AutoFacebook [Support]

[artistcsi]

I finally got this contribution to work! YEAH! However, it was posting to the wrong FB page, but thanks to the replies here, that's fixed.

But now, since I have set it to the correct FB page, it is giving me an error when I input a new product:
Error Facebook Error: (#200) Posts where the actor is a page cannot also include a target_id

Has anyone else experienced this one?

I searched first, but didn't see this answer until after I posted, sorry However, its all good now.

nobody can help me?

Did you follow this guide? It has step by step instructions and still confirmed working. Also be sure your host allows JSON to connect but JSON is pretty much obsolete for facebook appilications so it should not be a huge problem if they do not support it.

Has anyone managed to get the "£" sign working in autofacebook 2 yet?

I moved my autoFacebook low on the update_product.php page so my items will update even when I edit an item because I like to duplicate and edit for new items, but sometime I just change quantities because of ebay sales and don't want them to update at facebook as a new item, sometimes I have zero quantity and don't want to disable the item.

I changed some files, just so you know, I know just enough PHP to get me in trouble sometimes.

I may add to the lanquage files later, but for me this works

Here is what I edited-
admim/includes/modules/product/
collect-Info.php
preview_info.php

collect-Info.php- I added in bold and where

       <tr>
            <td colspan="2"><?php echo zen_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '1', '10'); ?></td>
          </tr>
           <tr>
            <td class="main">Facbook Update </td>
            <td class="main"> <input type="checkbox" name="facebook_update" value="Yes" />Check for yes</td>

          </tr>          <tr>
            <td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_PRODUCTS_WEIGHT; ?></td>
            <td class="main"><?php echo zen_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '24', '15') . '&nbsp;' . zen_draw_input_field('products_weight', $pInfo->products_weight); ?></td>
          </tr>

preview_info.php

//auto replace with defined missing image
            if ($_POST['products_image_manual'] != '') {
              $products_image_name = $_POST['img_dir'] . $_POST['products_image_manual'];
              $pInfo->products_name = $products_image_name;
            }
            if ($_POST['image_delete'] == 1 || $products_image_name == '' and PRODUCTS_IMAGE_NO_IMAGE_STATUS == '1') {
              echo zen_image(DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES . PRODUCTS_IMAGE_NO_IMAGE, $pInfo->products_name, SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT, 'align="right" hspace="5" vspace="5"') . $pInfo->products_description;
            } else {
              echo zen_image(DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES . $products_image_name, $pInfo->products_name, SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT, 'align="right" hspace="5" vspace="5"') . $pInfo->products_description;
            }
          ?>

                }

      if ($pInfo->products_url) {

// no need to edit below this line
$prod_vars = array(

curl_close($ch);
if (isset($result['success'])){ $messageStack->add_session('Facebook was successfully updated!', 'success');}
else if (isset($result['error'])){ $messageStack->add_session('Facebook Error: '.$result['error'], 'error'); }
else { $messageStack->add_session('Error: '. $result, 'error');  }
//end of autoFacebook
  }
else
    {
         
    }    

Actually in the if else, I don't know if something has to be placed in there when the box isn't checked.

No database updates needed, but make copies of the three files edited incase you have to go back and use them

Hi Dan,

I am not sure how you have gotten this to work with the code you have provided, there are many reasons why this doesn't work - too many to list.

I do have it working 100% correctly, it will add to Facebook when creating a new product from scratch or when updating a product and both methods are configurable in the create/update product page in the admin.

There is a fair amount to alter to get it to work, but the payoff is totally worth it. No more will you update FB every time you update a product. And now you can select which products to add to FB if you don't want every product added.

I will put together a post with the details of what to do and will also package it and update the contribution in the downloads area.

[lankeeyankee]

I have the same problem, it's not showing up on FB at all.

To all that are having this problem, I have had it too and had to revert to the mod in the free downloads instead of the lite version. The version in the downloads does work.

Hi, I just attempted to install this addon, and I followed all the instructions that were included, but when I get to step 8, to upload the file and run it, I get this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NEW in /homepages/25/d210379780/htdocs/GarterShop/facebook_authorization.php on line 14

This is lines 10-18 from the facebook_authorization.php page, I don't know if it's needed for me to include it in this post, but I am just incase it needs to be seen.

ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);

if (!function_exists('curl_init')) {
  throw new Exception('Facebook needs the CURL PHP extension.');
}
if (!function_exists('json_decode')) {
  throw new Exception('Facebook needs the JSON PHP extension.');
}

[mac08]

Regarding my last message: I found the problem, my PHP needed to be upgraded, so I went ahead and upgraded it and I was able to access the facebook_authorization.php page. Now the problem I am having is, when I submit a new product, it just takes me to a blank white page. It does not list the product to my shop or facebook.
