Sucks to be working hard on your Tamagotchi armadillo + tumblelogging viral Facebook mashup and see:

update

Official documentation is here.

install

As usual, it lives in the Fauna. Install via Piston, or otherwise the old-school way:

script/plugin install -x svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/fauna/facebook_exceptions/trunk

No tarballs/gems yet. Requires edge Rails, probably.

What is the bigger picture here? How are Rails and Facebook interacting?

Ben says (July 12, 2007):

Great work Evan, really handy for developing Rails-based Facebook apps.

jare care says (July 12, 2007):

Nice work, Evan. I’ll definitely check this out.

Jonathan George says (July 12, 2007):

Just a heads up—I had to add unloadable following the class ApplicationController line:

class ApplicationController
  unloadable

  def facebook_rescues_path(template_name)
...

Related to http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/6001 (see the last comment on the ticket).

evan says (July 13, 2007):

That fix didn’t work for me… instead I had to remove unloadable from both regular ApplicationController (app/controllers/application.rb) and the version in facebook_exceptions.rb to get the overrides to stay loaded.

What Rails version are you using?

Lior says (July 13, 2007):

This looks great—can you please elaborate on how to use it and install it for the less experienced?

I got the files from SVN—what is the next step?

evan says (July 14, 2007):

If you ran the command above from the root of your Rails app, there isn’t any next step.

See Geoff’s article for more information on plugins.

Lior >> Put the directory it in your vendor/plugins/ directory and it will load automagically.
