Hi guys,
is there a script to show my realtime weather condictions on Facebook?
I saw that there is a script about twitter but not about facebook.
Many thanks,
Alessandro
If you have a twitter page, just adding the hash tag #fb will allow you to
update your Facebook page with Selective Twitter which is an available application on Facebook
x.com updates to Redirecting...

This does what you are asking for
Weather Display Conditions Messenger PHP Script
It can post to a phone, email, facebook, and twitter at the same.
I post my forecasts at 6AM and 6PM to my phone, facebook, and twitter at the same time with my script:
NWS Weather Forecast Messenger PHP Script
I figured out how to send my tweets to Facebook. This is how:
Log into Facebook and go to this app:
Click settings and add your Twitter username, then grant permissions.
End a tweet with #fb when you want it to update your Facebook status - simple.
I made a Facebook page for 642weather, then made a personal profile for myself, I am the admin of the page now.
Pages and profiles are two different things.
I tried this, worked great…
Hi Mike!
I set your script up but the test is failed.
What kind of problem could it be?
Thanks for your help,
Alessandro

Did you setup a cron job? does it use CURL and have the username and password?
my current server uses this style crontab:
curl -d ‘username=your_username&password=your_password’ Weather Display Conditions Messenger PHP Script by Mike Challis >/dev/null 2>&1

Hi Mike,
unfortunately i don’t know CURL.
How to use it?
Now i set Windows Task Scheduler to make a HTTP Request to the URL http://www.meteocarmignano.it/wd-conditions-messenger.php every 1 hour.
Is the same?
I have attached my Fb settings? Are ok?
Thanks,
Alessandro

Edit your wd-conditions-messenger.php and change this setting like this:
$require_post = 0;
also you should rename wd-conditions-messenger.php to something else so that it is hard for the general public to find.
A ask you to set it like this because you are not using cron/curl, instead you are using windows task scheduler. Anytime it is clicked on it could post a twitter.
Hi Mike,
i’ve found a webcron application (http://www.onlinecronjobs.com/en), so i can call your script without windows schedule program!
Although, i don’t manage to upload my facebook status…where is the error?
Thanks again,
Alessandro
Edit 9.36: Finally i have updated my fb status correctly!!
Last question: If i set this parameter like this: $require_post = 0;" should i have necessarily curl installed?
Because if i set it in that mode, my cronjobs doesn’t works anymore.
Edit 13.08: The twitter application updates both Fb status (personal and Meteocarmignano.it).
How to update only meteocarmignano.it?
Thanks
