AutoFacebook [Support]

is anyone here having issues with their autofacebook lite? it worked for me until days ago and nothing has changed except i think, a newer fb layout??

im having trouble installing this as facebook developers screen have changed andf all the button are now different. Can some create new installation instructions please.

stuck on step 4

4. For now we need to click "Web Site" on the left (not that i can see) and edit our **"Site URL" **and our "Site Domain".
   The Site URL is simply your store's web address followed by a '/' forward slash. So it should look something like "http://mystore.com/"
   Your Site Domain is just your domain name 'dot' whatever and could look like "mystore.com". No "http://", no "www.", and no "/"

5. Now click "Facebook Integration" on the left (i cant see this either). Towards the bottom you should see "Installable to?" (or this). Uncheck "Users"****(or this) and add a check next to "Facebook Pages"****(or this) instead.

Hey, I just filled out what I can and FINALLY got Autofacebook 2.0 to work without any problems. Those other things you have to look for, I couldnt find and doesnt seem to exist.

Trying to use AFB Lite. But can't seem to install the app thru facebook.

I try to install as "My Page" and i get error message from FB telling me: "To access this page, you'll need to switch from using Facebook as your page to using Facebook as yourself."

so i click the button "Continue as Me", it redirects me back to http://apps.facebook.com/storeupdater/

but when i click the dropdown to "Select Page" i get the error popup saying "The page at http://jamielife.ipower..com says Please create a facebook page before continuing or login on your page's account....but i can't do it as my page. :dontgetit

Any help appreciated,
Ken

This is kind of off subject but for the life of me I can not figure out how to post my own thread for help.... Sorry....

My question if anyone can help me,
I added this code to my product_info_display.php

It works fine, but in the process it took away my rounded corners at the bottom of my page. Does anyone know how to fix that?

Sorry again, I cant figure out how to post a new topic/question.
Thanks anyone who replies :)

I am not so sure how to view my app? I am looking at it but I don't see any of my products...

I added a new product to my website and it automatically populate into my facebook app using the autofacebook of course... but my problem is in facebook it is showing different price value than what I have listed. Why is this?

:clap: :flex: :bigups: :wink: :shocking: :cool:

Got it, SO ******* happy with myself right now.

I've worked out how to format php output from zen cart to facebook and twitter. :P

Look for this line:

$price = $products_price;

> ```
    $vat = .20;
    $price = (number_format(( $products_price + $products_price * $vat), 2, '.', ''));
```that sorts facebook.
> 
> if your using Autotweet as well
> 
> look for this line:
> ```
if ($showprice){ $message .=  ' Only $' . $products_price . '.'; }
```and edit to this:
>  ```
if ($showprice){ $message .= ' Only £' . number_format(( $products_price + $products_price * $vat), 2, '.', '') . ' !'; }
```That only tookm me two days, bring on the hard stuff.


what file is this? which file do I need to edit?

Are you asking why it shows your SALE PRICE as opposed to your REGULAR PRICE? If that is the question then it is because this mod shows the REGULAR PRICE only.
What I did was remove the pricing code so it only shows the pic and product name on FB.
This will force users to click on it to go to your website to see the price.

Hi not an expert, but you might want to remove the style declaration "border:none; from your added code. It may be affecting all borders.

Might also need to post a link to your site so people can get an overall look.

So everything is working fine and dandy for me at the moment with autofacebook and autoweet.. What I would like though and i'm no programmer is that when fb automatically updates, it gives us a "like" and "comment" option, but no share. Any idea if this can be programmed in to the code?

armie:

First the easy question:
The price you are seeing is the price without TAX or VAT or whatever added.

The mod to the file corrects that. so that if you live in a country where we are not used to seeing TAX added at the sale end you don't give miss-leading prices to customers.

Sorry willie bee it has nothing to do with sales.

This would be edits to the file whatever-admin/includes/modules/update_product.php.

You would be looking for the section that starts

  //// INSERT PRODUCT-TYPE-SPECIFIC *UPDATES* HERE //////
  ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////

//AutoFacebook

in this section look below your:
$app_id = "8888888888888"; //given when you created app
$app_secret = "a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a"; //given when you created app
$page_id = "1234567890987654321"; //obtained from running facebook_authorization.php from your browser
$page_token = "blahblahblahblah"; //long number obtained from facebook_authorization.php
$store_name = "AML Candles"; // store name i.e. "Mary's Car Shop", or "MikesCupcakes.com."
$store_url = 'http://amlcandles.co.uk'; //path to your store without the trailing "/"
$cur = '£'; //change to your currency symbol. Assumes symbol comes in front of numbers
$new_message = "Scented Soy Wax Candles!"; // change to whatever or leave the same. i.e "New Cupcake!"

There is a line that says (ironically)
// No Need to edit below here.
about line number 116: (in my version anyway)

below that you'll see

About line 123: $price = $products_price; //this is what you need to edit first

Add the lines of code you seen in the other post and that sorts the VAT issue for both Auto-Facebook and Auto-Tweet.

If you need to clean up your postings to get rid of the html from your product descriptions you need to edit the line.

around line 119:

There were a few optional line commented out there so just pick the one that looks similar to:

$products_description = strip_tags($products_description);

That cleans things up if you haven't done so already.

Think you might find that Facebook would have something to say about an app that auto liked every update you posted.

Have looked at the service offered by http://www.addthis.com/

here it is in place if you've not see it before One of My Candles

Might be what your looking for.

My auto facebook has stopped working. It still says it successfully updated Facebook, but nothing there's no post on Facebook. Any ideas?

I finally got it working. I had to add the info to the files again. It had disappeared.

But I do have one question:

Why does facebook_authorization.php give me the wrong page ID?
My app hasn't changed (app ID 168001189921933)

I know I've entered the correct information in facebook_authorization.php, but when I run it, it gives me the wrong page ID.

When I add new products, the posts appear of the page for hekse.no (page ID 215552908467021), but my app is for the page heksebua (page ID ). I could change the page ID in update_product.php manually, but I don't know what to do about the page token.

Found my page token by using the method described on this page

http://paugay.com/blog/2011/11/get-facebook-access_token.html

I am after a little help please.

I updated my password on facebook and now get the following error in Zen Cart when I insert a new product:

Facebook Error: Error validating access token: The session has been invalidated because the user has changed the password.

I have run the facebook_authorization.php which generates a new token and page i.d then there is a message which says.

Now just copy and paste these codes to the included update_product.php.

I cannot find the update_product.php. file anywhere in my cpanel, i have looked under includes, modules but i cannot see the file i need to edit.

My other question is how do i edit the php file if and when i ever find it?

Any help would be most welcome since i have spent the last 5 hours on this with now joy

The update_product.php file is located in the following directory.

admin - includes - modules

Also use an FTP program such as Flash FXP to find the file and not cPanel.

To edit this file the best program I have found is EditPad Lite and it's free! You can download a copy from the following URL.

Thank you for the reply, As a complete newbie to this i have no idea where to find the admin - includes - modules?

I log into my cpanel and i can find includes-modules which is located in my public html but i cannot for the life of me find the admin folder, as stated im a complete newbie.

Where do i find the admin folder is that somewhere within the cpanel or is it located in my zencart?

Hi Frankie, Good New Year to you.

You might be better of downloading to your PC and working from there. AFAIK cPanel can cuase some problems with editing php files.

Pop over here and download FileZilla this sets up the a ftp client on your PC.

You can then safely work on a local copy of your files with out running a risk of breaking your site without a backup in place.

Depending on the server your Shop is loaded on the Admin folder could be named; admin or zc_admin, or if someone set it up for you that had a bit of smarts and was security aware it could be called anything from adimnfrankie to z23mdi6kd9nvh502nfutoagbbb4, the more obscure the name the better basic security you have.

Once tou have a local copyit may be easlier to find update_product.php by searching for the file name.

Hope this helps. Billy
