  issue 90 (getLoggedInUser got "FacebookError: Error 102: Session key i...) commented on by markus.tornqvist   -   I had a behaviour when I created an app and created a tab for it, where the tab worked flawlessly for me, but when a friend tested it, request.facebook.uid was set to HIS uid(!) When it's installed on a page, it throws FacebookError: Error 102: Session key invalid or no longer valid Maybe related.

  issue 128 (support fql.multiquery) commented on by david.mirabito   -   I was also after this and ended up doing it myself, the patch is quite trivial. I've attached it, if someone could verify and commit it for me? It seems to work: queries = { 'myfriends' : "SELECT uid1 FROM friend WHERE uid2 = %s" % (fb.uid), 'stati' : "SELECT uid,name,status FROM user WHERE uid IN (SELECT uid1 FROM #myfriends) AND status.time > %d ORDER BY status.time" % 1259378001,# self.last_update, } stati = fb.fql.multiquery(queries) showdata(stati) would generate: [0] { fql_result_set : [{u'uid1': u'xxxx'}, <snip> {u'uid1': u'yyy'}] name : myfriends } [1] { fql_result_set : [{u'status': {u'message': u'Just had a wonderful time at the casa barilla cooking class!', u'status_id': xxx, u'time': 1259379313}, u'name': u'jane doe', u'uid': xxx}, {u'status': {u'message': u'would love a vodka now but will wait until Lucas party.', u'status_id': yyy, u'time': 1259387691}, u'name': u'John Doe', u'uid': yyy}, ] name : stati } which seems correct.

  issue 104 (Patch to fix incompatibility with python-json) commented on by nerdynick   -   Can we get this patch merged into the main release.

In the Facebook API, an "aid" corresponds to the two of these combined" Using the aid from photos.getAlbums results in the expected behavior.

  issue 53 (support for batch api) commented on by marcdurden   -   I have voted on this as I am in need of the batch api for pyfacebook. I a know how to use pyfacebook, and have been able to add in facebook api methods that were not included in the pyfacebook code, but I have not had success in getting batch.run to work with pyfacebook. how would i go about getting this working in pyfacebook? If you know of anywhere online that demonstrates how to add this into pyfacebook, even better. Any updates on supporting this feature?

  issue 127 (Iframe auth_token params cyclic redirect after install) reported by marcdurden   -   What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. create an iframe pyfacebook app engine with webapp not django 2. on facebook install this new app 3. upon successful install refresh the page 4. the app should start a nonstoppable looping redirect What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The expected outcome should be a refresh with no problems. Instead, the app starts a nonstoppable redirection loop going back and forth between asking to install the app and authorizing the app. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Just downloaded the code from github. Please provide any additional information below. Here is a discussion on the facebook forums about this, but it is in relation to django and I'm using webapp: http://forum.developers.facebook.com/viewtopic.php?pid=159266 My code is similar to the code which is seen here, also documenting the same problem. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1116314/how-does-one-avoid-a-cyclic-redirect-when-writing-a-facebook-application-using-py

  issue 122 (pyFacebook fails to do auth.getSession() with python 2.3) reported by vlad43210   -   What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. running pyFacebook under python 2.3 or earlier 2. requiring user login What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I discovered this issue as a new facebook app developer. When going through the tutorial, I got all the way up to requiring login (facebook.require_login()) and then my app would throw up a HTTP 500 error instead of presenting me with test output (my name). It is important to note that the error shows up AFTER I login, so the login screen is brought up (and indeed, Facebook gives the app an auth_key) What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? pyFacebook 0.1, Django 1.0.2 final, mod_wsgi 2.5, Python 2.3.4, Apache 2.1 on Fedora Core 3. Please provide any additional information below. I seem to have tracked the error down to two sources: ISSUE 1 : -the "@" decorator symbol is not used until 2.4. Workaround: get PyProtocols (I have 0.9.3) and use: from peak.util.decorators import decorate import facebook.djangofb as facebook decorate(decorate(facebook.require_login()) def canvas(request): ISSUE 2 : -sorted() is not used until python 2.4. The initializer file for the facebook module, facebook/__ini__.py, used sorted() in two different locations. Workaround: use sort instead of sorted, be careful about changing original lists. I realize that Python 2.3 is kind of old, but it's a stable version, and comes built into Fedora Core 3, so in case anybody is working on an old machine, maybe they don't have to repeat my troubleshooting efforts :) If this belongs somewhere else on the site (like the Wiki) I apologize, let me know and I will move it / delete it if able. Thanks, Vladimir

  issue 50 (auth.getSession() not working. ) commented on by achew22   -   I was playing with this and I found that for me it was an issue with the BROWSER environment variable being set to something that wouldn't load. In my case it was set to links and it wasn't loading (didn't figure out why that was) but when I set BROWSER=firefox before running my script it then opened a page in firefox to validate my login. I changed the script a little in login so that it would print a login link no matter what so that if it failed to load (like if I was SSHing into a remote computer to test it out) I could copy the link. This is definitely not a good fix for production but it works for me and might provide some solutions to this. Best of luck

  issue 118 (How to handle Post-Remove URL) reported by m...@micz.it   -   I wasn't able to get the user id in the "Post-Remove URL" pinged by facebook ( more info here: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/ Post-Remove_URL ). This because the check_session function returned always False. So in def check_session(self, request) after self.in_canvas = (request.POST.get('fb_sig_in_canvas') == '1') I added these lines if (request.POST.get('fb_sig_uninstall') == '1'): params = self.validate_signature(request.POST) if 'user' in params: self.uid = params['user'] return True return False I don't know if this is the right approach, but now it works. Any feedback is welcomed, thanks.

  issue 54 (support for zope/plone (patch provided)) commented on by ianfhood   -   I haven't touched the code since it was written, but I do hope it will be a useful starter. Btw the above says it's based on r160 but the filename implies r116 so I no longer can say which it really was (I'd suggest you compare the revision dates). Since this file was somehow not kept here I also started a project page for it (just in case) which is available at: http://code.google.com/p/pyfacebook4zope/downloads/list Good luck.

  issue 115 (Does not work with CGI) reported by mjs7231   -   Cookies are parsed incorrectly if running python via CGI. In fact, the whole verification area could be cleaned up and modularized a bit. If you want help adding CGI support let me know. I'm working on a hacked fix now, will update this if I get it working.

Its the same as this: http://forum.developers.facebook.com/viewtopic.php?id=20846 The problem looks more and more like a purely pyfacebook problem. It formats (for no apparent reason) 64 bit values to 32 bit. Even on a 64 bit machine.

  issue 108 (Pyfacebook cant handle large numbers. So cant handle album i...) reported by chokosabe   -   What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. try and save an album id (aid) with the call photos.createAlbum 2. 3. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Pyfacebook needs a way of being able to handle 64 bit values. Rightnow the 64bit values are 'edited' in json. So the user/server always sees the edited value. Should expect the aid values (album id) instead always get the number: 2174902547419030016 the real aid in this case should be: 2174902547419028373 What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Using version 0.1 of pyfacebook. Please provide any additional information below.

  issue 98 (SyntaxError: invalid syntax return ''.join(node.data for no...) commented on by lady.alys   -   The hashlib problem can be fixed for Python 2.3 and 2.4 because hashlib has been backported for use on those versions and can be downloaded from http://code.krypto.org/python/hashlib/ (much praise to Gregory P. Smith!) After installing hashlib, I was then able to run "djangofb.py startapp APPNAME" without any other errors. I realise this comment is off-topic for the original issue report, but I'm guessing that anyone facing that issue would also run into the hashlib problem, so I hope this is useful to them!

  issue 98 (SyntaxError: invalid syntax return ''.join(node.data for no...) commented on by lady.alys   -   WARNING: This is my first day of programming in Python, so be careful if you use what I describe below. I resolved this problem on my own server by editing line 816 to put square brackets inside the parentheses, like this: return ''.join([node.data for node in node.childNodes if node.nodeType == node.TEXT_NODE]) The square brackets seem to be necessary for the list comprehension to work, at least in python 2.3 and 2.4. I then had to make the same fix in another line, to change this: args[arg[0]] = ','.join(str(a) for a in arg[1]) to this: args[arg[0]] = ','.join([str(a) for a in arg[1]]) That got rid of all the invalid syntax errors. However, I then was shown this error: $ djangofb.py startapp fbapp Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/mydir/pyfacebook/bin/djangofb.py", line 57, in ? import facebook File "/home/mydir/pyfacebook/facebook/__init__.py", line 55, in ? import hashlib ImportError: No module named hashlib A google search showed that hashlib.py is new in Python version 2.5, so it looks like pyfacebook won't work under 2.4 or lower (unless enough changes are made to make hashlib unnecessary). This might be why the original list comprehensions didn't contain square brackets - perhaps 2.4 removed the need for square brackets?
