me.feed!(

You would add the following to me.feed! (I added some others just for good measure):
me.feed!(
:message => 'Updating via FbGraph',
:name => 'Update',
:link => 'http://www.somelink.com/',
:description => 'My description'
)

How do you use the Gibbon Gem to automatically add subscribers to specific interest groups in MailChimp?

I'm trying to figure out how I can use the Gibbon gem in Rails to automatically add subscribers to specific interest groups in MailChimp?
I've found this article which details a non-Rails method for doing so: http://roman.tao.at/uncategorized/mailchimp-api-listsubscribe-listbatchsubscribe-and-groups/
I'd like to figure out how to implement that functionality using the Gibbon gem: https://github.com/amro/gibbon
FYI, I'm also a novice with both MailChimp and Rails.
Finally, after hours of perusing through code. I've found the example I'm looking for!
Thanks to TJ Moretto for providing this on a Google Groups thread:
I'm using the gibbon gem, but ran into the same types of issues.
Here's how I had to format the parameters to finally get this to work:
gb.list_subscribe({:id => "#{list.id}",
:email_address => user.email,
:update_existing => true,
:double_optin => false,
:send_welcome => false,
:merge_vars => {'FNAME' => "#{user.first_name}",
'LNAME' => "#{user.last_name}",
'GROUPINGS' => {0 => {'id' => grouping.id, 'groups' => "#{challenge.name}"}}}
})
Hope that helps.
Mailchimp Team - based on the number of issues that everyone runs into
when trying to do this (across all programming languages), I suggest
you update the API documentation to be more clear.
Update for version 2.0 of the MailChimp API and version 1.0 of Gibbon (For #Calin and posterity). Here are the necessary changes from the previous version. The API object is accessed like this now:
gb = Gibbon::API.new
And list methods like so:
gb.lists.subscribe(params)
Finally the :email_address parameter has been replaced by the :email parameter, which should be given a value of the following form: The value should itself be a hash with one key, either 'email' or 'leid', and the value should be either the email address of the subscriber or MC's unique identifier (LEID) for the subscriber.
So a full subscription call might look something like this:
gb = Gibbon::API.new
gb.lists.subscribe(:id => "ed6d1dfef4",
:email =>
{ "email" => "example#domain.com" },
:merge_vars =>
{:groupings =>
{
0 => { :id => "95", :groups => ["Some Group", "Another Group"]},
1 => { :id => "34", :groups => ["A Third Group"]}
}
},
:update_existing => "true",
:double_optin => "false",
:replace_interests => "false")

RiCal add_attendee issue

I am using RiCal gem to create calendar event in my ROR project. The issue i have is when i add attendee it adds the attendee as .
ATTENDEE:mailto:sanjay.swain#in.ibm.com
ATTENDEE:mailto:sanjayswa#gmail.com
But I want ATTENDEE as
ATTENDEE;CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION;RSVP=
TRUE;CN=sanjay.swain#in.ibm.com;X-NUM-GUESTS=0:mailto:sanjay.swain#in.ibm.c
om
with ROLE, PARTSTAT etc.. Is there a way to get this result using RiCal gem..
I found the solution. Here is what I have done:
options = {'CUTYPE' => 'INDIVIDUAL','RSVP' => 'TRUE','ROLE' => 'REQ-PARTICIPANT','PARTSTAT' => 'NEEDS-ACTION','X-NUM-GUESTS' => '0'}
attendee_property = RiCal::PropertyValue::CalAddress.new(nil, :value => "mailto:"+attend, :params => options)
event.attendee_property = attendee_property

Ruby on Rails / Yellow Maps For Ruby Plugin woes

Okay I've read through the plugin comments and the docs as well and I have yet to come up with an answer as to how to do this. Here's my problem I want to use the :info_window_tabs and the :icon option, but I don't know what format to pass my information in. According to the documentation the following code should be correct. Here's my code:
#mapper.overlay_init(GMarker.new([map.lat, map.lng],
:title => map.name,
:info_window_tabs => [
{:tab => "HTML", :content => #marker_html},
{:tab => "Attachments", :content => "stuff"}],
:icon => {
:image => "../images/icon.png"
}))
The readme and documentation can be viewed here.
And the relevant ruby file that I am trying to interact with, including the author's comments, can be viewed here.
I have tried the #rubyonrails channel in IRC as well as emailing the author directly and reporting an issue at GitHub. It really is just a question of syntax.
Thanks!
Okay, so I finally got this figured out. Here's how you do it; :icon accepts a GIcon variable and :info_window_tabs accepts an array of GInfoWindowTabs. Here is how you would declare each with the plugin.
Declare GIcon
#mapper.icon_global_init(GIcon.new(:image => "../images/civil.png",
:icon_anchor => GPoint.new(0,0),
:shadow => "../images/shadow.png",
:shadow_size => GSize.new(37,32),
:info_window_anchor => GPoint.new(9,2)), "civil_icon")
#civil_icon = Variable.new("civil_icon")
Declare GInfoWindowTab
#tab1 = GInfoWindowTab.new('Tab 1 Label', 'HTML for inside of tab1')
#tab2 = GInfoWindowTab.new('Tab 2 Label', 'HTML for inside of tab2')
#window_tabs = [#tab1, #tab2]
Then in your GMarker declaration just do the following:
#mapper.overlay_init(GMarker.new([map.lat, map.lng],
:title => map.name,
:icon => #civil_icon,
:max_width => 300,
:info_window_tabs => #window_tabs))
And you're done.
