Configuring Facebook Feed using Systats
Thursday, October 13, 2011 by wheli | Discussion: Docks
Hi!
I'm using the Gmail application from this forum to let my objectdock show new messages. My idea was to do the same for my Facebook feed. I couldn't find it using google, so i decided configuring it for myself. But I can't program ... 
So I grabbed the code from Gmail and changed all the Gmail names to Facebook, downloaded a new icon and setup those parameters. That worked out fine. But the hard part is of course to configure it to use my facbook feed. My current code:
[label]
format=%s Notifications
MeterIndex=0
selector=count(//a:entry)
[meter]
Meters-Count=1
[meter-0]
LoadFailed=0
Name=Facebook
Namespaces-0=xmlns:a="http://purl.org/atom/ns#"
Namespaces-Count=1
Password=xxxx
ProxyPassword=
ProxyURL=
ProxyUsername=
TimerInterval=30
Type=XMLMeter Class
URL=http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=atom10&id=xxxxx
Username=xxxxxx
UseXPath=1
(I used the atom feed like the google one because I have no idea how to configure the RSS2.0
So what should I change to make it work? Should I use the atom feed or is there an easier way? Do I need the Password and Username like with google? And What should the URL be and the namespaces xml????
Hope there is a solution!
