Open Stream API integration

Agreed this needs to be done. Basically everything in fb_feed.module needs to change to this API.

The problem with the facebook api is that some part of it is changing in a major way all the time. It's a struggle to keep up.

The knight foundation grant has a budget that does not take all this into account. Because I'm not psychic. I'm still looking for chip-ins and patches to help out.

thanks for the link. I was just reading about this stuff earlier today.

Rather than change anything in fb_feed.module, I'll make a new module called fb_stream.module and deprecate fb_feed. Not sure how soon I'll get around to it, however.

Where can I make a chip-in Dave? I really want a fb_stream.module for D5 but can't seem to figure out how to help much code-wise.

To contribute towards a specific issue like this, make a pledge on drupalforfacebook.org, or read more about sponsorship options.

But I'm not sure a stream module for D5 is in order. I'm targeting D6 for all new features, it's hard to maintain both branches. The stream stuff is very new and still requires extended permissions which your app users must opt into. Is there something specific you need? Because in D5 you can already write messages to the feed.

Thanks Dave. I'll hold off on requesting any new features for the D5 version.

Hi Dave,

I would like to implement this fb_stream.module. Let me know if you have already started implementing this. If you started already, tell me how I can help you finish this module.

I have not started to implement. Feel free to take a stab at it. I doubt the fb_feed module will go away, as it defines a content type for templates. So it's unclear to me whether the stream code belongs in there or not. But if you create an fb_stream module with some good code, we'll figure out the right way to add it.

Hi Dave,

I will go through the stream api and will figure out what needs to be done. Based on that I will write module and will keep you update on the progress.

this works: http://drupal.org/project/facebook_stream, requires Fbconnect, though
