AutoFacebook [Support]

I've got mine back working again, here is what I did. I'll be referring back to my post in this thread on I believe page 16 I lay out how to gleam all your account information from FB.

I re-ran that script and updated my list locally. At first it did not look like much had changed. So anyway in the process of testing I opened my editor and copied and paste the NEW "access token" (referred to in the mod as page token on line 92) that I had just gotten from FB and inserted into where the old one was in the update_product.php uploaded the revised file back up onto my server (remember to always back up your original file first).

Then went into my zen cart, setup a test category and created a test product with price, description and image then uploaded it with success.

I will be testing the other FB pages I manage to make sure they all begin updating properly from the various zen carts that I also manage.

Cool now I can get back to my Thanksgiving Menu LOL

I did this the other day but it didn't work for me for some reason. The new NEW "access token" gave me a permission problem when iserting a new product. Ummmm I will have to look at this a little closer.

I am not sure here is what I do know I have gone back and checked which version that I had uploaded, it is the 2.0 version (I now remember since I had everything working I did not see the need to upgrade) and made sure that I had the latest copies of the Page Access Tokens as mentioned earlier.

Everyone of my FB pages is updating properly.

Good Luck!

Version 2.0 is what I'm running. Did you do anything different on the **Facebook Integration? **The install document states. Now click "Facebook Integration" on the left. Towards the bottom you should see "Installable to?". Uncheck "Users" and add a check next to "Facebook Pages" instead.
It's not on that page any longer. Either that or I don't know what I'm doing I guess.

I created a new application and got it to work. I sure wish facebook would inform us ahead of time so we would be prepared.

Nope the only thing I needed to do was re-upload the access tokens back up and it took. Guess I was lucky then.

Glad you have it back and running again:smile:

The version of Zen Cart is v1.3.9g
Server OS: Linux 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5xen
PHP Version: 5.2.12 (Zend: 2.2.0)

I have installed the Autofacebook, problem; when I run the facebook_authorization.php and it does not return the page's ID and Page's Token needed for update_product.php or it returns the following:
$page_id = ". $pagetoken = $accounts['data'][0]['id'] ."
$page_token = ". $accounts['data'][0]['access_token']."

I have just created the facebook account with Sell Buy Share, not sure what I have done wrong?

I have installed and used for about 4 weeks autofacebook lite (more robust version :cool:) but in the last 2 weeks new store items aren't getting posted anymore. I have not changed my page settings, is there any kind of monthly limit amount of updates?

I have installed and try autofacebook 2.0: same problem.

Anybodyelse with these problems?

Ok i have found!
No amount limits
I have reinstalled autofacebook 2.0 and set just one facebook fan page. it's working.

There 's no need to choose "facebook's user or pages installation" during app's creation, cause fb have deleted this option.

Now iam trying to set up Autofacebook lite!

I dont know if it can be useful, but
I had same problem, and i was wrong.

In facebook_authorization.php i had to set

$app_location = "http://www.site.com/facebook_authorization.php"

and put file "facebook_authorization.php" on my root directory.

in the standard facebook/facebook_authorization.php form it won't work

Does it work if I use the easypopulate to import products massively?

Well I've wasted a lot of hours trying to get this to work and I'm not very chuffed :cry:

The consensus of opinion after reading through the thread seems to be that the mod no longer works, or does anyone have a solution to the problem?

I recently installed this mod.

It works......

But it only sends to FB the newly created products that are actually created from a blank "new product" form. When we create a new product by copying a current product and then change info to make the new product then these new products don't show on FB. Not really good because we almost always create new products from old product pages.

Any solution to this?

Ah... that explains it! I've been doing the same thing and creating all my new products by copying from a premade product template.

Hi - I have installed the auto facebook and it works fine BUT like others I would be really interested to know if (or when) you have a mod which auto posts on Facebook when you UPDATE a product instead of having to make a new product from scratch. Almost everyone uses the copy function to add new products. Thanks - hope to hear from you. Paul

Which version of the Autofacebook you using? Lite or the Original

Hi,

I had this module installed and working perfectly, however now it says "Facebook Error: Error validating access token." when i try and insert a new product and will not post to my facebook page.

I am completely sure that there is nothing that has caused this error as i have not been on the store since i last posted a product and it was working then, i am also not the only person experiencing this error. On page 25 of this thread lina0962 has the same problem -- post number #244

As i have not done anything to cause this, could it be something facebooks end? I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me on this as i have Googled for hours to no avail. The only other mention of this error is from lina0962 as mentioned earlier.
:(

Here is a link to the post from the other person with this error http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=950210&postcount=244

Not knowing which version you are using lite or the original but the Lite version seems to be having issues all the time nevertheless the original still works but does have small and ignorable problems.

The developers app has changed and because of it this app (original version) quit working and forced us to do it all over again.

Have you tried resetting up the app to see if that works?

Hi,

Thank you for your reply, i am not sure which version i have so here is the link to where i downloaded it from http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=1623 It is the module labeled AutoFacebook in the Free Software addons section.

I have tried resettingup the ap and i experience the following problem, when i try the facebook_autorization.php it returns back to my site without displaying the token as it did before. I know that it works as i have done this once before and it was working flawlessly. Now i cant even generate a new autorization code page.

Is there a particular method to reinstalling that i am missing, as all i have done is delete the files and repeat the process in the instructions.

It seems you are using the latest version for the original modification by Jamie so I will try to put together a little instruction guide for you to follow with the new FaceBook application settings.

I recommend resetting the entire update_product.php file if you do not have trace or notes of what may have happened so starting over maybe the best solution at this point. Also you could try using the AutoFaceBook lite version by Jamie as well.

Start over to gain the new Developer App facebook has changed your old app maybe corrupted due to the old is deprecated

Small Guide First Half

One important note I do not guarantee this will work but has worked for us and for best results use a browser other then IE if possible and be sure to keep the browser open until you have the Page ID and the Key

1. Login to facebook
2. Go to facebook.com/developer
3. Add new application
4. Application Name - Name It Whatever You Want
5. Agree to the terms
6. Create Application
7. Fill in Security words if prompted

If success then you will be sent to the main application page

Second Half Of Guide.

1. You will now be on the About Page - Make sure everything is the way you want it mainly the App Name and Email address is all you need here

2. On the left click WebSite - fill in the Site URL Ex; http:// www. yourdomain .com/ without the spaces of course make sure the trailing slash is in place

3. On this same page Site Domain fill this in with example.com of course using your own domain no trailing slash

Ignore FaceBook Integration this is not needed unless you know what you are doing

Ignore Mobile Devices it is also not needed unless you know what you are doing

Ignore Advanced Tab leave everything as is no need to change anything here

Now

• Click Save Changes

Second Half Completed

Third Half

1. Take the file facebook_authorization.php fill in all the blanks as you have done before

A. Application ID
B. Application Secret
C. Make SURE the address of the facebook_authorization.php is correct before trying to connect if you have it in a sub directory other then your root directory be sure to list it in this file
-Save File Upload to your location specified in this file

2. Make sure you fill in the same fields required in the admin --> includes --> modules --> update_product.php and use a fresh file to ensure it is not the twitter code messing with the app secrets and keys.
   -Save File and upload
   -If this works you can always add twitter back in

3. Now go to the applications page you just created and allow that application post to the page of your choice either an existing or a new one

4. Now in another window or tab but the same browser go to http:// www. yourwebsite .com/facebook_authorization.php or whatever you have it uploaded and see what happens if done correctly you should get FaceBook Allow Access Page, Click Allow
   Then you should get your Page ID and Key.

Hope this works for you and every one else.

If this does not work you can try the lite version as I mentioned earlier
