trying to save access token and user data to database

[Michael Mitchell]

Hi, I'm playing around with a clone of this Koala example app https://github.com/banane/sample-koala-rails-app . However, the author of it doesn't save user data to a database. I'm trying to add that in. 

I created this method on the User model which is invoked from the callback method. However, I'm getting this save error

undefined method `save!' for #<Class:0x00000100b51ea8>

Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

User.rb

def self.oath(access_token, graphdata)

    

  

    name = graphdata[:name]

    first_name = graphdata[:first_name]

    last_name = graphdata[:last_name]

    username = graphdata[:username]

    gender = graphdata[:gender]

    email = graphdata[:email]

    access_token = access_token

  save!

  end

home_controller.rb (callback method)

def callback

  if params[:code]

  # acknowledge code and get access token from FB

 session[:access_token] = session[:oauth].get_access_token(params[:code])

end

# auth established, now do a graph call:

@api = Koala::Facebook::API.new(session[:access_token])

begin

@user_info = @api.get_object("me")

@graph_data = @api.get_object("/me/statuses", "fields"=>"message")

rescue Exception=>ex

puts ex.message

end

user = User.oath(session[:access_token], @user_info)

session[:user_id] = user.id

  

  respond_to do |format|

format.html {   }  

end

end

Hi- I'm the author :)

I think something's wrong with the way you setup the model - I can check your github code.

Oh, you didn't fork it publicly. OK, if you can post here your model info, or offline, or add a github issue we can talk about the code in ref to line #s.

Hi Anna,

Thanks a lot for taking an interest. I just put it on Github  https://github.com/MikeOnRails/koalatestapp

I'm not very experienced and probably lacking in talent for coding, so there might be multiple problems with what I'm doing.

OK, setup a quick User model and added it into the example. I'll upload a branch called "userdata" to github so you can see it.

Basically:

- on command line "rails generate model User name:string access:string ...." all the fields you want in it.

- rake db:migrate

In HomeController, create a new User with teh following, once you have access_token back:

user = User.new(:access=>access_token)

user.save

Start server, click to auth. View returned graph data.

To verify that that the User save worked, I go into rails console, query all users:

"users = User.all"

You will see the user you just created and saved.

Hi Anna,

thanks, One question though. In the app, I pushed to github, I tried not only to save the access_token, but also to get information (name, first name, email) from the @graph_data about the user and save it in the model. I think it's trickier to save the access_token together with this user information data...If possible, can you include that in your example

Branch that saves to a model/db:

https://github.com/banane/sample-koala-rails-app/tree/userdata

Here is an example where I create a scaffolded User model, and save info to it from Facebook when it's available.

For graph info- it's many-to-one, so you should probably create a new model like "feedstream" or "posts" and then save to that.

Cheers

Anna
