Hey Dave and everyone,

With the beta release of Drupal 7 right around the corner, I wanted to check in and see if anyone had begun planning of a Drupal 7 port. Our shop has mostly shifted to Drupal 7 development and I 'm interested to learn if any work has begun on D7....

Thanks,
Ben

There has been some work towards Drupal 7. I have some of the 2.x branch ported. maybe enough for Facebook Connect.

But since the new facebook libs were announced, I'm focusing on the 3.x branch, which uses the new libs. Now I expect it will be the 3.x branch that gets ported to Drupal 7. Not both branches.

Hey Dave,

I just checked out the work you did to upgrade to the latest Facebook libraries. Great job. I totally see why you would want to first solidify the 3.x branch and then port it to Drupal 7 (rather than port the 2.x branch).

By the way, the "Tour" you put together at www.drupalforfacebook.org is really, really great. Love how simple it is to get an understanding of the new features.

So two quick questions for you:

1. Do you have a sense of how much work is left on the 3.x branch before a D7 port of it can begin?

2. Where does the code reside for the D7 version of the 2.x branch (the part that you said you started working on)? Do you develop on github or somewhere else?

Cheers,
Ben

Hey Dave,

You're probably swamped, but I just wanted follow up about these two quick questions:

1. How much work is left on the 3.x branch before a D7 port of it can begin?

2. Where does the code reside for the D7 version of the 2.x branch? Is it on Github?

Thanks,
Ben

Title: Drupal 7 port » Drupal 7.x version of Drupal for Facebook
Category: feature » task

Same as before. Trying to complete version 3.0 for D6 before working on D7.

If anyone wants to take it on, patches welcome. But bear in mind the D6 branch will continue to change for a little while.

Dave,

Do you have a patch or diff of changes you did for 2.x branch? Would like to take a look at working on the 3.x branch but I think it would be helpful to see what was needed to be done on the 2.x branch as a starting point.

Just FYI, we've made some progress on a D7 port. We expect to have most of the modules/fb core for D7, at least in a dev release, by the end of Dec.

Version: 6.x-3.x-dev » 7.x-3.x-dev
Status: Active » Fixed

Happy New Year and Happy New Drupal everyone. The HEAD branch of modules/fb is now for Drupal 7!

That means fb-7.x-3.x-dev should be available shortly on the modules/fb project page. Bear in mind it is a dev release. Many of the modules have not been upgraded at all to D7. Others have been, but have received minimal testing so expect to find bugs. Please use this issue queue to report problems and, ideally, provide patches. I'm marking this fixed, because specific issues with the new D7 branch should be submitted in their own thread.

A huge shout out to Andre (a.k.a aangel) for his work on this upgrade, as well as the D6 branch.

An equally loud shout to Stacy Wray for her work on the modules/fb documentation, which rocks thanks to her efforts.

Phew! Now I can hit my local D7 release party with a clear conscious. Hope to see you there.

I have run across a few problems. Then when trying to uninstall the module, I came across a few more errors. Here is one of them that I think would be simple to solve. Just a misspell with the "blocks" table. There is no "s".

PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'artman.blocks' doesn't exist: DELETE FROM {blocks} WHERE module = 'fb_devel'; Array ( ) in fb_devel_uninstall() (line 86 of /Projects/ArtGallery/www_new/sites/all/modules/fb/fb_devel.install).

A big thankyou for this module and hope to see it improve! It is fantastic!

to repeat myself from #30...

there will no doubt be lots of issues. Rather than mention them all here, please submit new issues that can be properly tracked.

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.

Just thought I'd mention one thing for anyone reading through this thread: For those who need a simpler integration with Facebook on Drupal 7, you should check out the Janrain Engage module (http://drupal.org/project/rpx). There's already been one stable release for D7 and the development of new features is proceeding very quickly.

The Janrain Engage module supports integration with Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Google, Yahoo!, and many other identity providers. (Currently, 18 different social networks and service providers are supported.) You can also choose to just use the Facebook integration features if you prefer.

The great thing about the module is that both authentication (logging in) and social sharing (posting content back to your social network) is supported if you enable those features.

Cheers,
Ben

@Dave Cohen
You must try Janrain Engage module (http://drupal.org/project/rpx).
Integrating rpx with drupal 7 is so simple & quick.

I would love to see DFF to work seamlessly like RPX.

@BenK
yes this module is ok, but remeber if your account will increase 2500 unique users/year you will need to pay fee for them :)

@adityagada
I think this is seamlessly because this what you need to create and configure on your site with Dave module they do on their servers. So Janrain goes between your site and other social networks.

I tried to install facebook connect module 7.x-3.x-dev to D7. It seemed to work. I added the app and put in the api keys. Did the html and setting php edits. The facebook app URL is pointing to my local host. However, when I tried to move facebook connect app to header, I got a white blank screen. Now I can't even see the admin buttons usually on top for drupal. I am stuck. Can someone please help?

I now see a blank empty white page on
http://localhost:8888/CD

This was the last url I was working on
http://localhost:8888/CD/#overlay=%3Fq%3Dadmin%252Fstructure%252Fblock

Subscribing, Good to see some recent Drupal 7 development of this module. I haven't tested out the latest 7.x.3.x dev (15th March 2012) release yet, looking forward to checking it out.

Just a suggestion:
With the changes to FB and the release of Google+ combined with many social networks now using JSON and OAUTH is there now a case for the drupal community moving toward a generic "drupal for social networks" module. Perhaps this DFF module could form the foundation for such a module.
