AutoFacebook [Support]

jamielife:

hello,

autoFacebook 2.0 is now available! :clap:

This should fix the API Error Code: 100 issue a lot of people are having.

And hopefully a lot of other stuff as well.

It will also now give you Zen-Cart style messages letting you know what went wrong or if it was a success when you add a product.

it's been uploaded to the contirbutions section but for those of you who don't want to wait it's available at http://htmyell.com/autofacebook-2-0/

As always I will try my best to support this via this thread and my site.

Let me know what you think,
Jamie

Jamie thank you for updating the module works great except one thing. I can not get it to pull the item description for some reason. It will just post the item name, price, picture and link but no description. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hmmm, try changing line 104 to:

$prod_description = implode(" ", $_POST['products_description']);

Hi Jamielife that didn't work either. You can see what i'm talking about [here](http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Good-Shepherd-Store/211550147855). Thank you again

Ok how bout just:

$prod_description = $product_description[1]; 

or

$prod_description = $_POST['products_description'][1]; 

Feature Request - Is it possible to somehow limit how many post per day? We literarily add 100s of products if not 1000s to our site on a weekly basis. Updating our Facebook page with every new product will drive our fans crazy and definitely will pass as a spam.

Thanks!

It is possible i'll look into it for the next release. Good idea.

Hi jamielife thank you for the help. I tried both the other codes still nothing. I have racked my brain on this but still unsuccessful.

Just about all those work for me.

Maybe try adding

echo "<pre>";
var_dump($_POST['products_description']);
exit;

just before

//AutoFacebook  

somewhere around line 90-ish

let me know what it says

Yeah it was designed to do that, I just needed to see the structure of the products_description array.

Go a head and delete those 3 lines for now.

I'm looking into this.

this is kind of a shot in the dark but try changing around line 120 where you see:

'description'       =>  $prod_description,   

to:

'description'       =>  $_POST['products_description'][1],

That does not work either Jamielife.

Another issue I found when loading the facebook_authorization.php

Strict Standards: main() [function.main]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/New_York' for 'EDT/-4.0/DST' instead in /home/xxxx/public_html/facebook_authorization.php on line 970

Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /home/xxxx/public_html/facebook_authorization.php on line 970

Success!

Your page's ID is:

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

This is for another site I tried it on

Success!

Any idea what maybe causing this?

Turn erorr reporting off and now getting this via ftp

[30-Aug-2010 02:30:58] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught QueryParseException: An active access token must be used to query information about the current user.
  thrown in /home/xxxx/public_html/facebook/facebook_authorization.php on line 532

Only thing is I have checked the ID and Secret a hundred times

Open this in firefox and look at the error

https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=146625578704075&redirect_uri=http://grapediscounts.com/facebook/facebook_authorization.php&client_secret=559487429543aab60bad99653acbab8e&code=]Error Message

When running the facebook_authorize.php I get the following error and cannot proceed to the success page to get the page's ID and page's token

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

here is the info that I have entered as per instructions

1. on facebook created application: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=137653992944479

2. Facebook Application Web Site: Site URL: http://www.my-chef.org/cart/
   Site Domain: my-chef.org

3. Facebook Intergration: uncheck users and checked Facebook Pages left everything else blank

4. I get my Application ID" and "Application Secret"

5. I insert those values into the facebook_authorize.php and upload to temp directory http://my-site.org/facebook/ and run file

The error quoted above is the return from running the script.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I have done incorrectly and maybe able to assist me in correcting this error?

Did you add your domain to the application settings under "WebSite" inside the facebook app?

4. For now we need to click "Web Site" on the left 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 "/"

Thank you for your response Yes I have added as instructed the domain name in the Web Site tab of the application (image(s) attached for verification) as well as for the Facebook Integration

code from the facebook_authorization.php which is uploaded into the directory facebook on the my-chef.org site

//edit with your info
$app_id = "137653992944479"; //given when you created app
$app_secret = "2724333d3ea0a08ec5149cd4b0db8a88"; //given when you created app
$app_location = "http://my-chef.org/facebook/facebook_authorization.php"; //full path to location of this file. see step 7
//no need to edit below this line

Note in rerunning the script again I now have received a success along with page id and page token.

I'm not sure what was going on but I am sure happy for the positive results.

Thank you for your response!!!

Glad you got it work out., but never put your actually facebook
app_id number, app_secret number down so other people can see it, Big mistake. I would delete that application and make another one if this is your actual numbers.
