It appears that pyfacebook does not support the required_permissions argument to require_login, unlike Facebook's php API: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Extended_permissions#Requiring_Extended_Permissions. Is this deliberate? Is there any plan to add support for this? Also, is there a workaround that would automatically prompt users adding an FBML app and "logging into" the app for the first time for extended permissions?

I've posted the same question to stackoverflow.com: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2440327/require-extended-permissions-in-fbml-pyfacebook-app

I tried to use this library with my integrated app in Django, without success.

For hours I tried to figure out why my app was looping to Facebook when using @facebook.require_login().

I followed different examples («fbsample/», different approaches in StackOverflow, forums, etcetera). I even tried to use the «fbsample/» app without modifications (except for FACEBOOK_API_KEY and FACEBOOK_SECRET_KEY, not a single line) and it's not working either.

Could you please try your own example code in order to see if it's working?

Thanks

The method template for pages.getInfo is as follows:

'pages': { 'getInfo': [ ('page_ids', list, ['optional']), ('uid', int, ['optional']), ],

This causes an Error 100 if one tries to use the getInfo method in a manner similar to users.getInfo. I think the parameters should be:

'pages': { 'getInfo': [ ('fields', list, [('default', ['name'])]), ('page_ids', list, ['optional']), ],

to conform with the API. I could be wrong, however; I've jsut started using PyFacebook.

Thats the error I found while trying to install. I will be looking for a solution.

Hello,

I'm having issues running python 2.7 with pyfacebook through wsgi with django1.2.3. This works fine using python 2.6 running locally using python manage.py runserver(django version 1.2.1). I can use the interpreter and import facebook.djangofb and make all the calls I make in my script but when I try to use it in django, it simply doesn't work on the server running python 2.7 so I know the version is not the issue. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

I am getting following problem when I ran the tests\test.py

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/source/pyfacebook/tests\tests.py", line 227, in test10 import Image ImportError: No module named Image

Running pyfacebook by itself causes an error to be generated.

python version 2.4.3

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. got latest init.py, renamed to facebook.py and dropped in same directory as my simple gt.py script.

2. script looks as follows:

   !/usr/local/bin/python

   import sys from facebook import Facebook

   sys.stderr = sys.stdout

   print "Content-Type: text/xml" # HTML is following print # blank line, end of headers

   print "Hello World: running version ",sys.version

   fb = Facebook('', '') fb.auth.createToken() fb.login() fb.auth.getSession() fb.users.getInfo([fb.uid], ['name', 'birthday'])

   print ""

3. view script via browser (Chrome v1)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? expected: html page displaying "hello world python 2.4.3"

instead error with stacktrace printed:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "gt.py", line 14, in ? fb.auth.createToken() File "/home/clientsi/public_html/northshore/gt/facebook.py", line 602, in createToken token = self._client('%s.createToken' % self._name) File "/home/clientsi/public_html/northshore/gt/facebook.py", line 1002, in call return self._parse_response(response, method) File "/home/clientsi/public_html/northshore/gt/facebook.py", line 941, in _parse_response dom = minidom.parseString(response) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/xml/dom/minidom.py", line 1924, in parseString File "/usr/lib/python2.4/xml/dom/expatbuilder.py", line 32, in ?

New permissions dialog seems to required additional parameters.

You can try the new dialog in your Canvas application settings in Facebook (Developer App -> Your App -> Settings -> Migrations -> "New Data Permissions" -> Enable)

and then catch error:

API Error Code: 100
API Error Description: Invalid parameter
Error Message: Requires valid next URL.

Guess all of us may hit the issue in June because "(Migration ends on: June 1, 2010)"

Hi, I have been trying to solve this myself, but I cannot make any sense of it.

When I enable XFBML, my app will only log in the user once maybe twice, and then they get sent to the frontpage with a new auth_token attached to the url.

I have a thread about it here and the suggestion from XaeroDegreaz seems to be a bit off, but I am not sure. THREADLINK: http://forum.developers.facebook.com/viewtopic.php?pid=218519

Maybe this is not affection pyFacebook directly but it is causing it to deliver a cookie/session to the XFBML parser that is then changed for some reason and therefor nothing works.

Could someone with a greater understanding of pyFacebook please take a look in my thread and see if there is anything that can be done on this end, or I will have to continue hitting the facebook dev in the head till they stop breaking things for no reason.

Many thanks for any hepl you might be able to give. If you need any more info, just say the word and I will try to produce it as fast as I can.

fb.application.getPublicInfo(application_canvas_name="name")
DEBUG: {'api_key': '000000000000my_key00000000000000', 'format': 'XML', 'application_canvas_name ': 'name', 'method': 'facebook.application.getPublicInfo', 'v': '1.0'}

The DEBUG line is just a printout of the args argument to _hash_args(self, args, secret=None)

Notice that for some reason there is a ' ' space character after the application_canvas_name. This is causing signatures to fail.

The issue is on line 121 of facebook/init.py, http://github.com/sciyoshi/pyfacebook/blob/95fa6c33f002fb0b550df8ecb8619f9491848ec0/facebook/init.py#L121

I don't know if I'm missing something but I cannot get to run the django example project. These are the steps I followed:

1. Downloaded the project to my computer
2. Created a VirtualEnv bundle wit django 1.1.4 in examples/fbsamples
3. Edited settings.py and added FACEBOOK_API_KEY and FACEBOOK_SECRET_KEY with values of an existing app I own.
4. Copied the facebook folder to examples/fbsamples (didn't install but this much should be enough)
5. Ran the project with 'python manage.py runserver' and opened the address 127.0.0.1:8000/fbsample/ in Chrome

This only redirects me to my timelime. I'm using a mac with Lion and Python 2.7.1

set_status works fine for my personal fb page. I was just wondering if it is possible to set status message of the fb page i created using this api ?

For example if i own and manage a FB page say blah blah music band, will it be possible to update its status message using pyfacebook automatically ?

It was working just fine at one point, I seem to be intermittently getting this, any ideas?
