Comments on: Creating a Facebook (iFrame) app using Ruby on Rails & Facebooker http://railsrant.com/2009/10/14/creating-a-facebook-iframe-app-using-ruby-on-rails-facebooker/ My experience with Rails, Mongrel, Nginx, MySQL, etc..

I googled around non-stop and was constantly using ensure_application_is_installed_by_facebook_user which created an infinite loop of nested iframes as you described. Now I have ensure_authenticated_to_facebook at the top of my application_controller.rb and made the change to the Facebooker controller.rb as you specified above and everything is now working perfectly. This was really a lifesaving post as I was about to scrap the iframe completely and go down the (painful) FBML path. Thank you thank thank you again, I feel like I owe you at least 25 beers. Thank you thank you thank you for this!

I had the same problem where if the user was not logged into FB, it would redirect them to my real site and not the FB iFrame site. Hard coding "true" for the canvas parameter seemed to do the trick.
