Q: Is rfacebook v0.9.7 ready for Rails 2.0?
January 4, 2008 — Gerald
Update (Jan/9): rfacebook v0.9.8 is ready. Matt Pizzimenti published a story about the update titled “RFacebook 0.9.8 out, reinstall your plugin too“.
Notes about v0.9.7 - the rfacebook gem version 0.9.7 released on September, 29th 2007:
Paul Dowman writes in the posting “rfacebook and Rails 2“:
I’m using rfacebook with Rails 2. I needed to patch controller_extensions.rb (to fix up url_for and redirect_to).
Mason Browne writes in the story “Using Rails 2.0.1 with rfacebook“:
Using Rails 2.0 you’ll have to make two changes to your environment.rb file:
First, Facebook doesn’t hang on to cookies for you, and since Rails’ new default convention for sessions is cookies, you’ll have to change that to either filesystem or database. I usually go for database:
config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store
Second, Rails 2.0 boasts forgery protection, but that won’t work with Facebook proxying.
So:
config.action_controller.allow_forgery_protection = false
Chris Bailey comments:
I commented out the protect_from_forgery call in application.rb as an alternative to setting allow_forgery_protection.
Also, I’ve found that rfacebook’s redirect_to and url_for handling breaks with Rails 2.x. I’ve had to explicitly specify the paths instead.

Writing The Plan
What goes in a business plan? The body can be divided into four distinct sections:
1) Description of the business
2) Marketing
3) Finances
4) Management
Agenda should include an executive summary, supporting documents, and financial projections. Although there is no single formula for developing a business plan, some elements are common to all business plans. They are summarized in the following outline:

1. Cover sheet
2. Statement of purpose
3. Table of contents
I. The Business
A. Description of business
B. Marketing
C. Competition
D. Operating procedures
E. Personnel
F. Business insurance
II. Financial Data

G. Detail by month, first year
H. Detail by quarters, second and third years
