Flash not surviving a redirect in Facebook on a Rails application
J. Pablo Fernández
I'm not really sure if this is related to Facebooker but if someone
knows what's going on it must be people using Facebooker
I have the following two action methods:
def index
puts "==index== flash: #{flash.inspect}"
end
def create
flash[:notice] = "Blah"
puts "==create== flash: #{flash.inspect}"
redirect_to(:action => :index)
end
index.fbml.erb contains this:
<%= button_to_with_facebooker "Blah!", :action => :create %>
The application is used through Facebook. I click the button and the
flash contains the notice while create is being executed, but after
that it's empty again. It doesn't survive a redirect.
Any ideas what's going on here?
Thanks.

This situation still appears to occur with 1.0.63. No flash contents
after a redirect.

Sorry - false alarm. I had an old facebooker plugin installed as well
as the current gem. All is well.

Did have to configure something?
It's not working for me, when using 1.0.64 :(

I'm afraid all I did to fix it was to remove the old plugin and make
sure I had the 1.0.64 gem installed.
Also, I'm only testing this with Karate Poke application in Mike's book.

Yes, I spoke too soon - I'm seeing the same thing. Sometimes it works
and sometimes it doesn't.

I have already deployed my app and it relys on the flash hash because
i am utilising it to temporarily store data for the publisher
without the fb_publisher my app wont spread :(

I wouldn't use the cookie store, I would use the activerecord store and use the facebook session id for the session key.

We were using the cookie store, and tested the app using Firefox (Mac/
Win Version)
We also tried to use the activerecord store but with this
configuration it didnt work at all (we didn't consider setting a
session key, maybe that was the problem)
We are running on rails 1.3.6.
We switched to memcached and everything works fine now :)
I'll try your advice the day after tomorrow, since I am to busy with
work until then.
