AutoTweet [support]

[ttmb33]

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.

I just installed Autotweet 3.0, and I filled in all information for update_product.php. But there is no way that I get products uploaded to Twiter. The error message I received as followings:

Twitter could not be updated: :
To paste the code into twitter yourself use:
New product available: Full/Queen Bed Modern Bedding Sports Duvet Cover Set Le Vele LE132Q! Only $148.95. Check it out now at http://bit.ly/1b2CvZh

On the instruction page, step number 6 tells me to fill in username and password of twitter, but I do not see any places to fill in username and password.

6. Now edit lines 96 through 100 like so:

a. $twitUsername = your twitter user name.

b. $twitPassword = your twitter password.

Please help me out with this. Thanks so much for your help and support.

This hasn't worked for me for a long time now, and neither does the AutoFaceBook!

Hi

Can't believe I didn't see this Plugin Before Now! Got it working great on 1.5.1 with picaflor-azul Sheffield Blue Responsive Template on the site I manage. www.johnwoodsmotorcare.net

I've been through the whole thread twice and although I don't think I've missed it, can someone point me in the right direction with the code for setting the plugin to give the option to re-tweet the listing if a product is updated (along with the code and where to put it)?

Thanks

Mark

I was wondering if anyone has used this with Zen 1.51 and eMagicOne Store Manager or do you have to add products thru admin ?

Thanks in advance

It won't work using Store Manager. It doesn't work neither when you copy a product to create from it a new product with some editions. It will only work if you create the product on admin as a "new item".
