I've made a simple revLet and I would like to try it as an app for Facebook.com.. I got the idea from Twist-A-Word... I finished making the app but now I kinda need a step by step on how to set up a revlet as an app for facebook. Screenshots with steps are highly welcome!!

P.S.
It took me quite some time to get to transcript programming again as I was kinda busy with school stuff....

Dear shadowslash,

I have written a tutorial. It is only a draft, but if you send me an e-mail, you might proof-read it.

Best,

Mark

Hi Mark,

I sent you an email

Any updates on this????

Did you get the email?
Did you get the Tutorial?
Did you try it out?
Did it work?
Where can others see it?
How can I get it?

i'm now working on the facebook app but it's still got some bugs that i'll probably need some help on... unfortunately..

okay, can anybody help me with this, i've already made the app, quite, but i'm having problems with the main coding because, as it is, bare graphic, group, and button controls, it functions well but when i tried adding graphics into it, it gets laggy even if the computer is fast enough... i haven't tried this on a super fast computer yet but that doesn't change the fact that it needs to run smoothly on all average computers to get the attention of Facebook users. I'm entrusting my source code to you guys, please do send feedbacks if you think there's an error in the code that is quite redundant and that uses up the resource. the application is called Beat Rush and is a game where you get to time the beat with the song... i only made one sample song for now and i also attached it to this post. i need your help guys and everybody's obviously going into the credits of making this game ^^

EDIT:
Unfortunately, the file size is too big so i had to upload it to one of my websites:

EDIT AGAIN:
please don't plagiarize my idea okay?

Mark, Did you have a chance to finish the tutorial?

Either way, can you send me a draft? It would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Mark's tutorial will no doubt be very helpful for us Rev folks, but while he's wrapping that up these may help get you started if you need to deploy right away:

Hi,

Just a quick note that I'm still working on the tutorial. I need to find a few hours to add some essential information.

Meanwhile, if you really can't wait and don't mind reading an incomomplete text, you can send me an e-mail.

Best,

Mark

Mark,

Do you still have some notes on how to accomplish this? Has anyone else in the community written a FaceBook app using LiveCode?

Ezra

Hi Ezra,

The tutorial I was writing became obsolete when Facebook changed everything.

I do have a LC app that can post messages on Facebook. I sell it as part of custom software projects. Elsewhere, there is also an open-source framework for OAuth available, which should allow you to post on Facebook.

Kind regards,

Mark

Thanks so much Mark, I was specifically looking to see if there was a way to use a runrev stack and turn it into an actual FaceBook app, so a little more than posting a message on a FaceBook wall. Have you done anything like that, or know if it's even possible? I really don't know much about the architecture of or requirements of FaceBook apps.

Hi,

Yes, a few years ago I made a Revlet and embedded it in a Facebook app. The app broke a year later when Facebook changed the API.

It should still be possible to do this, but because the Revweb plugin is 32-bit only, most people will be unable to use your app as 64-bit is pretty much the standard nowadays.

Kind regards,

Mark

I would think that supporting the creation of Facebook apps via LC would be a high priority for the development team... no?

Hi,

What makes you think so?

Kind regards,

Mark
