Facebook Registration Widget and Ruby on Rails
I have successfully integrated:
- the Facebook Registration Plugin/Widget
- Ruby on Rails
- Devise
The existing websites that talk about how to integrate these widgets include:
- http://veerasundaravel.wordpress.com/2011/01/27/facebook-registration-pl...
- http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/registration/
What's missing from these articles is what happens after you decode the signed_request using Veerasundaravel's Rails plugin. Namely:
- How to use the signed request in a controller for registration
- What is a good strategy for unit testing
- How to handle integration with an authentication system, like Devise
- How to handle both facebook and non-facebook (local) users
- How to perform functional testing
I have performed the above tasks, and intend to write them up shortly. If you need help in a particular area, make a request and I can write the articles by answering your questions.
