Thanks for the details! It appears that this is a problem with your hosting company. It looks as though they may be blocking the ports needed for your site to connect to facebook. See this article: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9...urlexception-7. You may want to hit up their tech support and see if there's anything they can do to enable the connection.Quote:

Not sure if it is a charset issue, but I did alter that according to a guide. Any help is great, maybe other people are having the same issue. I am using GBP at the moment until I can figure it out lol.
Well darn, I thought I had figured it out. Unfortunately character encoding/charsets and all that isn't my area of expertise. I know when I set my charset to 'UTF-8 w/o BOM' as per the video I was able to see GBP, Euro, and the Yen. However maybe there's something else missing. What IDE are you using to change the encoding?Quote:

so i just suggest trying replacing the .$cur, with '£' so that it is like that
'caption' => 'Price: ' . $price '£',
Hello Jamie, and Infogate,
Thanks for your replies. I am not sure what IDE, I am not very tech savvy. I did have a look what IDE is, but not sure if I am using them tools I found in the results. I can try Infogates solution. I did change Charset according to Dr Bytes guide (I think it was his).

Basically it's what ever program you're using to open the files and make changes. You could always download the trial of webuilder if need be.Quote:

I have learnt something today Jamie, many thanks haha. I was using winmerge, but recently Beyond Compare to compare your files with mine. Thanks for telling me what it means.
I have installed autofacebook and think it is working correctly. Anyways apparently this only works if you add the product yourself in admin. I have my products automatically updated daily vis inventory source. Anyways when it updates/adds new products those new products are not added to facebook because i did not manually add them. Is there a way to have this set up so that when my products are automatically added/updated on a daily basis update facebook at the same time?
I think that the tech team dealing with the inventory source has to deal with this. Using the "jamielife" source code i guess it would be easy for them to update the facebook as they managed to update the zen cart automatically.Quote:
