AutoFacebook [Support]

jamielife:

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?

I had the same problem with Greek encoding so i just replaced the following line so that the Greek Description not to show.

          'link'              =>  $prod_url,
          'caption'           =>  'Price: ' . $price . $cur,
          'description'       =>  'Click for more details',

so i just suggest trying replacing the .$cur, with '£' so that it is like that

'caption' => 'Price: ' . $price '£',

Hello Jamie, and Infogate,

Thanks for your replies. I am not sure what IDE, I am not very tech savvy. I did have a look what IDE is, but not sure if I am using them tools I found in the results. I can try Infogates solution. I did change Charset according to Dr Bytes guide (I think it was his).

Basically it's what ever program you're using to open the files and make changes. You could always download the trial of webuilder if need be.

Infogate's solution might be something to try first. It should be mentioned though, that it should actually look like:

'caption' => 'Price: ' . $price . '£',

I have learnt something today Jamie, many thanks haha. I was using winmerge, but recently Beyond Compare to compare your files with mine. Thanks for telling me what it means.

I have installed autofacebook and think it is working correctly. Anyways apparently this only works if you add the product yourself in admin. I have my products automatically updated daily vis inventory source. Anyways when it updates/adds new products those new products are not added to facebook because i did not manually add them. Is there a way to have this set up so that when my products are automatically added/updated on a daily basis update facebook at the same time?

I think that the tech team dealing with the inventory source has to deal with this. Using the "jamielife" source code i guess it would be easy for them to update the facebook as they managed to update the zen cart automatically.

I love the software, thanks
But I have 2 questions:
Is it possible to link all the posts as a group post on Facebook.?
For example, If I load 20 products today on the website it would be great to be able to load all of them as a group post on facebook.
In addition
Is there a menu item that allows my admin login to turn on and off this feature.?

I love the autofacebook addon. But when I enter a new product into zencart, and click on the 'insert' button it returns me to a blank screen. Just wondering what the problem may be?

I am running zencart 1.5.1.

Is there any way I can get this addon to work with the canada post shipping module installed. One will disable the other.

I just received an APP Alert from facebook for my APP. It says my Ap "needs to be updated for the February 2013 Breaking Changes.
Once your app is compliant, set the migration setting to "Enabled" in the Advanced section of the App Dashboard.
These changes will be permanently enabled for all apps in 1 day on Tuesday, February 5, 2013." HELP PLEASE!!! I have no clue what this means.
I am using zencart Version 1.5 and any help explaining what this means and what I need to do would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi,

I will apologise first cause i am super new to all of this... i have been doing an install of zen cart for our shop and am slowly plodding through. I have got the shop working and mostly loaded now. I have a facebook page for the business and have installed autoFacebook to send updates to facebook... sadly nothing seems to be working for me. I have installed and uninstalled 3 times now in case i stuffed up somewhere and no joy... help please.

Zen cart is version 1.5.1
autofacebook 2.3

I have followed the video to the letter, even down to the update products as well as new products. When I add a new product or change a product my admin is not saying there has been an update to facebook. The facebook app is created and talking to me, as i have set the permissions, but i am now at a loss for what to do.

There is one nagging thought at the back of my head... i have installed a template for zen cart (picadilly posh) and maybe i should be installing to a different directory???

Thanx for any help in advance :-)

just to let you know im un uk and using the £ sign, using your tip to change the encoding in your video worked perfect for me

Thanks Great Mod

I have the same issue, ive installed 100's of mods over the years, I followed the video tutorial to the word, everything else seems to work except as above,

mb_strlen() is one of many multibyte functions that must be enabled in your server's PHP configuration. Talk to your hosting company to change your PHP configuration.

In my opinion, the facebook_authorization.php file should be removed from the root directory of the store when installation has been completed.

If you are getting errors when you first run facebook_authorization.php, check with your hosting company to determine that the server is working as it should.

Great add on, just need to limit the price to two decimal places in facebook

Any thoughts or ideas on this little dilemma of mine yet?

Jamie, is there a way to change when the fb page gets updated with the new product. When I insert a new product into my store, I have it set to out of stock until I'm totally finished linking and updating metatags etc. The mod posts it before I have set it to in stock. Not sure what code would work. Can you help?

Joanne

Anyone? Jamie? I'd really like to have an answer to this question.

Joanne

I looked at this but for a short time. The video instructions online are difficult to follow and even tougher for those of us with hearing issues. It would be nice if instructions were in writing.
