Create Event - Missing or invalid image file

[themire]

Hi,

I'm using facebooker to create events. It usually works fine, but I'm
having some strange behaviour today.

When I try to push an event to a page (of which I'm an admin) I get
the following error :

Facebooker::Session::MissingOrInvalidImageFile: Missing or invalid
image file

But, when I try to push the exact same info, with the same image, to a
different page from a different user (who is admin of that page) it
works fine.

This leads me to think it's nothing to do with the image being invalid
and something to do with the permissions or page permissions
somewhere.

Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks,
Julian

This is using the old REST API I should add.

I'm getting the same issue. Did you happen to figure this out?

Posting to an account works fine, adding in a page_id causes the error
you mention. Taking out the image with a page_id works fine. My
guess is its a Facebook related issue.

Mike,

also....

Now I'm not sure that this code actually works with an iFrame application. Does it? Actually I'm just not sure I'm starting in the right place.

Does someone know where the basic Facebook iFrame setup information is? I'm having a hard time finding stuff on Facebook's developer site now that they changed it all around.

<%= fb_connect_async_js %>
<% if current_facebook_user %>
<%= "Welcome #{current_facebook_user.first_name} #{current_facebook_user.last_name}!" %>
or
<%= "Hello #{fb_name(current_facebook_user, :useyou => false)}!" # link to facebook profile
%>
<%= fb_logout_link("Logout of fb", request.url) %><br />
<% else
# you must explicitly request permissions for facebook user fields.
# here we instruct facebook to ask the user for permission for our website
# to access the user's facebook email and birthday
%>
<%= fb_login_and_redirect('<your URL here>', :perms => 'email,user_birthday') %>
<% end %>

Thanks,
Jason

Mike,

Couple of things re Facebooker

1) I'm trying to start a new app with Facebooker2 and Rails3. Am I crazy?

So far, things look OK, but on this page here

http://github.com/mmangino/facebooker2

It says you can use this:
<%= fb_connect_async_js %>

But in Rails 3 actually you need to do this

<% fb_connect_async_js %>

2) Can I help write some more documentation for Facebooker2? Is there a Wiki? I'd be happy to write down all the things I discover -- just not sure the move efficient way to record all the stuff I run into -- is this forum the best place to document it?

Thanks,
Jason

I haven't tried Rails3 other than just http://www.islentilbornyet.com (which isn't the most complex site ever :) So everything is just a guess

The best bet is to fork facebooker2 and update the README. When you're happy with the docs, send me a pull request and I'll pull in your changes.

OK cool Mike, I'll do that.

By the way, upon further experimentation, i realized that this:

<%= fb_connect_async_js %>

should actually be this in Rails 3:

<%= raw(fb_connect_async_js) %>

I'll fork the git repo and work on the README. Looks OK with Rails 3 but there are lots of little things that might have to be tweeked so I'll look through the code too for those also.

Anybody have any ideas where to find info on writing a Facebook iFrame app? I know there's some javascript I have to load inside my iFrame, but I can't find where it is documented on Facebook's developer site. If anyone has the URL handy I'd appreciate it.

yeah, we call our son Peanut. We decided to stick with legumes and nicknamed the second one lentil. If we have a third I guess they will go by garbanzo :)

Did you ever happen to figure out what was happening here?  I am having the same issue for a client's project and have no idea why.  Posting an image returns this error for one account, but posting to another account/page works fine.

Thanks,

Chris
