AutoFacebook [Support]

[delia]

Hi

I get this error when I update a product

Facebook Error: (#1500) The url you supplied is invalid

How can I fix this please I have checked that I have the URL right in the file and on the fb app center and they are both right any help is appreciated

Thank you

I installed on a client cart with no problem but got this message on my own cart right afterwards in the next install. I can't see there's any difference between the 2 except they are on different servers. Could be a port problem. Just a guess.

Rizla - The other error noted many pages back I ran into as well. error 191 while trying to set it up. I skipped a step - didn't put in the domain and url at facebook and got that message. Went away once I did it right.

Obviously the developer prefers not to support his mod - a problem for a long time. I'm glad he updated it but hate the video and have offered to help write the instructions on the Youtube page. Will be interesting to see if I get a response.

I did not watch the video all the way thru so I can tell you that the whole thing isn't necessary to install the mod. The previous written instructions can be helpful in doing this version - missing the facebook changes but can provide some hints.

It's an error that sometimes comes up the others it's ok I looked around the intnet and its a problem at face books end apparently can't remember when I doing it I think I search the error on google but half the time it does work

Hi Delia
I did eventually get it working by using the v1.5 version and not the 1.3.

In desperation I deleted my business page so I've got to start over....

Shame he does not support it!

You can see my Facebook page www.facebook.com/laptopsmobiles.co.uk and it has posted on to Facebook page but you never if it will post or not

One of the reasons why I hate working with facebook stuff - never know what's causing the problems! I'll have to try again in my cart and see if it will work - oh, and that was an update, not a new product that didn't work. Haven't tried a new product - small cart with few changes.

I got it to work with new products and updates in ZC V1.5

I was getting this error too. Are you running CEON URI Mapping? If so then you have to tick the box to have the URI auto generated. Even if you ticked it when you first uploaded the product. It's a bit of a pain, but it will need ticking every time you make a change on a product. That's what I found worked for me.

Hope that helps.

By George, you may be on to something there! I'll check that out.

OK. I'm actually updating products as I speak. What I've found is this. When you tick the URI auto generate button for the first time to create the SEO friendly link it throws out the #1500 error. However, when you then go back into the product, the URI is already there, right. But, you then re-tick the button, update the product and voila! It works.

I don't know why that is, but there you go. I'm not a coder or anything, maybe somebody out there can look into this for a future update.

Also, I notice that when you mouse over the link on the product added to your FB page, the auto-generated URI doesn't show up. You get the original SEO UNfriendly link. I don't know whether this problem was addressed earlier on in the thread. I'll have to go back and run a search to see if this particular problem has been solved.

What's happening is that autofacebook cannot work with Ceon's mod. No telling what it would take to get it to do that. I'm sure the Ceon developer's knowledge would be needed but he died last November (his absence is going to strongly felt in many ways in the upcoming months and years). JSWeb has supposedly taken over support of those mods but that remains to be seen.

Though it would be nice to have the rewritten url posted on your facebook page, the normal url does work and once they get on the site, all works normally so you are only losing a little (very little) SEO from your link.

So problem would be very hard to fix - therefore, unlikely there will be a fix.
