"Google Plus One (+1), Facebook Send and Twitter Follow" addon Support

[gopinathgoswami]

Three Internet Giants Viz., Google, Facebook and Twitter have launched three different services recently.

1. Google has launched its own Social Networking called "Google +1. Now, Google +1 is open for businesses also as announced on November 8, 2011.

2. Facebook has also recently launched a new service called "Send" button. The Send Button allows users to easily send content to their friends. It is just like "Tell A Friend" button already available in Zen cart, but lot superior as recipients' email addresses are automatically populated from Facebook database and instantly shoots a mail to a whole group or selected individuals. The message will include a link to the URL specified in the send button, along with a title, image, and short description of the link.

3. Twitter too rolled out its awesome Follow button recently.

In this contribution, I have attempted to avail the services of all these NEW SERVICES of all three INTERNET GIANTS...! Ofcourse along with Facebook Send button, Facebook Like button is also installed automatically.

This contribution can be downloaded at http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=2026

This is the support thread for this contribution... Shall try to support as much as possible.

Hi
I just installed this. But it seems to have distorted the size of product fonts. I have version 1.3.9h

Any ideas?

Hi,

For google plus code, please try this:

<g:plusone annotation="inline" width="400"></g:plusone>

For facebook code, please try this:

<fb:like send="true" width="400" show_faces="true"></fb:like>

I have just reduced the width size to 400 from 450 pixels.

Dear all users of this Contribution,

I noticed that email address and City fields are prefilled with your store email address and your city when customer reaches Register page or Contact us page. This is because $city and $email_address used in the code appearing in (your-zencart-store-root)/includes/templates/your_custom_template/common/html_header.php interferes with zencart's code. So, I suggest you changing the names to $mycity and $myemail_address. Also, please replace "1" to "0" if you do not want to use your address, email and phone fields in the meta tags.

################ start of AutoOpenGraph ###################

$store_name = "Your Company Name"; //e.g. "Samanthas Power Tools", or "Gus' China Shop".
$store_url = "http://www.yourdomain.com/store"; //url to your store (no trailing '/')
$product_type = "product"; //type of product you're selling (see tutorial)
$use_addr = 0; //use address? if yes, set $use_addr = 1; (no quotes). edit lines below suitably.
$use_email = 0; //use email address? if yes, set $use_email = 1; (no quotes) edit lines below suitably.
$use_phone = 0; //use phone number? if yes, set $use_phone = 1; (no quotes) edit line below suitably.

//if $use_addr is set to 1;
$mystreet = "123 Your Street Name";  //change to your street address.
$mycity = "City"; //your city
$mystate = "State"; //Your State. Facebook exaple uses abbreviation.
$myzip = "zipcode"; //you're zip/postal code.
$mycountry = "USA"; //your country. Facebook example uses acronym.

//if $use_email is set to 1;
$myemail_address = "[email protected]"; // your email

//if use_phone is set to 1
$myphone_number = "+1-123-12345678"; //format: +country code - area code - number.

//no need to edit below this line:
extract($product_info_metatags->fields);
extract($category_metatags->fields);
$prod_url = "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

//get defined image or default
$myImage= zen_get_products_image((int)$_GET['products_id']);
$img = simplexml_load_string($myImage);
$img = $img['src'];
if($this_is_home_page){ $depends = $store_name; $product_type = "website"; }
else if ($categories_name){  $depends = $categories_name; $product_type = "website";  }
else if ($products_name){ $depends = $products_name; }
else { $depends = META_TAG_TITLE; $product_type = "website"; }
//print_r($product_info_metatags);
################# end of AutoOpenGraph ####################

Under meta tags, please change suitably as follows:

<?php
if($use_addr){
echo '<meta property="og:street-address" content="'.$mystreet.'" />'."\n";
echo '<meta property="og:locality" content="'.$mycity.'" />'."\n";
echo '<meta property="og:region" content="'.$mystate.'" />'."\n";
echo '<meta property="og:postal-code" content="'.$myzip.'" />'."\n";
echo '<meta property="og:country-name" content="'.$mycountry.'" />'."\n";
}
if($use_email){
echo '<meta property="og:email" content="'.$myemail_address.'" />'."\n";
}
if($use_phone){
echo '<meta property="og:phone_number" content="'.$myphone_number.'" />'."\n";
}
?>

OK I fixed it. It was the <div> tags.

When I inserted the whole line it fixed it
Thanks!

I also made the other changes you suggested.

Thanks for all of your help!

Now I just have to figure out google, facebook and twitter

[Serious]

Before I download and install this Add-On, is it possible to install just the FB and google portion? I'm not a twitter user.

[gopinathgoswami]

Yes.. it is possible. Please do not copy and paste the code starting from

<!-- Twitter Follow Button BEGIN -->

to

<!-- Twitter Follow Button END-->

Thats.. it.. very simple....!!

Dear gopinathgoswami,

Did you try looking at the page for Facebook like button on Google Chrome browser? It doesn't show up in Chrome.

I shows up in Firefox and IE, but not Chrome.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
kamion

Sorry gopinathgoswami. Ignore my post above about Google Chrome. I had the "Facebook Disconnect" plugin enabled, and that was blocking it.

Good day, thank you for this mod. I think it is awesome.

I receive the following error when I click on the product like button.

The app ID "116681851735368" specified within the "fb:app_id" meta tag was invalid.

In html_header.php I have the following line.

<meta property="fb:admins" content="116681851735368"/>

My facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/pages/PC-4-Good/116681851735368

My site is http://www.pc4good.co.za

Do you have any ideas as to what might be the problem?

Andre
