I’m trying to pull all of the posts on a users wall. I got an example running that connects to FB okay, but when I try to use FB.api to get the username (I am definitely successfully connected), I get FB.api is not a function. Some searching found this which suggests that I’m using the wrong API link, but when I try the new one (which seems to connect using the same method) everything firebug NET panel says it loads successfully, there are no errors. . . nothing happens at all.

Here is the code (replace the http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js link with http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php for the code to work up until the error I mentioned):

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
<head>
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function grab(){
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
  alert(response.name);
  });
}
function update_user_box() {
var user_box = document.getElementById("user");
user_box.innerHTML =
"<div>"
+ "<fb:profile-pic uid='loggedinuser' facebook-logo='true'></fb:profile-pic>"
+ " Welcome, <fb:name uid='loggedinuser' useyou='false'></fb:name>"
+ "</div>"
+ "<a href=\"javascript:grab()\">try me</a>";
FB.XFBML.Host.parseDomTree();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>


<div id='user'><fb:login-button onlogin="update_user_box();"></fb:login-button></div>
<br><br>

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
FB.init("b07e858317c9069d450023b7500b4511", "xd_receiver.htm", {"ifUserConnected": update_user_box});

</script>
</body>
</html>

thanks for any and all help!

    I guess you are not intializing correctly. I had similar issues… it was not clear to me which one is oAuth2.0 and which FB-Connect. It seemed confusing. I followed the example (below), it worked for me. See here

    <div id="fb-root"></div>
 <script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
 <script>
   FB.init({
     appId  : 'YOUR APP ID',
     status : true, // check login status
     cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
     xfbml  : true  // parse XFBML
   });
 </script>

    Hope this helps.

    On a side note, you might need extended permission to access publish_stream, read_stream. You should refer here
