AutoFacebook [Support]

[WHOSYOURDADDY]

Sorry I am not brilliant with facebook. I have followed all the instructions very very slowly (I started this about 5 hours ago).

I now have the app on facebook and looking at the tabs that say about, website, facebook intergration etc.

In the intergration, the profile tab and canvas sections are not filled in. Do I need to fill them in? If so, with what?

Also, I have added the app to one of my fanpages but it doesnt do anything. I do not understand how the new products on my zen can get to my facebook pages?

I really am totally lost with this.

Maybe I can help you.
You have your application created so the hard part is done. Yea Right whatever you say buddy LOL Actually it is


My first suggestion don't make it any harder than necessary - Yea easy for you to say buddy LMAO

Starting with the web site profile what you see is at the top is the application ID and the application secret then directly below is site URL and Site domain

this is simple in site URL copy and paste the URL that you see in your browser when you go to your zen cart

example: http://www.yoursite.com or http://www.yoursite.com/cart/ that is it nothing more nothing less

next site domain this is the name of your domain
example yoursite.com that is it no http no www just the name of your domain

Sweet your now done with web site tab - moving on to the next tab this is even more simple since the hard part has already been taken care of in the web site tab.

Facebook Integration Tab the only thing you do and I repeat and stress the only thing you do is go to the very bottom where it says "Installable to" and uncheck the user and check facebook page

Thats it your done now click save changes

Wow pretty cool right you just did your first app!!!

Yes then add it becuase you need to make sure you have admin privileges to post to your page

Now go back to your editor and make sure that you have the update_product.php with all the correct information as outlined by Jamielife

Save that and upload to your server.

Setup a test cat and create a test product and attach an image to the product.

When you add the new product what happens is the zen cart calls the update_product.php the new autofacebook code talks to the facebook application and says hey buddy how you doing - the FB application says sweet I know you what you got for me - zen cart then instructs the application to post this new information to the page that has been authorized to accept it.

If everything went well then you will see the New Product posted to your page!!

Hope this helps this helps you out - if not I just confused the heck out of you LOL

LMAO I'm working on my post count so i can be totally zenned just like you -

[confusedforever]

Thank you for the detailed reply. Ive double and treble checked all this info.

It has worked which is a good thing.

The bad thing is its worked on the wrong page. Its worked on another fanpage I admin. Ive now removed myself as an admin to that particular page and then posted up a new product and it has stopped adding to that page.

Only thing now is it wont add to any other page.

Is there something else I am doing wrong? I went to the applications page and clicked "add to my pages" and slected one page but nothing posts on it.

Help much appreciated.

Jay.
