Drupal for Facebook ------------------- More information: http://www.drupalforfacebook.org, http://drupal.org/project/fb Primary author and maintainer: Dave Cohen (http://www.dave-cohen.com/contact) Do NOT contact the maintainer with a question that can be easily answered with a web search. You will not receive a reply. Branch: HEAD (version 3.x for Drupal 6.x) This file is more current than online documentation. When in doubt, trust this file. Online documentation: http://drupal.org/node/195035, has more detail. To upgrade: - Read the upgrade instructions: http://drupal.org/node/936958 To install: - Make sure you have an up-to-date PHP client from facebook. Download from http://github.com/facebook/php-sdk. Extract the files, and place them in sites/all/libraries/facebook-php-sdk. Or, To find the php-sdk in any other directory, edit your settings.php to include a line similar to this (add to section where $conf variable is defined, or very end of settings.php. And customize the path as needed.): $conf['fb_api_file'] = 'sites/all/libraries/facebook-php-sdk/src/facebook.php'; - Your theme needs the following attribute at the end of the <html> tag: xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" Typically, this means editing your theme's page.tpl.php file. See http://www.drupalforfacebook.org/node/1106. Note this applies to themes used for Facebook Connect, iframe Canvas Pages, and Social Plugins (i.e. like buttons). Without this attribute, IE will fail. - To support canvas pages, url rewriting and other settings must be initialized before modules are loaded, so you must add this code to your settings.php. This is easily done by adding these two lines to the end of sites/_____/settings.php (usually sites/default/settings.php). include "sites/all/modules/fb/fb_url_rewrite.inc"; include "sites/all/modules/fb/fb_settings.inc"; (Remember to change the path if modules/fb is not in sites/all.) - Go to Administer >> Site Building >> Modules and enable the Facebook modules. Enable fb.module for Social Plugins. Enable fb_devel.module and keep it enabled until you have everything set up. You should disable this on your live server once you are certain facebook features are working. (Note this requires http://drupal.org/project/devel, which is well worth installing anyway.) Enable fb_app.module and fb_user.module if you plan to create facebook applications. Enable fb_connect.module for Facebook Connect and/or fb_canvas.module for Canvas Page apps. To support Facebook Connect and/or Canvas Pages, read on... - You must enable clean URLs. If you don't, some links that drupal creates will not work properly on canvas pages. - Create an application on Facebook, currently at http://www.facebook.com/developers/editapp.php?new. Fill in the minimum required to get an apikey and secret. If supporting canvas pages, get a canvas name, too. - Go to Administer >> Site Building >> Facebook Applications and click the Add Applicaiton tab. Use the apikey and secret that Facebook has shown you. If you have any trouble with the other fields, use Facebook's documentation to figure it out. When you submit your changes, Drupal for Facebook will automatically set the callback URL and some other properties which help it work properly. Troubleshooting: --------------- Reread this file and follow instructions carefully. Read http://drupal.org/node/933994, and all the module documentation on drupal.org. Enable the fb_devel.module and add the block it provides (called "Facebook Devel Page info") to the footer of your Facebook theme. Disable Global Redirect, if you have that module installed. Users have reported problems with it and Drupal for Facebook. Bug reports and feature requests may be submitted. Here's an idea: check the issue queue before you submit http://drupal.org/project/issues/fb If you do submit an issue, start the description with "I read the README.txt from start to finish," and you will get a faster, more thoughtful response. Seriously, prove that you read this far. Below are more options for your settings.php. Add the PHP shown below to the very end of your settings.php, and modify the paths accordingly (i.e. where I use "sites/all/modules/fb", you might need "profiles/custom/modules/fb"). //// Code to add to settings.php: ///////////////////////////////// /** * Drupal for Facebook settings. */ if (!is_array($conf)) $conf = array(); $conf['fb_verbose'] = TRUE; // debug output //$conf['fb_verbose'] = 'extreme'; // for verbosity fetishists. // More efficient connect session discovery. // Required if supporting one connect app and different canvas apps. //$conf['fb_apikey'] = '123.....XYZ'; // Your connect app's apikey goes here. // Enable URL rewriting (for canvas page apps). include "sites/all/modules/fb/fb_url_rewrite.inc"; include "sites/all/modules/fb/fb_settings.inc"; // end of settings.php
