great post, and thanks for the assists, everyone. i just wanted to clear 1 thing up for future googlers:

:jquery) %>

is the tag you jQuery folks may be looking for if you’re having trouble.

thanks

I had the same problem with the element.observe. I’m using mootools. I removed the init_fb_connect “XFBML” and wrote this javascript instead

window.addEvent(’domready’, function() {
FB_RequireFeatures(["XFBML"], function() {
FB.init(’0a3d09575ec0586cc776c78a55489832′,’/xd_receiver.html’, {});
});
});

I get the button to show up now

OH COOME OON !!!

I am getting a javascript error in the script generatet by these lines:

fb_connect_javascript_tag
init_fb_connect “XFBML”
fb_login_and_redirect(’/player/player’)

and the blue button doesn’t appear.
The error is:
Element.observe is not a function

Here is the source code:

“text/javascript”
[CDATA[
Element.observe(window,'load', function() {
FB_RequireFeatures(["XFBML"], function() {
FB.init(’17d56e9a114f18b8eb2bbb30540eed14′,’/xd_receiver.html’, {});

fb:login-button onlogin=”window.location.href = "/player/player";”
fb:login-button

hi Wayne, thanks for reading !

It’s not the same problem, in this case facebook_login_users_path is the name of a route in my particular project as I mentioned in the post. So instead of that you should put the path to the action you want to redirect the users after they login using facebook connect.

In this case it’s the facebook_login action in the users controller.

I’m having the same problem as BRAm as well…

undefined local variable or method `facebook_login_users_path’

fb_connect.rb file is in /vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/rails/helpers

Hey BRam!

I would make sure that the plugin is corretly installed. You can find that helper inside the fb_connect.rb file. Go to “your app root”/vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/rails/helpers and you should find it there. If it’s not there then make sure you have correctly followed the steps to install the plugin.

tell me how it went
thanks!
