Re: Facebook apps with Cake

Thanks Sadikul, I appreciate the response.

The app I'm developing works in conjunction with an existing site. I
already switched the site over to Facebooks PHP SDK 3.0. I use the SDK
to handle user Authorization, Authentication, registration, harvesting
user info, publishing streams, and a boatload of other things specific
to the site. The information at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/canvas/
has been repeatedly helpful all 101+ times I've referred to it :) and
there is a bit or two that I use outside of the SDK when interacting
with the Graph API. More notably is the information at
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/canvas/ does not even hint
at how to successfully pull off a redirect to another action in my
Cake controller without the response getting bounced out of the
iframe. Bastards! Thanks anyhow :)

Oddly enough, as a barebones app I'm able to access every one of my
Cake MVC through FB iframe UNTIL the app engages in OAuth dialogue,
then it boots me. Still can't figure that one out.

Anyhow, thanks for the response. I'll take the question "off-list"
since I really don't think it's Cake related. Damn you Facebook!
