Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

w00t: You are doing such a great job and have my deepest respect! :cool:

I have a few things on my wishlist, but not sure how hard it is to code:
1) see the number of comments and likes, maybe next to the "xx hours ..ago" or below the profilepicture. So you can notice, if there should be any comments to read, without opening the update-message first.

2) the ability to use the facebrick as a large (maybe resizeable) widget, so you can have the widget running on one of your screens, and just have to swipe your way to it.

3) some minor notifications of new FB-updates. Maybe the popup, a sound, vibrate or LED light - or free choice of them.

@deans6571

When I post from Facebrick it says "X time ago via NokiaN900" if you view the FB website.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

.....actually, you're right - just posted an update and it does say 'via NokiaN900'! Must've missed that before ....!!!!

Cheers dude......!

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

All three are on the todo list. :)

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Facebrick users: please read (and vote) on the proposal at http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=49866

Thanks.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

I suggest that you use your own LED notification signal. It is confusing enough that IM, Mail and SMS use the same blue signal.
i suggest a green followed by two blue flashes. (two blu flashes because all the notifications are 2 blue flashes, and the green one to allow a differentiation to the normal notification flashes.) instead of green you could also use any other colour, except blue ;-)

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

I originally thought the same thing, but the reason for it like that is it matches the Conversations app behaviour, which I think is a good idea, keep all the scrolling the same direction.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Nice little update today w00t.....I like that the original post is now showen in that second page along with the comments (if any)

Since you have gone with the Conversations app type of appearance with the scrolling etc, any chance you can make the text the same as well?
- Light blue names for friends names
- Dark blue names for your own name
- The timestamp smaller
- The timestamp at the bottom, with the post txt starting directly after the name

None of this is neccesary...just me being pedantic, all cosemtic....rather see ya focus on new features/functions....like displaying photos, video and uploading them.

Either way, again, great job, keep it up.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

First off, what an awesome job you're doing. Thank you.

I will echo one of the comments above: it would be nice to see how many comments or likes are there on the main screen, without having to open up the specific message. And also a widget and LED notifications.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

is this on devel :D

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

so nice :D, looking forward to more function :D

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

I uninstalled and re-installed again a few hours later and it worked, straight off the Repos! Thanks w00t. Loving the "via NokiaN900" stamp!

Can't wait for the new features

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

In the newsfeed UI, some feeds (posted links, youtube posts, farmville & mafia wars crap, etc) do not show at all. I only see the person's name and pic. Basically, I only get to see my friends' status updates and the rest of their feeds are blank. Shouldn't we at least the title for each feed?

Also, are you planning to add a UI showing Profile pages (mine or friends' profiles)?

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

w00t, open up for donations, I want to buy you a beer.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

it should be say "bla bla bla via Nokia N900" why there is no space between Nokia and N900?

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

I have the same issue about lack of authorization

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

seems promising but some feeds are blank...

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Mh just installed version 0.2.3 via Terminal and got "Errors While installing: Facebrick". The app did not even want to start :(

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Reading all of the back and forth on this site, with recommendations and praise, reminds me of my last exchange with Microsoft about issues with Excel and Word...

Just kidding...anyone that doesn't understand why free and open source is great should read this thread. This is a high-quality app and w00t is quickly responding to user requests.

Speaking of open source, is the source code out there anywhere? I know you have said earlier you would post it to the repository when you figure out packaging, but I was wondering if it was posted on your site or anywhere else. I am new to Qt and this is a good real-world example of its use.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

m165's UI suggestions were basically the same. I'll certainly be incorporating some changes to make visual distinctions clearer. Thanks!

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

On the todo list already :)

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

On the todo list, and yes, respectively :)

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Don't install it through the terminal. The repositories are working again, so grab it from extras-devel via HAM.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Yes: http://gitorious.org/~w00t/qfacebookconnect/facebrick

I'll be working on proper framework for contributions (bugtracker, website, whatever else) in the coming future.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

thank you for making the facebook app. its amazing and can't wait to see what else you have in store.
only problen i have is the name, bookface was/is soo good.

also, may all my cows be sacrificed for you

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

.....loving the improvements w00t - this app is improving day by day, now THAT is progress!!

One thing that I do notice, however, is this: when I open up Facebook via the N900 browser and notice, say, 2 'Notifications' (which I do not open to read), if I then go to Facebrick and read the notifications via my friends comments - if I then go back to Facebook (even an hour later) via the browser, the 'Notifications' are still showing......?!

In other words, viewing & reading all the comments via Facebrick does NOT register on Facebook so that the 'Notifications' notification disappears. I have to go back to Facebook via the browser, to read the notifications, in order to clear them - does that kinda make sense...? I know what I mean - bit difficult to explain without physically showing you...!!!

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Yup. Notifications are something that require seperate support, and will be in the future.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

I don't think anyone mentioned this (I probably missed it). Link parsing would be sweet so we don't have to go to the FB post then the link. I'm sure it's on your to-do list in any case. Keep up the great work!

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

whats HAM lol

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

The normal application manager - Hildon Application Manager (HAM)
http://maemo.gitorious.org/hildon-ap...ger/pages/Home

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

I'm triyng to install facebrick directly from Ham, but installer stops warning about other application parts in conflict (libqt4-maemo5-test, script & svg). How can I solve this.

Thanks

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

First of all, thanks a lot for this awesome software, w00t! Works like a charm for me.

However, there is one problem. I don't know if it is just me, but I cannot post comments, get a yellow error popup every time saying that the app is not authorized to do this..(or similar :)) Sorry, if this is a known problem and I just did not read about it..

As I do not use games like Farmville or Mafia Wars, I wonder if it would be possible to integrate a setting to hide notifications like these..?

Keep up the good work!

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Tapping a hundred times on (and around?) the button solved the issue for me...now it works! :-)

Keep goin with this awesome sweet app, w00t!

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

updating my status fixed this issue for me

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

You may want to check the permissions for NokiaN900 application in your Facebook profile.
There should be 3 checkmarks ticked under "Additional permissions".

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

I think I have the same problem too. I just manage to install it, and try to logout and come back. Same problem occurs. could not post comments. (Reading comments are fine).

And also: The 3 checkmarks has been ticked. Verified using the firefox.
So could be a bug.

Update: rebooting seems solve my problem. Or either the update is not real time. So needs to wait for time lapse. before the application privacy took into place.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Btw, Facebrick does sync automatically every x minutes, right? What is the pre-defined interval?
I think it was already mentioned that interval changeable would be nice...

And I think it would be nice to have the sync button on the left of the text-box (just the opposite of the update-button) instead of in the top bar menu.

Like this:
<sync> [ text-box ] <update>

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

where do i check those 3 checkmarks :D

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

wellm i got it to work :D thanks a lot

Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 

Can you please edit the first post of the thread with instructions on how to install these early versions, for people that would like to test it out?

I went into the App Manager, but can't see if on the alphabetical list in the All category...

Thanks for building it and the best of luck in developing it!
