rails facebook conditional not working

Question

I am trying to do what this guy did. However I am not able to see the option to post to facebook even after the user has selected yes.

Here is the method in my user model that is supposed to have the koala gem check and see if the user has selected yes to publish_actions.

def verify_permissions
    p = self.facebook.get_connection("me", "permissions")
    pf = p.first
    pf["publish_actions"]
end

Here is the conditional in my view.

<% if current_user.verify_permissions == 1 %>
  <div class="form-group">
    <%= f.label :post_on_facebook %>
    <%= f.check_box :post_on_facebook, class: "form-control" %>
  </div>
<% end %>
