A little time ago I made a template for developing CF apps for Facebook using FBML (facbook markup language). The template works great in CF6.1 & 7.
Someone has just messaged me though saying that they are getting a Null pointer exception when trying to use it in CF8. Ode to joy. Looking at the error report leads us to line 137 of the following java file: http://www.koders.com/java/fidE491E3DD1424C1E471159A681F9C1CF6D7238887.aspx(source view) This looks like it has to do with CF server side validation which raised problems with FB in CF6-7. Those issues were easily fixed in but this one is stumping us. The template in question contains only very simple code and can be downloaded here: http://dev.dominicwatson.co.uk/downloads/facebooktemplate.zip Any ideas?
