AutoTweet [support]

**jamielife** · 13 Feb 2010, 06:00 AM

Figured I'd go head and start a thread for the AutoTweet mod I uploaded that was recently made available at http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1523.

This simply auto updates your twitter followers everytime you add a product. The product name and shortened (bit.ly) link to the product are automatically tweeted without you ever having to leave the zencart admin. It also offers link tracking stats as well (through bit.ly).

*Note: you will need to have Curl installed.
*You will also need a free bit.ly api key (though this is optional).
*More info available in readme.
*Also I forgot to mention it in the readme, but this mod is shared under GPL licensing terms. Do whatever you want with it.

***Remember always backup your files before installing anything.

Thanks for a great mod. Installation was simple and went without glitch. Useful tracking stats on Bit.ly

I get the following after adding a product:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONST, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/knivdavi/public_html/adminfolder/twitter/twitter.php on line 56

what version of PHP are you running?

**dgarrett20** · 20 Feb 2010, 02:37 AM

It's 1.3.8a

**dgarrett20** · 20 Feb 2010, 03:01 AM

It is still adding the products to my zencart, but gives the error and doesn't add them to twitter

yeah thats because twitter.php is set to be 'included' and not 'required.' Your server is probably currently running version 4.x of php. Do you have the ability to upgrade? Who is your hosting through? Most of the major hosting providers (Godaddy, ipower, gator, etc) have some form of 5 running. Sometimes you can switch between version 4 and 5.

4.4.6 - I use 2by2host - I'll ask them about changing it.

Yeah i looked through their site, they list ' php4/php5' as one of their features. Couldnt find how to switch between the two but they have live chat so that will probably help. Afterwards everything should work fine.
