ruby on rails - RPXnow Facebook Connect - Use and Level of support? -
I am using the RPXnow.com authentication solution for a rail app and now the desire to use Facebook integration features I am at the time of Facebook connect and client API I am not clear from the RPXnow docs provides their solution is the level of integration. When a user uses their FB credits via RPX, are they now using Facebook Connect? Can I call client APIs from my app? Do I need to use the RPX API to access the FB Client API?
Dnewman,
Great question Facebook Connect is just a Javascript layer, which is made up of Facebook Platform APIs. RPx uses the Platform API to authenticate the user, and after signing in, you can use Netizial Facebook Connect JavaScript to implement FB specific features on your site safely, like posting in the news feed. Are there. All you have to do is set your connect url on the Facebook developer site and drop it into Facebook Connect JavaScript and then have to start implementing it. After authentication via RPX, the user will be already approved and will be "connected" to your website, and you will have access to connect width.
In addition, if you have an RPX Plus / Pro account, you can call ordinary RPX API to set user status and post activity on Facebook (and Twitter / MySpace).
