using facebook pixel to populate from my store to my fb business page.

did you remove the open graph module and install the structured data module I linked? In the first screen, I see there is no data in the Schema section.

I got the zen-cart_Structured-Data-master installed. I know this is not an app. but do I need an app id.

i also had the facebook open graph. I removed the facebook open graph and turned it off under the structured data in the configuration file.. maybe that was my problem.. having both.
i will let you know.

still getting the same content_id error.

and when you go to my facebook page and want to buy anything.. it shows out of stock.

does anyone on these boards have this working correctly with content_id pull the content info correctly and not showing items as out of stock.

the strange thing the catalog that is in the background.

the first screen shot is the error
the next is the background showing in stock available
and the last one show it says out of stock
so
content id not pulling.
thank you

when you go to google's structured data tool does it show the correct info? And is the chrome pixel helper showing anything in the Schema.org section yet?

yes I did and it seems to use the JSON-LD

content_type: 'product'
});
</script>
<!-- End Facebook Pixel Code -->

[lankeeyankee]

please do not put any of these lines in any of the pixel code

search_string: 'leather sandals',
  content_ids: ['1234', '2424', '1318', '6832'],
  content_type: 'product'

For the search result template you only need

<!-- Facebook Pixel Code -->
<script>
  fbq('track', 'Search');
</script>
<!-- End Facebook Pixel Code -->

You do not need to add anything else, the tags pass all of the other information. I do not have content_id or anything else in the pixel code and it works as expected.

[noppie]

can you give me your facebook catalog page.. so i can see how it works on other pages..
thank you

This code will work great for tracking Zen cart page views from your Facebook ads when placed at the bottom ofincludes/templates/YOUR-TEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php.

However, if you are running a marketing campaign where you are paying money to Facebook, you definitely want to be able to track the conversion rate of your ads.
For this to happen you will need to make some changes to the Facebook code to work with Zen cart.

We need to add a tracking function to the pixel code which integrates with the Zen cart database variables. We have created this below for you to use within your facebook pixel code.

if($_GET[‘main_page’] == ‘checkout_success’) {
require_once(DIR_WS_CLASSES . ‘order.php’);
$facebook_order = new order($zv_orders_id);
//var_dump($facebook_order);
?>
// Purchase
// Track purchases or checkout flow completions (ex. landing on “Thank You” or confirmation page)
fbq(‘track’, ‘Purchase’, {value: ‘‘, currency: ‘‘});

Once this has been added to your pixel code you will be able to see the quantity of purchases through Zen Cart generated through any given ad and also the value!

This is what i got
if($_GET[‘main_page’] == ‘checkout_success’) { (((do i put in main_page]]]] and checkout_success
require_once(DIR_WS_CLASSES . ‘products.php’);
$facebook_order = new order($zp_products); [[[[[[ i dont think facebook_order would be good would i put in facebook_product?????
//var_dump($facebook_order); and would i put in facebook_product here????????????


I found this info on here

thank you

That is for order tracking, so it is different from what you were asking about originally. For orders, I have this in my custom template's tpl_checkout_success_default

<!-- Facebook Pixel Code -->
<script>
fbq('track', "PageView");
fbq('track', 'Purchase', {value: '<?php echo $orders->fields['order_total']; ?>', currency: 'USD'});</script>
