AutoFacebook [Support]

[shags38]

thanks for the rename .zip hint - Attachment 12773Attachment 12774Attachment 12775 hopefully the files have uploaded correctly.

I will make a recommendation to those in the know about getting this modification adapted - I think SWGUY is a moderator - this is a fantastic marketing tool now and I don't know why every Zenner wouldn't use it if they also have a Facebook page or store at least now with this great function. The readme needs work for people without a lot of IT knowledge to be able to install it more easily, it confused many including me (I think a lot of people gave up due to this aspect and lack of support)

cheers,
Mike

you will note there are two of these in the file update_product.php - I figure one is an errant duplication??
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//// INSERT PRODUCT-TYPE-SPECIFIC *UPDATES* HERE //////


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

Line 97 to 100 of preview_info. Just delete those lines

}
          ?>
        </td>
      </tr> 

None of that should be there.

You also had an error with the closing } of my snippet in the facebook code blocks in update_products. You put them in too soon, they should have been at the bottom of the entire facebook code block which ends right above

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

and

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

I have edited the files in the attachment, just upload them and you should be good. Please let me know if you have any other issues.

Edit: I will be the first to admit I don't know everything about zen cart code, I thought the "insert" section was for when products are being added and the "updates" was for when they are being modified. I could very easily be wrong and it would be far from the first time (or the last).

Thanks Lankee,

deleting that code got rid of the errant code on the preview page - thanks.

Using your corrected update_product.php file caused the same error it did for me when I entered code in the update section - it causes a blank page after hitting update, goes nowhere and using back button then requires a browser 'resend'. Even deleting that } after the updates section does the same so there is something else awry here.

So I deleted all code from the updates section and re-inserted the } below it so now it updates Facebook ok for 'new products' (but understandably not for updates of product.) ??

cheers,
Mike

I just looked again and noticed you must have deleted a } at the end of the "updates" section. I have corrected it and posted the new code here.

Hi Lankee,

Alas when I use your new modified update_product file nothing updates .. ?? So I have reverted to the file I originally sent you. It updates Facebook with new product via 'inserts' but not updates.

I will continue to play with the code over the next couple of days to see if I can get it to work on 'updates' as I agree that this would be a great advantage (being able to rotate products onto FB when required).

cheers,
Mike

I looked at the code again in update_products and noticed that you put the first line of my code in the wrong spot, it was inside the

if (!defined('IS_ADMIN_FLAG')) {
    die('Illegal Access');
  } 

so this was never being run

$facebook_add = $_POST['facebook_add']; 

Try the new file and see if it finally works.

We have lift-off Houston = Success = works a treat !!!

Thanks again - now we will see if we can make this available for everyone :)

So what other contributions have you put forward Lankee? - you mentioned something earlier.

cheers,
Mike

I'm using autofacebook with zen 1.5.1

The plugin is working great except extra zeros are added to the prices like $949.00000
heres a link https://www.facebook.com/ntsolutionsllc?ref=hl

How do I get the plugin to include the discounted price and fix the zeros or just not include the price at all?

I also want to use the autotwitter plugin how do I install both plugins?

Thank you
