Hello, I have developed a few apps for facebook using PHP but I really want switch future development to web2py.
I have not found any good updated base facebook web2py apps to start from. A lot of the FB python code I have found applies to Django or assumes you will be using google app engine which I am not. I have created modules and tried 3 versions of a facebook.py file I have found 1) https://github.com/pythonforfacebook/facebook-sdk 2) The order code from the hellowfacebook web2py example 3) https://github.com/facebook/fbconsole I have included the Javascript SDK in my web2py view found here. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/ Since I understand it is best to set and grab cookies and initiate a login and session with the JS SDK I also tried mods of recommend code here but can't get it to work either. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2727118/getting-facebook-oauth-access-token-through-python-sdk-does-not-seem-to-be-worki I am still new to web2py so maybe I have something in the wrong place or have not declared or imported things properly. in my default.py I can import any facebook module code I use with import facebook But where do I put this code that actually calls the defs and objects? in my controller? another module or view? cookie = facebook.get_user_from_cookie(self.request.cookies, FACEBOOK_APP_ID, FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET) graph = facebook.GraphAPI(cookie["access_token"]) current_user = graph.get_object("me") So my questions are... 1) Is there a base application with up-to-date code I can use to create a FB canvas or tab page app that creates a link for a user to login, let's me grab the cookie/access token from the JS SDK and pull some info from the FB graph api. 2) which python FB classes or API or SDK should I use and import to best use with web2py. 3) where is the best place to place the code that calls the facebook class defs and methods? In a controller, controller def, module or view? Thanks for any input. Ben
