to publish a story using the id, it gives me an “invalid template bundle id” error.

Any suggestions?

Turns out there were two problems:

• I was erroneously double-json-encoding the short story template
• Facebook was accepting the erroneously-formatting calls and returning an id, thus resulting in the creation of “phantom” template bundles that weren’t showing up in their console.

I’ve fixed my code, and the bug has been reported (and I believe since fixed).
