Hello hasin,
i started trying to build facebook apps reading your book but though book is good…many codes and ideas shown in the book is deprecated now…esp feeds and all…
it doesnt discuss many thing about extended permission and all(matter after platform changes)..

so i hope and suggest that new edition of book will be published soon with revised codes and all…
i wrote to packt pub as well but there was no response…
any way great book..
thanks for it

Hey,
when I try your example code it just shows up as “Greetings! Facebookuser”

The username is not displayed.

Is this a security issue?

Oooops ! Seems that i can’t put all the code, … new try:

require_once ‘lib-facebook/facebook.php’;
require_once ‘appconf.php’;
require_once ‘appinclude.php’;

$GLOBALS['facebook_config']['debug'] = false;

$appsession = ‘xxxxxxxxxx’;
$facebook = new Facebook($appapikey, $appsecret, $appsession);

mysql_connect($host, $dbuser, $dbpassword);
mysql_select_db($database) or die( “Unable to select database”);

$users = user_list (); // array id users

foreach ($users as $user)
{
$facebook->set_user($user, $appsession);
// script that does the jov via the API
}

mysql_close();

Hi Hasin,

i have a question… i have an auto update file that is called by a cron, and this file should modify either the profile or the status. But it seems that i have a problem. In fact it works when i called the file manually with the url, but not with the cron. I supposed it’s related to the FB session.

here is the code:

set_user($user, $appsession);
// script that does the jov via the API
}

mysql_close();

Do you have an idea ? it would great if you had time to give me your point of view !

Thanks a lot ! Bye

Just print any url type ref handler in his profile box using profile_setFBML() api. later, on the time of updating all you have to do is call fbml_refreshRefUrl() so that facebook re cache the content of this url.

one example please .
