Twitter just forced everyone on v1.0 of the API to use v1.1 (Looks like they started enforcing this today). You will need to switch the twitter library over to the new version to get this working....

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.

Infogate's solution might be something to try first....

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...

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:...

Hmmm without any more information, it's hard to say why that would happen. Just to confirm, you have created a separate facebook page, and have followed the video at: http://youtu.be/IfW42McTKyE

Hi Everyone,

I've just released autoFacebook 2.1. I know it's been awhile and it's not so much an update as it is just updated video instructions. I also go over enabling automatic facebook posts...

That doesn't look like it's from autoFacebook. I would look into your other mods. That looks like some kind of registration plugin, maybe a newsletter.

Thank you for taking the time to put that together.:clap:

This applies new FB developer accounts (required for anyone using autoFacebook 2.0 or earlier to create their own app on facebook). This is merely facebook's way to authenticate that you are a...

Thanks securit, thought I had mentioned that somewhere but I guess it was on an earlier version. oops, I'll add it to my blog. as well as the sign up page.

Hmmm, Was the page created before or after you added the facebook app?

The username can be whatever you want. It just helps me troubleshoot and might have future use.

Did you download the light mod from : http://htmyell.com/autofacebook-light/

Did you download autoFacebook lite? You cant just change a line in the old autoFacebook it can be downloaded from htmyell.com




Do you have a page set up on facebook via your main account?

It would help to know how it's not working for you, what errors you're getting, etc. Especially with autoFacebook Lite, since it's really just copy and pasting a number and uploading...

Yeah, for now.

The option to set a limit on posts (either by number per day setting, or check box when entering product) for higher volume updaters is in the to-do list... I promise.

New Release!
http://htmyell.com/images/share/autofblite-small.pngautoFacebook Light is here!

Don't let the name fool you, this is perhaps the most robust version of autoFacebook yet. Just see the...

1. If you're using autoTweet3, when bitly fails it will automatically use your the real link instead. Check your bitly info, i've never heard of it failing. If you're using another mod that alters...

It's in the works, but this involves a much larger change to critical zen cart files so it will take some time.

I'll look into this as soon as i can.



Switch to another host. Most hosts give you both with shared hosting. I use ipower, they start at 3.95 a month or something and you get everything you...

Do you have cURL and JSON installed on your server?

Each page has to be independently authorized. Here are detailed instructions for those adding a different page (thanks to whosyourdaddy)



That should fix it

that looks right

Twitter can only take in so much so its better to just let users know there's an update and give em a link to check it out.

You could change it to give the description but if...

:oops: again...

it should be:


$message = strip_tags($message);

:oops:

Disregard that last post as well;

I think I'm starting to lose my mind...



to solve this with autoTweet 3 add:

To anyone using autoTweet that is having an issue with products description not posting to facebook, it is more than likey caused by another mod adding to your description field (such as: FCKeditor...

YAY!!!:clap::clap::clap: Finally!

Thank you as well for being patient and working with me on so many experiments.



Thanks for sharing it's always nice to hear everything worked right.

You are right, I was thinking about the authentication process for autoFacebook1. I'm starting to think I manage too many mods to keep track of em all.

I've got a fix for this developed that lets...

So instead of:

$prod_description = urlencode($prod_description);

Try:

$prod_description = strip_tags($prod_description);

Wait a minute, why is there HTML/CSS in your product description? Are you using a WYSIWYG editor or hand coding HTML in your descriptions or something like that? What other mods have you installed to...

hmm... try
deleting:

$prod_description = urlencode($prod_description);

and adding:

settype($prod_description , "string");
in it's place

Ok so this MIGHT fix it:

However, I can't recreate the problem so I am unable to test.

I think that it is server related and has to do with DNS/cURL settings. So if you're having a problem...

oops, sorry wrong thread.

this is only for autofacebook :blush:

however, if it resolves the problem for facebook a autoTweet fix will follow soon.

Sorry for the confusion

Ok so this MIGHT fix it:

Hmmm the autoTweet code by default should fall between lines 90 and 157. If you have made any edits, or moved it (while trouble shooting (which could have been my fault)) either move it back to just...

You can do this, but you don't have to as you've already allowed your app to access all your pages.

You could just take the individual page's number (which will be in your browser's address bar...

What version of autotweet are you running? Sounds like you need to upgrade to autoTweet 3.

^I agree

You'll need to re-authorize the app. The credentials are generated based on the type of app and were probably generated for the read only app, and not the read/write app. Some kind of...

Url encoding didnt work i take it? grrr

Well, I'm thinking it has something to do with the way cURL is configured on varius servers. It's the only thing I can think of that would cause the same...

That does seem odd. Does the facebook code work without the twitter code? and Do you have more than one page? Is anywhere else on facebook receiving the updates?

just upload your original update_product.php file to admin/includes/modules/

then delete the twitter folder.

Yeah, that was an error in the documentation;

all you need is:



for twitter to work.

Just ignore the username and password stuff.

Updated mod was already released preemptively on august 11th and has been confirmed working as of 3pm on 9-6-2010.

So you shouldn't have to wait at all. :)

The new updates will not affect autoTweet 3 which is in compliance with the new oauth method of authentication.

If you are having errors, please update to version 3.0.

Haha, Yeah never heard from them. Not sure what they mean by that. The app follows all of facebooks guidelines for authorizing access to a user's page. It also uses the facebook recomended php-sdk....

Have you made any progress on this? Are you getting to the facebook allow access page?

somethings to check;

make sure the domain is set up correctly and the script is hosted on the domain...

I'm not too familiar with all the zencart tax stuff but I would imagine find:

$price = $products_price;
around line 101 of your update_product.php file and change it to:

$price =...

No sadly I haven't. I can't reproduct the problem myself on my servers to test anything, so it make's it much harder to find a solution.

I think that because of this, the problem is random and...

that's definited by in the $page_id

if you'd like to specify go to your page in your browser and you should see the page's id number in the address bar. then in (update_product.php) just page...

Can you post your autofacebook code for me. (make sure you remove personal info i.e. app id, secret, token, etc).

Did you include the perion at the end of your page_token?

Is the product still added to your store? and is it added to your facebook?
