Programatically executing fboauth actions

This looks pretty good, but I'm questioning the value being provided here. The two links you included:

#1440254: Performing graph queries in the background with access token, not as an action
#1420710: Initiating an action when user browses to a page

The first one isn't helped by this feature request. Since FBOAuth doesn't let you execute anything "in the background".

The second request is only helped marginally, as was found in that issue, it's only 3 lines of code to execute the drupal_goto() yourself. The creation of a function that wraps around drupal_goto() may lead developers to believe they could execute the code inline, but certainly wouldn't work. For example most developers would expect they could do something like this:

function my_menu_callback() {
  $friends = fboauth_request('import_friends');
  foreach ($friends as $friend) {
    // Do something with $friend.
  }
}

But this obviously isn't going to work because fboauth_request() doesn't return a value. In fact if you put *any* code below fboauth_request(), it would never get executed. I don't think the name of the function makes clear its purpose. The naming makes me think it's going to operate like drupal_http_request(), not a drupal_goto().

I've created a sandbox project to permanently store the access_tokens, which can be used to execute facebook api call programatically without user interaction our without having to redirect the user to facebook for executing an action.

@quicksketch I'd appreciate your feedback on this since I'm not sure about the security implications that storing access_tokens may have and how this fits with facebook's policies about api calls.

I've also developed a module that makes use of the token store to post to facebook from the node form: http://drupal.org/sandbox/pl2/1600946

Will this be stable any time soon ?

sorry, wrong post, please delete.

At least for POST queries like a publish_actions https://www.drupal.org/node/1420710
has helped me a lot. I triggered following code from a custom form submit where I also prepared some $_SESSION values I then could use as post message, picture or what so ever.

  // Get link array from fboauth module for making the FB request.
  $fboauth_link_array = fboauth_action_link_properties('CUSTOM_FBOAUTH_POST_ACTION');
  // Build the fboauth URL.
  $full_fboauth_url = url($fboauth_link_array['href'], array('absolute' => TRUE, 'query' => array($fboauth_link_array['query'])));
  // Fire!
  drupal_goto($full_fboauth_url);
