Method: Facebooker::User#upload_photo

Defined in:
lib/facebooker/models/user.rb

#upload_photo(multipart_post_file, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Upload a photo to the user’s profile.

In your view, create a multipart form that posts directly to your application (not through canvas):

<% form_tag photos_url(:canvas => false), :html => {:multipart => true, :promptpermission => 'photo_upload'} do %>
  Photo: <%= file_field_tag 'photo' %>
  Caption: <%= text_area_tag 'caption' %>
  <%= submit_tag 'Upload Photo', :class => 'inputsubmit' %>
<% end %>

And in your controller:

class PhotosController < ApplicationController
  def create
    file = Net::HTTP::MultipartPostFile.new(
      params[:photo].original_filename,
      params[:photo].content_type,
      params[:photo].read
    )

    @photo = facebook_session.user.upload_photo(file, :caption => params[:caption])
    redirect_to photos_url(:canvas => true)
  end
end
