New Website “Is It Really FOSS?” Tracks Transparency in Open Source Distribution Models
A new site reviews software projects to reveal if they’re truly FOSS, making complex licensing and distribution models easy to understand.
devise_oauth2_canvas_facebook
Advanced tools
Only Rails 3 is supported.
Uses fbgraph (http://github.com/nsanta/fbgraph) Could use the Oauth2 gem directly, but it is more than likely that you would want to use other features of facebook (ie post feed updates).
Setup devise (http://github.com/plataformatec/devise), use Rails 3
Include the gem in Gemfile after devise: gem 'devise' gem 'devise_oauth2_canvas_facebook'
Include the ':devise_oauth2_canvas_facebook' in your model:
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :confirmable, :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable, :devise_oauth2_canvas_facebook
Add the following config options:
$ config/initializers/devise.rb
config.facebook_api_key = "KEY" config.facebook_api_secret = "SECRET" config.facebook_permissions = 'offline_access,email,publish_stream'
Good minimum to have is "offline_access,email"
Create a migration file to add the columns:
add_column :users, :facebook_uid, :string add_column :users, :facebook_token, :string
Finally, update your view to include "Login with facebook" link: <%= link_to "Login with facebook", user_fb_auth_path %>
How to use, facebook canvas applications
As above, except with this configuration:
$ config/initializers/devise.rb
config.facebook_api_key = "KEY" config.facebook_api_secret = "SECRET" config.facebook_permissions = 'offline_access,email,publish_stream' config.facebook_canvas_app = true config.facebook_canvas_url = 'your_facebook_canvas_app_url'
