Building a Facebook application with CakePHP
On the Facebook Developer blog Matt Huggins published a tutorial which explains the steps you have to perform to build your first Facebook application with CakePHP. Thanks to that tutorial it should be rather easy to build such an application (I haven’t tried it myself yet).
PS: It seems as if today two new versions of CakePHP get released. It is already announced on the CakePHP website, but the files are not yet available the files are now available for download on CakeForge. Instead of the long awaited beta release of CakePHP 1.2 it is “only” a pre-beta release.
I am going in similar way in vendor part.
But my solutiion is deeply integrated into Cake core.
I create facebook DBO driver that allow to generate FQL queries using facebook models.
This allow to use standart cake models api in usual and comfortable way.
Thank’s Daniel, for the hint. I have future plans to build an application with FaceBook integration so I will try to follow this article. ;)
I would love to work on cake based facebook app, so if anyone has a project and needs a little help, let me know!
@all: Thanks for your comments!
@Yevgeny: Sounds interesting, do you use the mpFacebook project (http://cakeforge.org/projects/mpfacebook) for this purpose?
@Bryan: Maybe Nik will need help ;-)
Really I know about such project just now. My solution is similar but has some differences.
