AutoFacebook [Support]

I've tried forcing php5 with htaccess. Doesn't seem to work. I get as far as the page ID and token when I rename the authorization.php to php5. When trying to add an item to my catalog, I get the blank page and no item is added.

Still digging.

Got that fixed....loaded up a few items......don't see squat though. Point me in the right direction....cause my eyes are crossing from staring at this screen.

Da pain boss, da pain!!!

Never mind...figured it out. Also found that the item has to be a NEW insertion. Can't update an old product and get it to show!!!(Which is what I tried doing!!!)

Now am I crazy enough to try and get AutoTweet working right now???? Hmmmmmmm Probably am!!:shocking::D

I had descriptions showing up until adding AutoTweet . Now I get image, link and price. :frusty:

That is just tooooooo weird. Anywho, I added that little snippet of code to strip tags and it's showing descriptions again.:clap::clap::clap: Now to tackle AutoTweet. Gonna try to get it to show an actual product link instead of the generic store url. :cry::cry:

Another issue I found when loading the facebook_authorization.php

Strict Standards: main() [function.main]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/New_York' for 'EDT/-4.0/DST' instead in /home/xxxx/public_html/facebook_authorization.php on line 970

Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /home/xxxx/public_html/facebook_authorization.php on line 970

Success!

Your page's ID is:

Now just copy and paste these codes to the included update_product.php.
Note: if you see a period (or any other punctuation) at the end of your page token please copy and paste that as well as it is part of the token.

Any idea what maybe causing this?

Hi bluedotted and jamielife, mind to share how you fixed the error quoted above ? My twitter is working fine but facebook is having the same error you had previously, please help ? thanks.

Setup the Facebook App manually first, this should fix your issue. Once the app is setup in facebook then re-run the script

Thanks for the super fast response. How do I setup FB App manually? I have follow the steps in the Autofacebook 2 readme file. The first time when I tried, I was able to see the token but it did not post to my facebook. I deleted the App and re-created a new one and I got this error.

jamielife:

It is possible i'll look into it for the next release. Good idea.

I am just wondering if you've had the chance to look into providing capability to limit updates/posts per day. We add 100s of product per week and using this mod will drive our fans crazy if we can't control how many post per day since we could potentially post 100s of new products some days. I am not even sure if Facebook will be happy with that either.

Thanks!

I have multiple fan pages. I am posting to the wrong page. I found the post on entering the url to get your token. I enter the App ID and URL and it goes to my shop website. However the URL has ?error=invalid_scope after http://mysite.com/?

The App ID is the Developer App that was created during the setup of this mode in facebook?
The URL is the actual website that Zencart is installed?

It's in the works, but this involves a much larger change to critical zen cart files so it will take some time.

New Release!
autoFacebook Light is here!

Don't let the name fool you, this is perhaps the most robust version of autoFacebook yet. Just see the new features below. autoFacebook Lite is a facebook application you simply install to your facebook store page, edit one line of code, and your off and running.

autoFacebook lite was started for people who had problems installing my "heavier" autoFacebook 2.0, but because it's a hosted app, it offers more advantages. Like easier install, few errors, quicker fixes, and automatic updates.

What's New:

• Added super simple installation!!!
• Added multipage support!!!
• Added full currency support for Dollar, Pound, and Euro as well as the ability to not user a money sign!!!
• Fixed problem with product descriptions not being added to page
• Added Zen Cart integrated error and status alerts.
• Added more error checking.
• Removed need for JSON support.

Installation:

1. Go to http://apps.facebook.com/storeupdater, to install the autoFacebook Lite app.
2. Fill in your infomation, and select your page to see a preview of how the listing will look on your page.
3. After clicking submit, you will your page's page Id.
4. Copy and paste that number into line 91 of the included update_product.php, save, and upload the file to your server's admin/includes/modules folder

Download:

• http://htmyell.com/autofacebook-light

Just so I am clear, the new version still automatically post all newly added products to facebook without limitation. For example if we add 500 products in one day, there will be 500 updates on Facebook for that day?

Thanks!

Yeah, for now.

The option to set a limit on posts (either by number per day setting, or check box when entering product) for higher volume updaters is in the to-do list... I promise.

Just tried the new version Jamie and everything seems to work 100%
Thanks for all your work :)

I have tried to install the autoFacebook but I cannot make it work. Now I want to try out the autoFacebook Lite. I have installed on my facebook and it didn't work for me. Could anyone tell me what I should do step by step? For e.g., in the setup I don't know what should I put in the username? And do I need to upload all the files from the autoFacebook to the server as well? Should I just leave blank in the $app_id, $app_secret, $page_token..? Thanks for your help.

It would help to know how it's not working for you, what errors you're getting, etc. Especially with autoFacebook Lite, since it's really just copy and pasting a number and uploading update_product.php to your server's admin/includes/modules foler

I don't have any error during the intstallation and adding products. There is just nothing happened to my facebook page after added products. Ok, here was my steps:

1. created a page in facebook
2. i found out now how to setup a username in facebook too
3. install autoFacebook lite, select my page and enter the URL (see the attachment)
4. past the page id to $app_id in update_product.php (located at /admin/includes/modules)
5. i have left out these variables blank ( $app_secret, $page_id, $page_token, $store_name, $store_url, $cur, $new_message ) in update_product.php (is that correct? or should i delete them?)
6. i have also uploaded facebook.php and facebook_authorization.php to my server (is it necessary?)

Please tell me if I have done anything incorrectly. Thanks.

additional information about my post earlier, I was using Easy Populate to add products without any error. I have tested again to adding product manually and there is an error: "Facebook Error: Error validating application".
