NAME
Facebook.par - Facebook support for BarnOwl
DESCRIPTION
The Facebook module implements Facebook support for BarnOwl.
SYNOPSIS
(1) Run ":reload-module Facebook" inside BarnOwl, if the module has
not been loaded already.
(2) Run ':facebook-auth'. Follow the instructions in the admin
message. BarnOwl will ask you to log in via an OAuth URL, and run
':facebook-auth $URL' where $URL is the URL you were redirected to.
This token will persist across BarnOwls until you change your
Facebook password or you revoke permissions for BarnOwl at:
http://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=applications&app_id=235537266461636
(3) Start receiving wall updates in BarnOwl!
You can post updates with the ":facebook" command.
INFELICITIES
* BarnOwl will not receive all comments for news feed items, only
comments for items that were recently published. There is not
currently a way to see starks for conversations that you did not
participate in, and the only way to see starks for conversations
you did participate in are Facebook's email notifications. (This
is a deficiency of the Facebook API, see http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=18594.)
* By default, BarnOwl will not display posts from organizations (such
as bands you have liked) or application invites. This is a
judgment of taste from the original author. This is not currently
configurable.
* Users and applications that you have hidden via the Facebook
web interface will show up in the BarnOwl stream. (This appears to
be a deficiency of the Facebook API, see
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6405364/facebook-api-access-hide-posts-from-settings).
Users are encouraged to work around this by using traditional Zephyr
filters.
* We are missing support for some notable features, including
messaging (Facebook has not publically released the API for this,
though we could sign up for the whitelist), events (seeing
unresponded to events requires a custom FQL query
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4752967/facebook-api-only-returns-25-events-max),
notifications (not supported in Graph API yet).
* Apparently Facebook now has a 'music' post type. Handle it.
WISHLIST
* Smarter name de-duplication (see Facebook/Handle.pm for details.)
* URL minification.
* Multiple accounts. (Does anyone do this? I don't think so...)
* Zephyr class mirroring.
POLLING
Facebook.par polls for normal messages once a minute. To disable
polling, you can unset the 'facebook:poll' variable in BarnOwl.
