Facebook API

I was wondering is there a module or a feature in views where that user can edit a content in a view instead of going to find that content that is being used in view.

I just created a new IRC channel on freenode called #drupal-facebook, which I hope will become an active place for discussion of best practices on integrating Drupal and Facebook.

There are quite a few modules in this space, so getting started can be confusing. I hope that having a place to talk online in real-time will make this less of a problem. Discussion of the Facebook API itself will be on-topic, as well.

I just released my app into public beta (http://apps.facebook.com/trizmplaybeta). I am hosting the app using the Drupal for Facebook module running on an EC2 instance. I am currently utilizing only the base functionality of the fb module (mostly due to ignorance and lack of skills ;-). I am looking for others in the same boat to bounce ideas off of and compare results.

First I want to thank Dave Cohen for all the work he has put into the module, I'm sure I would be months away from launching my beta without his module.

Hello All.

I may be wrong but in a traditional fashion for me I seem to have a need that goes the other way than most.

My need is simple : I want to be able to have a given node automatically published on a facebook account.
It could be just the tittle and teaser or the title and the whole node, being able to choose one or the other from the node publish page would be a plus.

Currently, drupal integration with networking sites happens through contrib modules that all store their settings in different ways. For example, both Facebook Connect and Twitter store combinations of drupal user IDs with external IDs (Facebook uid, and Twitter account name) in custom database tables, and both provide a custom interface to edit social network account information in a user profile. Consequently, views integration is custom and relies on the contrib module to implement it.

I'm neither a drupal nor facebook guru, but I have tried my hand at drupal-facebook api integration (5.x mostly 9 months ago so I'm not abreast of new development), and I just wanted to share my experiences as someone only moderately familiar with both platforms. First of all progress on the drupal - facebook integration front seems slow in general and the modules out there don't seem very mature.

Greetings!

Our team recently released a module leveraging the Facebook Open Stream API. Once installed, the module allows users of the Drupal instance to access their Facebook account and view the real time stream of their friends’ updates from Facebook in a block within their Drupal instance. Users can control the number of posts viewable via the profile settings tab.

If you had an API which fed in listings of events going on all around the country what would you do with it? And how would you deliver it to the end user? Mash it up with Google Maps? Flickr? Facebook? Twitter?

If you'd like to see drupal for facebook in drupal 6, including some of the nice features that go with it, check out Dave Cohen's call to arms for help, both financial and coding to get it done by drupalcon DC.
