I was updating my version of the facebook php sdk (v3.1.1-25) when my site started experiencing a ton of problems mostly with getting facebook app properties. Never seen the drupal for facebook dev modules shoot up so many errors before!

Well after a few hours of looking for the problem I've found that theres a few changes to the sdk that very well could be causing them. Sure enough when I replace my sdk version back to a prior 3.1.1-16 version the problem have subsided.

I am attaching a diff file for these two versions as problem is obviously with the drupal for facebook module's relationship with newest version of the facebook sdk.

For now I will continue using the v3.1.1-16 but hopefully this might help somewhere or someone..

Care to share what the errors were? At least the first few.

Thanks for your response!

The errors were saying things like "failed to get app properties", "failed to connect to app host", "connecting to app properties timed out".. But my assumption that it was to do with updating the php sdk was wrong. They just started when I updated the module and php-sdk so I figured there was a relation.

I'm still not sure exactly what was causing all the issues exactly but they seem to have subsided now. It appears to be a result from fiddling with the apps settings on facebook.com. I have since updated back to the v3.1.1-25 version of facebook-php-sdk without errors.

I'll report back if I start having issues again (I still get the occasional error right now but nowhere near what it was doing before).

Glad it works. Make sure you enable fb_devel.module as that catches some problems before they would otherwise surprise you.
