Using FBML in a ruby sinatra app
- by Gearóid
Hi,
I'm building an application in ruby using the sinatra framework and am having trouble with rendering some fbml elements.
I'm currently trying to render an fb:multi-friend-selector so the user can select which friends they want to invite. However, when I write the following in my code:
<fb:fbml>
<fb:request-form action="/inviteFriends" method="POST" invite="true" type="MY APP" content="Invite Friends" >
<fb:multi-friend-selector showborder="false" actiontext="Invite your friends to use YOUR APP NAME.">
</fb:request-form>
</fb:fbml>
Nothing renders with the text above. I've included the regular facebook xsds for the taglibs in my html tag and have tested fbml on the page using the following code:
<fb:name useyou="false" uid="USER_ID" linked="false"/>
This code works correctly and displays the user's name.
I've tried a simple example like that on http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Fb:random but again nothing is rendered in the browser.
Do I need to include some special javascript or anything?
I would greatly appreciate some help with this.
Thanks in advance
