Hi Wilt....I have been trying to get this to work cos I think it's great and will be a definite time saver lol I am however having an issue...when I add a new product I get these warnings on the next page:

Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/christon/public_html/digiscraps/changedadmindirectory/includes/modules/update_product.php on line 203

Warning: file_get_contents(http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=http://www.havendesignz.com/digiscraps/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1079) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/christon/public_html/digiscraps/changedadmindirectory/includes/modules/update_product.php on line 203

The product does get added to both the catalog and twitter...just the link does not lol

My admin section is password protected from CPanel, would this make a difference?

URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration

no suitable wrapper could be found

It has nothing to do with your cPanel.

Your hosting company has prohibited the use of the PHP file_get_contents() function from accessing files outside your server.

You'd have to have the hosting company relax their security (not likely an option), or rewrite the code to use another method to talk to external services.

Thanx DrByte, I did some Google searches yesterday and came to the same conclusion lol

Unfortunately I know just enough about programming to make me dangerous and not enough to rewrite the code, so unless anyone feels like jumping in this will have to take a backburner for me lol :)

I have inserted the code and it is where it is suppose to be. My problem is this, when i insert a new product I get the error message bar at the top but their is no writing or nothing besides the error bar. When I look at the source code it don't show up. What am I doing wrong. Thank you.

Are you sure that the PHP Curl extensions are available in the version of PHP your server is using.

Note the call to the tinyURl service is not strictly necessary and you could try the code without it, i.e just passing the plain url as part of the message.

Twitter itself will try and shorten Urls in a message.

Thanx Wilt :)

How would I try and pass the plain url?

edited to add....would I just remove the tinyurl bits, like so:

// BOF twitter feed
    
    if ($action == 'insert_product')
    {
      $purl = zen_catalog_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $products_id);
      function updateStatus($user, $password, $message)
      {
        $url = "https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml";
        $curl = curl_init($url);
        $data = array('status'=>$message);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $user.':'.$password);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:'));
        $result = @curl_exec($curl);
        curl_close($curl);
        return $result;
      }
      $message = STORE_NAME . ' has a new product. ' . $purl;
      $user = 'limelites';
      $password = '********';
      updateStatus($user, $password, $message);
    }
    // EOF twitter feed 

</span></span>

Ok, I tried the above, and it worked! The url was converted to bit.ly ... thanx Wilt :)

Dunno how those span tags got in my post LOL

OK, answered my own question again:

$display_special_price = zen_get_products_special_price($products_id, true)

But how do you get the price to display to two places after the decimal point? At present, it's displaying £49.9900 instead of £49.99

How did you get this to work? What code did you use, and what file does it go in. I have everything else working like I want it. Thanks

Wilt, could you please, put all this improves:

$_POST['products_name'][$_SESSION['languages_id']]

$display_special_price = zen_get_products_special_price($products_id, true)

round(zen_get_products_special_price($products_id, false), 2)

like must be in the message row please?

I try in this way:

$message = STORE_NAME . ' has a new product. ' . $_POST['products_name'][$_SESSION['languages_id']] . round(zen_get_products_special_price($products_id, false), 2) . $tinyPurl;

without success...
