FBuntu: Facebook Notifier for Messaging Menu

[fluteflute]

Great but.. it downloads every single message I've ever received on Facebook and spams my Messaging Menu

Inbox messages or "notifications"?

Inbox messages. And I have lots of them...

Hmmm Facebook is meant to only return threads that are marked unread.

Any chance you could visit the URL below (replacing the stars with your access token from the auth.py URL) and let me know if you get lots of messages back from it (you shouldn't)?

Your help is very much appreciated.

Yes I did get a lot of messages. So I guess it's a Facebook issue so I'll just delete all my messages.

Okay, thanks for trying it out for me

I'm not sure if this is still under development, but I am also receiving a list of all my messages, read or unread.

It's kinda under development...it works for me most of the time therefore I don't have much motivation to keep developing.

Keen to figure out what's happening for you though.

Could you try out some links for me? You'll need to replace the stars with your access token from the auth.py URL

1. The method FBuntu currently uses (this will probably return all of your messages, please can you confirm that?):

https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?format=json&query=SELECT snippet,snippet_author,updated_time,thread_id FROM thread WHERE folder_id = 0 AND unread != 0&access_token=***

2. Can you please post the results of this one:

https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?format=json&query=SELECT unread FROM thread WHERE folder_id = 0 AND unread != 0&access_token=***

3. And finally, does this produce different results from #1 ?

https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?format=json&query=SELECT snippet,snippet_author,updated_time,thread_id FROM thread WHERE folder_id = 0 AND unread > 0 &access_token=***

Thank you!

I've just pushed a new revision that means FBuntu no longer dies when there's a blip in the internet connection (quite handy if you're on a connection like mine...)

Hopefully gonna make a few more improvements in the next few days.

this is pretty cool. Any updates on the development?

No..

Partly because it mostly does the job for me, and partly because everything is quite busy.

But is there anything you'd particularly like to see, or any problems you're having?

[One thing I'd love to fix is that clicking on an inbox message doesn't take you to the message with the new messaging system]
