AutoTweet [support]

Update: AutoTweet version 1.01 has just been submitted to zen cart for review and should be available soon.

It is basically updated to better integrate with zen cart version 1.3.9a and future releases. Also I have included some minor fixes for bugs/issues discovered on this forum including:

• issue with descriptions not posting to twitter.
• issue with 'cannot redeclare class' error.

Anyone wishing to install the upgrade now may do so at: http://htmyell.com/autotweet-v-1-01/

As always, please let me know what you think/if there's any problems.

Thanks,
Jamie

Just an FYI AutoFacebook is now available at: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1623

Hi,
great modules. save lot of my time.
i think there's a minor bugs in this module.
Right after after inserting new products into my website. The number of visitors showed quite a big number sometime '20++ guest' online, sometime '30++ guest online'.
before this, the number never exceed 10 guests in one time.
Am i missing something?

Haha that's the beauty of twitter. I notice regular tweeting can make a huge impact on the number of visitors I receive a day. All this mod does is shorten and send a link to twitter... it doesnt have any affect on your online visitors counter. So I wouldnt call it a bug, more like the purpose of this mod.

I still got the problem with the products_name in my tweet....

The name of the product is not shown.

My tweet looks like this:
New Product available: "" Check it out at http://bit.ly/9mRfmk

I know i has been passed a few times in this topic, but i haven't seen any good explanations to fix it.

try this:

Around line 19 of autoTweet.php (if you have the updated version of AutoTweet) find the line that looks like this:

PHP Code:

---

$my_product_name = $_POST['products_name'][1]; 


---

and change it to:

PHP Code:

---

$my_product_name = implode(" ", $_POST['products_name']); 


---

Try it again, let me know if that doesnt work.

"Zen Cart 1.3.9a Users: upload everything inside the admin folder to where ever your admin folder is on your server, and that's it... you're finished!" (v1.01)

For 1.3.9b:
This should be corrected to upload only "twitter" folder on admin. The update_product.php has somehow commented out line 198 (don't know if this is intentional) but it resulted in getting a screen of the category without the controls after one inserts a product.

For AutoTweet to work you still need this piece of code in admin/includes/modules/update_product.php after

Quote:

---

$db->Execute("insert into " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . "
(products_id, categories_id)
values ('" . (int)$products_id . "', '" . (int)$current_category_id . "')");

---

(found around lines 82-84):

Quote:

---

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//// INSERT PRODUCT-TYPE-SPECIFIC *INSERTS* HERE //////

include_once("twitter/autoTweet.php");

//// *END OF PRODUCT-TYPE-SPECIFIC INSERTS* ////////
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////

---

Only uploading the admin/twitter folder may render the mod useless.

That's right!

I should say just uncomment line 198 before uploading.
