Question

I'm developing a web app with zend framework and i'd like to discuss what is the best way to intergrate all the JS and FBML in a ZF project, anyone have some experience. For example, which may be a good solution for have the Facebook istante in every controllers, a front controller plugin?

Answer 1

For all those still landing on this POST: There is a Facebook PHP SDK on github, offered by facebook now. It is quite helpfull and has a good documentation and examples. The other Projects listed above are mostly stopped or in alpha status.

Answer 2

If you are using zend framework 2 you can use this tutorial...

Answer 3

Since JS and FBML is part of the presentation layer, these would have to go into ViewHelpers. Fetching data from FB via their APIs would go into a service, like Zend_Service_Facebook. There is a proposal for both components in Ready for Review state for some time now:

• http://code.google.com/p/zend-service-facebook/

Answer 4

There's a Zend Framework Library that you can use to access all Facebook Methods at GitHub from your controllers and Models.

For the views, it's better to add the facebook JS file with the APPID and XFBML parameters to your layout/template so that you can use tags anywhere.
