Thank you for your feedback. I really do appreciate it. There are
two "problems" with making it work under cake 1.2.
1) Component configuration changed in 1.3, specifically the way a user
is intended to customize Auth. The change allows a user to customize
their Auth within the the components array instead of the
beforeFilter() approach. This is essential to the Facebook.Connect
component because it uses the Auth and those settings to help bypass
auth automatically for you. If, for instance, your User model was
something other than User (like Member), in 1.3 you'd set that in the
components array 'Auth' => array('userModel' => 'Member').
Facebook.Connect will pick this up and use the appropriate model
automatically. However, it won't pick up settings set in a
beforeFilter() in app_controller.php for you automatically. This
doesn't mean it wont work in 1.2, but it will only work as describe in
the docs if all your custom Auth settings are the default Auth
settings.
--- There are some work arounds to this. I'm partial to allowing the
user to just pass in a different set of default options as a settings
array 1.3 style. That would mean it would require more configuration
for a 1.2 user but it wouldn't defeat the general goal of the Plugin
(to be subtle and automatic).
2) I use the new Html and Js helpers only available in 1.3 for a fair
amount of the FacebookHelper functionality.
--- It's possible to use just the Html and Javascript helper of 1.2
but thats more overhead when upgrading to 1.2 -> 1.3. I'll consider
writing a 1.2 compliant Helper.
In the meantime I suggest you take a look at 1.3. Eventhough it's in
beta its still very stable. I've been using 1.3 in many of my
production sites for a while with zero issues.
Thanks again for the feedback,
Nick
