New Facebook Problem
New Facebook Problem
When I switched to the new Facebook page format, I couldn't login through Adium anymore. Anyone know about this and if this is to be expected? It works fine again when I switch back to the old Facebook page.

Re: New Facebook Problem
I just want to report that I have the same issue and it happened in the same way.

Re: New Facebook Problem
Same for me. I just get this prompt and after entering my password it disappears and reappears after a couple seconds.

New Facebook layout and b9.

Re: New Facebook Problem
I'll cross post this here from trac. the question is how to support this given that http://www.new.facebook.com is probably temporary.
this seems to have more to do with the fact that the new profile view uses http://www.new.facebook.com/* (instead of just http://www.facebook.com) and that the html at http://www.new.facebook.com/home.php is different than http://www.facebook.com, causing the code that pulls out the facebookUID to break.
Specifically this: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=[facebookUID]" class="profile_nav_link">Profile</a>
has turned into this: <div id="fb_menu_profile" class="fb_menu"><div class="fb_menu_title"><a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/profile.php?id=[facebookUID]">[Your Name]</a></div></div>
Note that "fb_menu_profile" is unique, but "fb_menu" and "fb_menu_title" are not.

Re: New Facebook Problem
This is fixed in svn now.
Re: New Facebook Problem
Thanks! One more thing I noticed is that the Facebook connection ignores my proxy setting. I discovered this accidentally yesterday when my proxy server died and all my other IM connections went down but Facebook chat still worked.

I have the same problem as the others, after I tried new.Facebook. But I take it that there is no nightly build so I can fix this immediately...?Chabou wrote:It means that you will have it in the next beta.PhilZombie wrote:svn?
(What is SVN short for? I checked Wikipedia, but none of the alternatives was obviously the right one.)

I'm sorry but I'm not able to explain it better than wikipedia does.
Anyway, your problem is kinda weird since it is mentionned in the changes log that this has been fixed.

And I don't have nay problem while being on new.facebook.com in Adium 1.3b10 for the moment.

Re: New Facebook Problem
No, b9! It says that there are no updates. (But maybe it always does that when you're using a beta version (different from program to program that).)Robby wrote:cmlewan, are you running b10?
Ok, so now I changed to b10. And Facebook is back. Sorry about that, I now understand that that was fixed one or two days ago. Thanks for your help!
Re: New Facebook Problem
No worries, the auto-update is broken due to internal changes, I believe. Happy to hear it's fixed!
