With the following PHP script, when we add new product in Zen Cart, it will automatically publish the product on Twitter.
(It can be added to /admin/includes/modules/update_product.php )
// BOF twitter feed
if ($action == 'insert_product')
{
$purl = zen_catalog_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $products_id);
$tinyPurl = file_get_contents('http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url='.$purl);
function updateStatus($user, $password, $message)
{
$url = "http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml";
$curl = curl_init($url);
$data = array('status'=>$message);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $user.':'.$password);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:'));
$result = @curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
return $result;
}
$message = STORE_NAME . ' has a new product. ' . $tinyPurl;
$user = 'YYYYYYYYY';
$password = 'XXXXXXXXX';
$result = updateStatus($user, $password, $message);
$messageStack->add_session($result, 'error');
}
// EOF twitter feed
