Facebook Friends Connect

Is a way to extend external sites to provide:

  • FB identity
  • FB friends (relationship)
  • Feed to FB


 

Demo app at http://www.somethingtoputhere.com/therunaround

User experience:

login:

js login method requiresession(): detects state
of usr-FB relationship, log-in into FB if needed. If user has not authorised app -
present app auth dialog. If already has session - just go

init JS, require session


 

access FB data:

- FBML on external site - use JS FBML parser and replace in browser DOM with FB data

- JS based API to get FB data, REST API on the server site. Sessions work accross any API

- only small subset of FBML us supported at the moment


 

adding social content:

- use access API


 

Connections:

app developers can suggest connections (using
e-mail hash)

user get connect request on FB

Move content from external sites to FB app can register feed template (3 types of
stories)

call JS "showfeeddialog" to request user to

confirm data sharing on FB.

privacy protection:

app can cache data for 24 hrs (for performance reasons). Terms are the same as for FB platform

app can integrate data any way they like -

enable info sharing

Install OpenZeppelin library  npm install zeppelin-solidity When it comes to coins, I like to use some functions that smart people already implemented and other smart people verified. I think that Zeppelin is a nice collection of Solidity contracts that can be trusted. Let's use the StandardToken contract and use it as a parent class for our own RespectCoin contract. Step 2. Create RespectCoin contract and store it in "contracts/RespectCoin.sol" file  pragma solidity ^0.4.4; import "../node_modules/zeppelin-solidity/contracts/token/StandardToken.sol"; /** * @title RespectCoin * @dev ERC20 Token example, where all tokens are pre-assigned to th e creator. * Note they can later distribute these tokens as they wish using `transfer` and other * `StandardToken` functions. */ contract RespectCoin is StandardToken { string public constant name = ...
