=== Rails Helper
Sample codes:
<%= fgraph_javascript_init_tag %>
<% if fgraph_logged_in? %>
Hello <%= fgraph_user['name'] %>,
<%= fgraph_image_tag(fgraph_user, 'large') %>
<% end %>
For Asynchronous load, use window.afterFbAsyncInit:
<%= fgraph_javascript_init_tag :async => true %>
Facebook invalidates session token when you log out from facebook.com,
and fgraph_logged_in? does not check if the session is still valid
on Facebook server. The trick is you have to catch FGraph::OAuthError
in ApplicationController:
rescue_from FGraph::OAuthError do
flash[:notice] = "Your Facebook session has expired, please login again."
reset_session
redirect_to index_url
end
