AutoFacebook [Support]

[MeltDown]

Just wanted to say thanks for the very nicely put together add-on And the very complete step-by-step how-to. Worked like a charm!

[jamielife]

Well thanks, I'm glad you liked it :)

Question: One of my carts is a Zen version 1.3.6. Do you know of any reason why this add-on might not function with it?

Thanks

[jamielife]

Well I can't say for sure, as I started zen cart @ 1.3.8, but in theory the code isn't that integrated to the new versions. You might have to find some variable names, but maybe not.

I wouldnt overwrite the existing update_product.php, instead copy the AutoFacebook code into it.

pm me the code for the existing file if need be.

Hi Jamie
I was going to PM you my update_product.php to see if you could see why it is not posting price and description. But you have your PMs on not allowed.
I added the code below to my update_product.php as it has been modified. Is there anything else I need to add?

 
 //AutoFacebook
    $store_name = "My Store"; // store name i.e. "Mary's Car Shop", or "MikesCupcakes.com."
    $store_url = 'http://www.mystore.co.uk'; //path to your store without the trailing "/"
    $cur = '£'; //change to your currency symbol. Assumes symbol come in front of numbers
    $new_message = "New Product!";  // change to whatever or leave the same. i.e "New Cupcake!"
    //your facebook developer app info.
    $appapikey = 'mykey';
    $appsecret = 'mysecret';
    $user_id = 'myid';   //id of your facebook store page
    $infinite_session_key = 'Mysessionkey'; //from facebook app
// No Need to edit below here.
    $prod_image = $store_url . "/images/" . $_POST['products_image'];
    $price = $products_price;
    $prod_url = $store_url . '/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=' . $current_category_id . '&products_id=' . $products_id;
    $prod_name = implode(" ", $_POST['products_name']);
    $prod_description = implode(" ", $_POST['products_description']);
include_once 'facebook/php/facebook.php';
$facebook = new Facebook($appapikey, $appsecret);
    $facebook->api_client->user = $user_id;
    $facebook->api_client->session_key = $infinite_session_key;
    $facebook->api_client->expires = 0;
$attachment = array(
      'name' => $prod_name,
      'href' => $prod_url,
      'caption' => 'Price: '. $cur . $price,
      'description' => $prod_description,
      'media' => array(array('type' => 'image',
                             'src' => $prod_image,
                             'href' => $prod_url)));
$action_links = array(
                      array('text' => $store_name,
                            'href' => $store_url));
$attachment = json_encode($attachment);
$action_links = json_encode($action_links);
$facebook->api_client->stream_publish($new_message, $attachment, $action_links);
//end of autoFacebook

Concerning Zen version 1.3.6: Using Winmerge I merged the two update_product.php. Everything seems to be working fine except that the product image is missing. Any idea what that may be an indication of?

Thanks

@meltdown let me see the code. pm's should be on now.

Anyway this price issue is baffling me. It works fine on my end everywhere i try it. For those who aren't seeing price, what does it look like on facebook? Are you seeing the dollar sign '$' and then nothing? are you seeing 'Price: ' and then nothing?

Hi jamielife
Want to say thanks for the mod.
Ifigured out the reason mine was posting to both my personal and business pages was because id selected both users and pages in the app settings lol
As for the price issue, im not getting anything show on facebook other than the image and the model name

I've been using this for a while now and had to reinstall when i changed servers and domains.

This time around the updates are posting to the wrong facebook page. (I admin 3 other pages in addition to my store page) How can I make sure the updates go to the correct page?

Go back and do what WHOSYOURDADDY says to do to fix it.

***IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR THOSE WHO MANAGE SEVERAL FACEBOOK PAGES***

Like most I have been scratching my head on how to get this app from Jamielife (Thanks Jamielife) to post new products in our zen cart to the proper Fan Page/Business Page.

Each fan page has its own page id and access token. The easy part was getting the page ID the hard part was figuring out how to get the the access token for the specific page.

After you have gone through the initial steps outlined by Jamielife to get the app authorized the next steps will allow you to have this app post to the page of your choosing.

Here is the solution.:

1. Run this link in your Browser. Please replace ~URL~ with your connect URL (Facebook Application dialog) and ~APPID~ with your application ID


You will need to add https// to the following links




If done correctly you get your zen cart with the URL Parameter Access Token

2. This URL will return to you a URL parameter access_token.
3. Save the token somewhere;
4. Load This URL. Replace ~TOKEN~ with the token received from Facebook at point 2.



5. As a result you will get the json with all your pages and all access tokens. Save them somewhere;

Once you have this data it is simple going into the update_product.php at lines 88-92 and change them according to the information associated with the specific page that you want to mod to post to.

Test to make sure it works

I have tested it on 1.3.9f with the latest version of Jamielife's mod with success

Good Luck
