AutoFacebook [Support]

[WHOSYOURDADDY]

You can do this, but you don't have to as you've already allowed your app to access all your pages.

You could just take the individual page's number (which will be in your browser's address bar when you navigate to the facebook page):



and fill it in for line 96 where you see:

$page_id = "Your page ID"; 

I'm not talking about the User Access Token - have you tested through your method to insure that it works as you prescribe?

According to my post in this thread (post #147) when I tested using your prescribed method FB gives back an error code of 200

As I stated in my post here in this thread (post #149) according to FB Developers Wiki error 200 is a permission error.

So yes you have the User Access Token that allows posting through the admin privileges granted for that fan page but by not changing the page access token that is different for each page, to the specific access token for that page FB will not allow access by the script.

what you will see in the page access token is the following

Application Number|user ID and User Access Token|Fan Page ID|Fan Page Access Token

the Application Number, User ID and User Access Token remains the same but the Page ID and Page Access Token are what changes from fan page to fan page.

Think about it, it is a extra level of security to help insure fraudulent access and posting onto face book does not occur

{
"name": "Bugs Bunny Frontier",
"category": "Websites",
"id": "29469045921",
"access_token": "some secret string."

"name": "Daffy Duck Play Pen",
"category": "Websites",
"id": "15326801473",
"access_token": "some secret string."

"name": "Mother Goose Brothel",
"category": "Websites",
"id": "19785012358",
"access_token": "some secret string."
},

The above information is what is gleamed from FB by using the procedure I have outlined earlier.

So by simple changing the page ID without changing the page access token that matches produces an FB error code of 200 (Permission Denied) when the update_product.php is called when adding a new product to the zen cart.

When the facebook authorization runs for the first time, FB will look at what session was last used and stored in the cookie session on the users computer to determine which page ID and associated page access token to authorize. Which for those such as myself that mange several pages my not be the one that we want the cart to post to.

I'm not a programmer but I am one hell of a researcher.

You are right, I was thinking about the authentication process for autoFacebook1. I'm starting to think I manage too many mods to keep track of em all.

I've got a fix for this developed that lets you select your page from a drop down which will be available in the next version.

LOL it happens to the best of us - I'm just glad I was able add something positive to this thread

I have programmer friend that uses me as his beta tester for work he does - If there is a bug I will find it LMAO

It really is a great mod with a lot future development possibilities!

Now to start working on what you and countrycharm just went through on posting descriptions!!!

Installed AutoFacebook v2, seemed to install ok, but when i add a new product in zencart at the top it informs me that Facebook was successfully updated, but nothing showing on facebook. I'v uninstalled and re installed the app 3 times without any errors showing at all but can not get anything to show in facebook at all. Anybody any ideas what i can check to try and find whats going wrong.

I installed Version 2 a few days ago, and it is working perfectly. Also installed Autotweet, which is also working fine.

Thanks very much for this excellent modules and all your help.

If you mange several pages check them all to see which one it posted too!

If it is posting to the wrong page I have provided a temporary procedure to get the information you need earlier in this thread.

Jamielife is working an upgrade for those of us that manage several pages.

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.

YAY!!! Finally!

Thank you as well for being patient and working with me on so many experiments.

I agree, odds are it's posting to another one of your pages, check that and follow WHOSYOURDADDY's instructions a page back to authenticate your new page.

Hi all, sorry to be a pain. Ive spent 4 hours on this module and Im about to give up. Ive search all over the website and read through all 18 pages but I seem to be the only one not able to find this fbcanvas file for facebook.

I know I must be missing something extremely simple but can someone please put me out of my misery!


6. Next click "Canvas." This is important: facebook uses your canvas callback url to pull content from a page on your server and bring it into your facebook app. Essentially it runs your app as a web page from within facebook. This is going to link to your fbcanvas folder included in the downloaded autoFacebook zip. However before we can upload the fbcanvas folder to your server we have to finish what we're doing now. fbcanvas will need to be uploaded to your public/www root folder. So we'll fill in where we plan to host our fbcanvas folder. So if my store is http://www.htmyell.com, when I upload fbcanvas to my server I'll upload it to the public root directory so that it's url will be http://www.htmyell.com/fbcanvas/. So my Canvas Page url will be "htmyell_backend" (since odds are that hasn't been taken) and my Canvas Callback URL will be "http://htmyell.com/fbcanvas/". Also while you're here make sure to click "FBML" instead of "iFrame."

There is no fbcanvas folder in AutoFacebook Version 2. That was AutoFacebook Version 1 that had it. If you have downloaded that version you need to grab Version 2.

It is the 2.0 that I have. What is the canvas bit for then on fb developers?

I did all the steps on the readme and all went ok but now im just stuck as there is no info on how to set the fb intergration up.
