RFacebook on Bebo Plugin

Bebo has gone live! If you've been developing on Facebook you'll realize that the API's are very similar. So similar in fact that with a few tweaks you can get your RFacebook application running on Bebo. I've created a little plugin to help with that. Note: I've only tested this with RFacebook version 0.97 and Rails 1.2.5. If you have a different setup then... things might be interesting.

Here's how to get it installed:
1. First make sure RFacebook is installed. You'll also need to generate the whole facebook.yml but fill it in with your Bebo application's values instead.
2. Install the plugin like so:

script/plugin install http://svn.tierrabyte.net/plugins/rfacebook_on_bebo

3. That should do it. Everything else should pretty much work like Facebook. But take note that FBJS is not yet implemented in the Bebo API.


And like I said, this was only tested on RFacebook 0.97 and Rails 1.2.5 but it should be a good starting point if you're still trying to figure things out. Also, this will not allow you to run both a Facebook and a Bebo application within the same Rails project. But that shouldn't be too hard to implement.

One last thing. If you find this code useful, a donation of any amount to our Donate Rice Facebook Campaign (http://apps.facebook.com/donaterice) would be very much appreciated. We donated over $300 to the World Food Program in December alone. You can donate by clicking here:
