AutoFacebook [Support]

andreitero:

First of all, thanks a lot for this great contribution, i'm sure more and more store owners will use it in the future.
I have just finished installing it and it works great, except 2 little details:

1. Price is in $. I sell in £. How would i change the currency?
2. The product description is not showing. I tried your fix as per post 25 with no result. The image, tittle, everything else is working properly. If you would like to see it for yourself, here is the link to the facebook store page:
   http://www.facebook.com/pages/Peterlee/Shoestastic/116040918428230?ref=ts

Ok, i managed the price, it was easy, still struggling with the description, any suggestions would help a lot, Cheers!

When I click on Go to Application in step 13, I get the following error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/toucho3/public_html/pagansupplyshop/fbcanvas/php/facebook.php on line 38

Could someone please help me figure out what I did wrong?

Thanks!

Nevermind, my PHP5 wasn't on. smack myself

I know I'm tired, but I have no clue what I did wrong here. After I add the product, I get the following message:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'FacebookRestClientException' with message 'The user hasn't authorized the application to perform this action' in /home/toucho3/public_html/pagansupplyshop/admin/includes/modules/facebook/php/facebookapi_php5_restlib.php:3374 Stack trace: #0 /home/toucho3/public_html/pagansupplyshop/admin/includes/modules/facebook/php/facebookapi_php5_restlib.php(932): FacebookRestClient->call_method('facebook.stream...', Array) #1 /home/toucho3/public_html/pagansupplyshop/admin/includes/modules/update_product.php(170): FacebookRestClient->stream_publish('New Product!', '{"name":"Test3"...', '[{"text":"Htmye...') #2 /home/toucho3/public_html/pagansupplyshop/admin/product.php(62): require('/home/toucho3/p...') #3 {main} thrown in /home/toucho3/public_html/pagansupplyshop/admin/includes/modules/facebook/php/facebookapi_php5_restlib.php on line 3374

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It might be face book... what happens after you click the 'step 2' link? Ive noticed facebook is going through a lot of problems right now. I kept getting redirected to a black page in recent tests... if i clicked the empty (black) screen it would move forward. If you ever get to look at the facebook forums you'll see that just about every developer is extremely annoyed with facebook right now. They moved to their "open graph" platform without telling anyone (so that we could adjust our scripts) and now everythings breaking right and left. and the worst part is their new API (that was supposed to be a "renewed support for developers" or whatever) is incomplete and totally undocumented. Anyway (make sure you followed the steps in this forum) try again later, and i'll look into it tomorrow or sunday.

Hi Jamie,
nothing happens when I click the step 2 link it just stays on the same page, I have had loads of tries but same thing always happens.

Sorry everyone, I was away all weekend and didnt have my laptop:

Hey how did you manage to fix the price... I'm still working on a solution for the rest, although i've posted just about every idea I can think of, it works on 3 of my servers and my local with no problems, it just seems as if different things work for different people.

It seems as though something went wrong in the application creation/installation during the tutorial. I would go back and try again maybe. It seems like you're missing offline access or wall post permissions. However it might just be an application setting on the facebook end.

Hi Jamie,
nothing happens when I click the step 2 link it just stays on the same page, I have had loads of tries but same thing always happens. Did you enter your app url right? and is everything in the application settings set up right? Unfortunately facebook is buggy as hell lately since they've switched to the new Open Graph API. I was having a problem with a black page loading on step two myself but the problem went away.

Keep me posted and I'll try to help as best I can.

I simply used the html code for the pound sign, which is ```

I have this same problem, but I have no idea how to turn PHP5 on... Can you please assist me on how you had this fixed?

thanks

I found a Readme File in the admin secton that says we can rollback to PHP4, because this mod only works with PHP5, anyone have any ideas on how to make this work??? I appreciate any ideas...

usually this is done in cPanel or your host's control panel. If you can't find it contact who ever hosts your files

For anyone who'd like to help me figure out this problem with the descriptions/price/whatever not showing up

Try this.

echo "<pre>";
var_dump($_POST);
exit;

right after where you see: > //end of autofacebook

Now go and add a test product (make sure you fill everything out like you normally would however if you're images are working there is no need to upload another one, just leave it blank). After you click 'preview' and then 'insert' you should see a bunch of text. Copy it and paste it in a PM to me.

Now remove the code you added from above.

Note: this will still add the fake product to your store and facebook so be sure to delete them.

Hi Jamie,

I'm using ver 138b zencart and trying to install autofacebook. Everything seems pretty straight forward, but when I am trying to do the facebook app thing I get this message:

Step 1:

Once you have added this application to your Store's Page,
Click Here to allow all permissions to your app.
Errors while loading page from application

Parse errors:

FBML Error (line 4): illegal tag "noscript" under "fb:canvas"
Any idea what that means? I've verified line four in the php file(lines 4,5,6,7) to make sure the api key, app secret, page number and canvas url are all correct. Dont know where else to look....

Thanks

What file does this need to go in?

Nevermind.. figured it out lol, was having a blonde moment lol

To add a new product I always copy a product and replace the name and image, this is because my products have atleast 10 to 20 attribute option names and I do not need to insert those attributes once I copy a a product and rename it.

This module does not recognize this as a new product so no update.

Can you tell me how to tackle this problem ??

Thanks for a great module.

Thanks again for a great mod!

Thanks for your response. I did that but same result. I got "API Error Code: 100
API Error Description: Invalid parameter
Error Message: Param fbconnect must be a boolean" and I corrected it according to your direction give in the page 1. I also followed your direction now. I paste the line to the 1.3.9 version update_product.php file but the result is the same. Please do a favour.

Thanks.

I had the same error and this fixed it:

Disabled "New Data Permissions" under the migrations tab in your facebook application.

hope this helps.. cheers!

I have recently added this mod and got it working with the disable new data permissions and changing the connect url but lastnight whenever i added a product all i was getting was a blank page and no update to facebook. I ran the debug error logging utility and it pointed to this mod.

I looked at the settings and now my connect url has changed and it says you cannot point to a facebook domain.

Any ideas?

I keep getting this error at step 14.

API Error Code: 100
API Error Description: Invalid parameter
Error Message: next is not owned by the application.

Anyone has any idea?
Thanks in advance

Has anyone had this problem? Here is the error I get when I am finishing up 17 of the install.
Congrats, All Done! Permissions Granted.

Your Infinite Session Key is:
