What you want to do is go through the entire process create the page id etc with the facebook authorization file.

Once this is completed you have all your API secret and app id add all that to the proper lines in update_product.php put the page ID of your Shop page instead of the Page ID created in the process, once this is completed saved and uploaded to your ftp go to your application page (profile) and allow the appilication access the Shop Profile page this is all you have to do

how to allow the application access the shop profile page?.. i couldn't find anything in application page that indication to allow..sory newbie question

Good morning everyone. I've gotten this to work, as a matter of fact, a couple of times now, lol, but I'm still getting no Description. I've added

'description' => 'Description: '.$prod_description,

to line 120 of update file and get the word Description: on the Facebook post soeverything else is working but still no description. I saw early on in these posts where someone else had this issue but never saw a resolution to it. Is there some fix that I'm missing?

Try this and see what happens.

Jamielift you nailed it. This code works great. The description is now sent to facebook.

Thank you for your on going effort to solve this problem. Does autoTwitter suppose to send the description to, if it is I have the same problem there. You can post you answer over there if you will. Thank You again.

So instead of:

$prod_description = urlencode($prod_description); 

Try:

$prod_description = strip_tags($prod_description);

Hi...
I recently had a 'store using zen cart' built (Nov2010). I really know zero about it, but did notice that on the note that autoFB puts on FB... there is a blurb which was put on at the time it was re-added after problems and the cart had to be reinstalled (Dec2010) I want to remove that blurb that shows up with every single auto update but I have no clue where/how. The issue of re-registering has long since been over but the blurb continues.

Can you help me?

This is what your URL will look like



Your FB App ID is the FB Application ID
Your site path is what you defined in your FB application under the Web Site Profile. http://www.yoursite.com or http://www.yoursite.com/cart/

If you have done it correctly when you activate that in your browser it will take you to your zen cart.

Look back into your browser address bar and copy and paste the entire string that you see (to be saved locally on your computer)

what you will see is something like this.

copy and paste everything between the access_token= and the &expires
this is called your URL parameter access_token - this is the big bad boy that will gleam the rest of the information that you need to tell FB what page for zen cart to access and post the new products to.

Next step take that very long string that you just copy and pasted locally and insert it into the following URL



activate the string in your browser
if you have done it correctly what is then gleamed is all the fan pages that you manage, along with the page ID and Page Access token for each fan page managed



copy and paste this locally for future reference

Now you have the Page ID and the Associated Access Token for that page

Go back to your editor in the update_product.php

replace the Page ID with the one that matches the page you want zen cart to post to.

then replace the Page Access Token on the line directly below with the one that matches the Page ID you put in the line above.

Save and upload to your server then test - if all went well it will now be posting the page of your choosing.

Jamielife will be adding a drop down option on his next release that will make it simpler in the future to pick which page for zen cart to post to - this is only a temporary procedure for the release that is currently out for us.

Thank you for your guide, work perfect. Possible to post to multiple Fan Page?

I was going to add this app, but unfortuantely facebook wants a credit card number or cell phone number. I'm not giving them either one.

This applies new FB developer accounts (required for anyone using autoFacebook 2.0 or earlier to create their own app on facebook). This is merely facebook's way to authenticate that you are a person. I have come across this when creating new apps for clients. I usually just give a cell number and have never had a problem (although i've never given a credit card).

NOTE: AutoFacebook lite (http://apps.facebook.com/storeupdater/) users do not need to give out phone or credit card info.

Thank you for taking the time to put that together.

Still trying to get rid of that blurb... when I ask for a source I get this:
<span class="messageBody">The Store had to get an update, anyone who registered, please re-register!! Thank you!</span>

Where would I find that to remove it? It is a blurb showing up consistently each time the store does an auto-update?

No one seems to be able to tell me where to find it so I can remove it.
