NAME

WWW::Facebook::API::Canvas - Facebook Canvas

SYNOPSIS

    use WWW::Facebook::API;

DESCRIPTION

Methods for using the canvas with WWW::Facebook::API

The $q parameter should implement the param and cookie methods (for example a CGI or Apache::Request object).

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

base

Returns the WWW::Facebook::API base object.

new

Constructor.

get_user( $q )

Return the UID of the canvas user or "" if it does not exist (See DESCRIPTION):

    $response = $client->canvas->get_user( $q )

If $q is not passed in, the value returned by "$client->base->query()" is used.

get_fb_params( $q )

Return a hash reference to the signed parameters sent via Facebook (See DESCRIPTION):

    $response = $client->canvas->get_fb_params( $q )

If $q is not passed in, the value returned by "$client->base->query()" is used.

get_non_fb_params( $q )

Return a hash reference to the parameters that are not part of the signed facebook parameters. This is useful if your app send a POST request to Facebook and you want to use the data you POSTed:

    $non_fb_params = $client->canvas->get_non_fb_params( $q )

If $q is not passed in, the value returned by "$client->base->query()" is used.

in_fb_canvas( $q )

Return true if inside a canvas (See DESCRIPTION):

    $response = $client->canvas->in_fb_canvas( $q )

If $q is not passed in, the value returned by "$self->base->query()" is used.

in_frame( $q )

Return true if inside an iframe or canvas (See DESCRIPTION):

    $response = $client->canvas->in_frame( $q )

If $q is not passed in, the value returned by "$self->base->query()" is used.

validate_sig( $q )

Return a hash reference containing the fb_sig_* params (with "fb_sig_" stripped) if the signature of the $q object is valid for this application (See DESCRIPTION):

    $fb_params = $client->canvas->validate_sig( $q )
    # $fb_params doesn't contain a sig key

If $q is not passed in, the value returned by "$self->base->query()" is used.

DIAGNOSTICS

"Multiple values for %s. Are you using POST for forms?": Your forms are most likely using GET rather than POST to the Facebook URLs. Change your forms to using POST and the problem should be resolved. (See RT#31620 and RT#31944 for more information).
