Thanks Dave for the update to the plugin for bebo support.

I have been looking at both facebook and decided to see how things went in
bebo.

After getting a little going with facebooker, I updated the plugin to your
branch code, and re-checked. All was good.

I then setup a bebo application and pointed it at the same rails
application.

The simple fbml in the profile worked. However, I have found that the
invitations page (as taken from M.Mangino's book) didn't display any users
to invite in bebo, while was fine in facebook.

Also, trying to access facebook_session.user.id works fine in both, but
user.name, etc don't work for me in bebo. (I'm getting reports of nil
object)

Am I missing something, or is it to be expected that they differ enough that
it is going to permeate much of my code ?


In other questions
- i was going to store the value of the parameter fb_sig_network in the user
db also, to avoid user id clashes (the id from the active sns, bebo or
facebook or whatever ). Is there a better solution?
- my generator (rails 2.02) is creating app/views/welcome/index.html.erb but
the plugin wants index.fbml.erb, is there an easy way to coerce one or the
other to play ball ?
- is there a handy way to get the application canvas page URI from the
plugin (e.g. http://apps.facebook.com/myapp or http://apps.bebo.com/myappetc)
- is there a handy way to get the application about/profile page URI from
the plugin. e.g. http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=xxxxxxxx or
whatever the equivalent is for bebo, fb_about_url is always sending me to
the facebook network

Many thanks again guys for some grand coding
