Hello Ben, Take a look at this simple example app
http://goo.gl/6tXxs http://code.google.com/r/michelecomitini-facebookaccess/source/browse/applications/#applications%2FhelloFacebook Web2py comes with support for oauth2.0 (for facebook auth) included, so take some time to understand how web2py works creating a simple app that requires authentication, read the web2py book on how to do it. Then copy the code from the app above to make your facebook app. It is much simpler than what you think... mic 2012/1/17 Ben Tammetta <[email protected]>: > 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?
