AutoTweet [support]

jamielife:

Figured I'd go head and start a thread for the AutoTweet mod I uploaded that was recently made available at http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=1523.

This simply auto updates your twitter followers everytime you add a product. The product name and shortened (bit.ly) link to the product are automatically tweeted without you ever having to leave the zencart admin. It also offers link tracking stats as well (through bit.ly).

*Note: you will need to have Curl installed.
*You will also need a free bit.ly api key (though this is optional).
*More info available in readme.
*Also I forgot to mention it in the readme, but this mod is shared under GPL licensing terms. Do whatever you want with it. :smile:

***Remember always backup your files before installing anything.

I just installed Autotweet 3.0, and I filled in all information for update_product.php. But there is no way that I get products uploaded to Twiter. The error message I received as followings:

Twitter could not be updated: :
To paste the code into twitter yourself use:
New product available: Full/Queen Bed Modern Bedding Sports Duvet Cover Set Le Vele LE132Q! Only $148.95. Check it out now at http://bit.ly/1b2CvZh

On the instruction page, step number 6 tells me to fill in username and password of twitter, but I do not see any places to fill in username and password.

6. Now edit lines 96 through 100 like so:

a. $twitUsername = your twitter user name.

b. $twitPassword = your twitter password.

Please help me out with this. Thanks so much for your help and support.

Hi

Can't believe I didn't see this Plugin Before Now! Got it working great on 1.5.1 with picaflor-azul Sheffield Blue Responsive Template on the site I manage. https://www.johnwoodsmotorcare.net

I've been through the whole thread twice and although I don't think I've missed it, can someone point me in the right direction with the code for setting the plugin to give the option to re-tweet the listing if a product is updated (along with the code and where to put it)?

Thanks

Mark

It won't work using Store Manager. It doesn't work neither when you copy a product to create from it a new product with some editions. It will only work if you create the product on admin as a "new item".

Thanks appreciate the info.

I know this is a dumb question but why isn't there $twitUsername or $twitPassword? I completed all directions but entering my twitter username and password in update_product.php because I can't find those lines. Did I get a bad download?

okay I sorted out my twitname and twitpass issue out by linking my bitly account to twitter.
Im having this error now: Warning URL was not shortened for Twitter: https://www.mydomain.com was used instead. Reason: INVALID_APIKEY
Error Twitter could not be updated: :
To paste the code into twitter yourself use:
New product available: testing! Only $23. Check it out now at https://www.mydomain.com
what's causing this? I have my twitter api settings as read and write and generated new keys&tokens after the change and updated my update_product.php??? I also updated twitters api addresses????????

ZC1.5.3.
When creating product and click on insert it shows blank page
timeout was 10, changed to 0 but still blank page

$timeout = 0; //seconds to wait for twitter & bit.ly. This can be left alone.

New question I think
when you replace your existing update_product.php do you know what lines are added?
I belive my update file has been changed some already and don't want to loose what I have
so just want to edit and add missing lines

thanks

Dave

Was wondering if anyone has upgraded twitteroauth.php to include media uploads yet?

I'm getting close, but just rain into a 'Uncaught InvalidArgumentException: You must supply a readable file in' using the url to the image as..

$urlprod = $storeUrl . '/images/' . $_POST['products_image']; 

Then after connection trying to upload and get the media ID in

//upload the image and get an MediaID
$media = $connection->upload('media/upload', ['media' => $urlprod]);
$parameters = [
     'status' => $message, 
     'media_ids' => $media->media_id_string
];

//send message
$tweet = $connection->post('statuses/update', array('status' => $parameters));

The upload connection is where the stop is... the error file is..

[21-Sep-2018 21:03:18 America/Los_Angeles] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught InvalidArgumentException: You must supply a readable file in /****************************/includes/modules/twitteroauth/twitteroauth.php:239

Think I need to start back tracing twitteroauth.php for the issue.. The image patch id https://www-siteURL-/image/product/1234.jpg and it's under the max 5MB's

Update...

Found that one needs to first upload a media file before adding to a tweet.. the process is different when posting then from URL, this part I was able to create. However, I found issues with twitterOauth, which apparently was a fork version and never updated to match the current master of twitterOauth..

Having to go back and learn twitter API.. was working on creating a developer sandbox to play in. Something to think about for anyone using twitter web app, they are changing locations and access. If you find autotweet stops working, you may need to reapply to keep your web app alive.
