Hello,

I am using Facebooker RoR plug-in.

Following code used to work but suddenly I am getting an error which I  
am not able to decipher. Any help is appreciated

Thanks  
Rajan

I had exactly the same problem. Infact, this occours from time to time  
with various field-names.

Solution:  
Open vendor/plugins/facebooker/lib/facebooker/models/user.rb and add the  
“comment\_count”-field to the attr\_accessor-list (should be in line 12).  
It should look like:

attr\_accessor :message, :time, :status\_id, :comment\_count

Here is a link to a bug-report to a related problem some month ago (with  
the same solution):

Have updated the User/Status class to include the extra filed as  
described above but am still receiving an invlaid parameter error. Was  
this definitly the solution to the problem…?

thanks,

Damo

Are you sure you edited the correct line and restarted your app? Sorry I  
know this is obvious, but I don’t what else could cause the problem.  
After these changes it’s working like a charm for me.

```auto
require 'facebooker/model'
require 'facebooker/models/affiliation'
require 'facebooker/models/work_info'
require 'active_support'
module Facebooker
  #
  # Holds attributes and behavior for a Facebook User
  class User
    include Model
    class Status
      include Model
      attr_accessor :message, :time, :status_id, :comment_count # <-- 
EDIT HERE
    end
    FIELDS = ...
```

Thanks a lot Ma Mu…I appreciate it. Your solution did work…  
Please correct me here, This code just worked before day back and  
started giving this trouble. Is it because Facebooker plug-in is  
evolving…

Thanks for insight and quick response Have a good day.
