AutoFacebook [Support]

[lankeeyankee]

Do you have any idea how to limit the auto upload to Facebook so that it only applies to certain conditions, e.g. new item or item placed on sale - currently it uploads EVERY TIME there is a minor adjustment to the product description - this can mean 3 or more times for the same product if you decide to modify what you have submitted which I do quite often - it is a real pain when you are making description changes or additions to hundreds of existing items in a batch - slows things down considerably also whilst trying to reach Facebook and I'm sure my Facebook followers do not want to receive hundreds of alerts in a short period of time (they would soon become ex followers).

I did make this modification on my site so on the product page in the admin there is a radio button to update fb or not because I was running into this very problem. There are several core files to edit and a db modification or two but it allows you to dictate when fb is updated. I was using one of the earlier versions of this mod (not the lite version), I haven't been following this so I don't know where it is code-wise compared to what I am using. But I think my changes might be neutral in relation to this module's code but I need to double check since it's been quite a while since I wrote it. I will have a look at my code and notes and post it here for anyone that is interested.
