AutoFacebook [Support]

[armie]

Got it, SO ******* happy with myself right now.

I've worked out how to format php output from zen cart to facebook and twitter.

Look for this line:

$price = $products_price;

and edit to this:

    $vat = .20;
    $price = (number_format(( $products_price + $products_price * $vat), 2, '.', ''));

that sorts facebook.

if your using Autotweet as well

look for this line:

if ($showprice){ $message .=  ' Only $' . $products_price . '.'; }

and edit to this:

if ($showprice){ $message .= ' Only £' . number_format(( $products_price + $products_price * $vat), 2, '.', '') . ' !'; }

That only tookm me two days, bring on the hard stuff.

what file is this? which file do I need to edit?

what file is this? which file do I need to edit?

First the easy question:
The price you are seeing is the price without TAX or VAT or whatever added.

The mod to the file corrects that. so that if you live in a country where we are not used to seeing TAX added at the sale end you don't give miss-leading prices to customers.

Sorry willie bee it has nothing to do with sales.

This would be edits to the file whatever-admin/includes/modules/update_product.php.

You would be looking for the section that starts


//// INSERT PRODUCT-TYPE-SPECIFIC *UPDATES* HERE //////
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//AutoFacebook

in this section look below your:
$app_id = "8888888888888"; //given when you created app
$app_secret = "a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a"; //given when you created app
$page_id = "1234567890987654321"; //obtained from running facebook_authorization.php from your browser
$page_token = "blahblahblahblah"; //long number obtained from facebook_authorization.php
$store_name = "AML Candles"; // store name i.e. "Mary's Car Shop", or "MikesCupcakes.com."
$store_url = 'http://amlcandles.co.uk'; //path to your store without the trailing "/"
$cur = '£'; //change to your currency symbol. Assumes symbol comes in front of numbers
$new_message = "Scented Soy Wax Candles!"; // change to whatever or leave the same. i.e "New Cupcake!"

There is a line that says (ironically)
// No Need to edit below here.
about line number 116: (in my version anyway)

below that you'll see

About line 123: $price = $products_price; //this is what you need to edit first

Add the lines of code you seen in the other post and that sorts the VAT issue for both Auto-Facebook and Auto-Tweet.

If you need to clean up your postings to get rid of the html from your product descriptions you need to edit the line.

around line 119:

There were a few optional line commented out there so just pick the one that looks similar to:

$products_description = strip_tags($products_description);

That cleans things up if you haven't done so already.
