AutoFacebook [Support]

knuckle-101:

What you want to do is go through the entire process create the page id etc with the facebook authorization file.

Once this is completed you have all your API secret and app id add all that to the proper lines in update_product.php put the page ID of your Shop page instead of the Page ID created in the process, once this is completed saved and uploaded to your ftp go to your application page (profile) and allow the appilication access the Shop Profile page this is all you have to do

what is exactly "your application page (profile)"? is it https://developers.facebook.com/apps?

lina0962:

graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?type=user_agent&client_id=APPID&redirect_uri=URL&scope=publish_str eam,offline_access,manage_pages

Is it right to have "," instead of "."?

Can anybody be kind to tell me how to replace URL with your connect URL (Facebook Application dialog)? Please give me an example!!

See your URL above - you have uri (with the letter I) INSTEAD of url (with the letter L) - could this be the problem?

It can be made to update facebook for copied products, there are some alterations that need to be done. I offered up how to do this as well as specify when it would update fb, so for instance if you were updating a product description you could specify whether or not to post if to fb. No one took me up on the offer so I didn't bother spending the time. I guess I will post it here and perhaps update the zip in the downloads.

I couldn't get the fb app to work properly so used the older version (not the lite). My changes are for using this older version.

Hello,

I am exatremly interested!!! Could you please tell me where I can download the zip and instructions??

Hi I'm having the following error come up:

Fatal error: Uncaught OAuthException: Malformed access token AAAFiwW3WZBb8BAE6AGtQKjnBBVtCViq77209KfM5RhUGcVrzq6cIUal9rj6FZBFGNandURjiIQZAIn2olY3xCHxgEhls3UrqVMJZC6yfIgZDZD&expires thrown in /hermes/bosweb/web103/b1031/ipg.assceneoncom/facebook/facebook_authorization.php on line 532

Can you please let me know how I can go on?

So instead of:

$prod_description = urlencode($prod_description);

> 
> Try:
> ```php
$prod_description = strip_tags($prod_description);  

Hello and thank you for this great tool.
I have tried everything to post the description but i keep having problems. I tried everything but still no luck. When i used "urlencode" i saw my post like that

"%0D%0A%09%26Tau%3B%26omicron%3B%26nbsp%3BMicrosoft%26nbsp%3BWireless%26nbsp%3BMobile%26nbs"

I have attathed a photo. When i try the above solution there is no description at all. I am using CKEditor and my language is greek.

@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'greek');
define('HTML_PARAMS','dir="ltr" lang="gr"');
// charset for web pages and emails
define('CHARSET', 'greek');

Is there something i am doing wrong or i have to try something else.

Thank you in advance.

I am having to renew my token so I run the athorization.php and get the following in Chrome:

{
"error": {
"message": "Invalid redirect_uri: Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 191
}
}

Any ideas ho to fix?

Make sure you use the correct settings to your Autofacebook module. Check and confirm the following are the same as to your application page ---> https://developers.facebook.com/apps/

$appapikey = ''; //you application id
$appsecret = ''; // your application secret
$user_id = ""; //the user id of your fan/product page
$app_url = "http://apps.facebook.com/htmyell_backend"; //url to your facebook application page

Okay. The best thing to do is get rid of the script. This stopped working for me along time ago so I stopped playing with it. What worked for me until I dont know when (last post was nov 8,2012) was autotweet. I link my twitter account to my Facebook page and both gets updated with a bit.ly link. Only today for some reason it no longer works 01/12/12 and I've been trying to get it to work again for the last few hours. So if someone can help me with that would be great. :-D

I would appreciate anyone who actually has this still working to respond to this thread - so I can see how you have done it.

cheers,
Miker

Hi Everyone,

I've just released autoFacebook 2.1. I know it's been awhile and it's not so much an update as it is just updated video instructions. I also go over enabling automatic facebook posts on update as well as new products, adding an icon to your app so that it displays on your page's feed, and enabling different forms of currency.

Currently it's only available at: http://htmyell.com/autofacebook-2-1/. However I'm uploading it to ZenCart now.

WELL DONE Jamie !!!

This upgrade and especially the instruction video is fantastic. I have grappled with the previous version without success but this one works a treat and the instructional video allows for installing and configuring step by step.

I have put this on four(4) sites today so far and will put it on a couple more before the day is out.

Just love the 'Product Update' feature as well - great stuff.

Again well done (and to others who may have assisted),

cheers,
Mike

Hmmm without any more information, it's hard to say why that would happen. Just to confirm, you have created a separate facebook page, and have followed the video at: http://youtu.be/IfW42McTKyE

Thanks for the details! It appears that this is a problem with your hosting company. It looks as though they may be blocking the ports needed for your site to connect to facebook. See this article: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9950315/facebook-api-call-returns-curlexception-7. You may want to hit up their tech support and see if there's anything they can do to enable the connection.

thanks for your prompt response. will chech with the hosting company about this.

This is a great mod. Just one thing, with the new version, if I put in '£' as the currency symbol, it outputs the symbol on facebook with a question mark in a diamond shape - �

Not sure if it is a charset issue, but I did alter that according to a guide. Any help is great, maybe other people are having the same issue. I am using GBP at the moment until I can figure it out lol.

Well darn, I thought I had figured it out. Unfortunately character encoding/charsets and all that isn't my area of expertise. I know when I set my charset to 'UTF-8 w/o BOM' as per the video I was able to see GBP, Euro, and the Yen. However maybe there's something else missing. What IDE are you using to change the encoding?
