Simple fix for Zend Optimizer and ioncube on Go Daddy
While working on a web design for a client, I came to need to install ionCube and enable Zend Optimizer on a Go Daddy server. I typically do not work on servers that do not allow the higher level of access, so this was a bit new. We had all of the lines in the php.ini file that was already installed:
[Zend]zend_extension=/absolutepath was here/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
zend_extension_manager.optimizer=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.3.3
zend_extension_manager.optimizer_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer_TS-3.3.3
zend_extension=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.3.3/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer_TS-3.3.3/ZendExtensionManager_TS.so
However it just would not work. After going back and forth with tech support, we were sort of left on our own to figure out the issue. We discovered that they require that you rename the php.ini to php5.ini . While this was such a simple thing, we hope that this will save you time if you ever run into one of these quarks during your ionCube or Zend installations.
New way to add a Facebook app to your page
If any of you have been building custom Facebook apps, you will know the old way of adding the application was to go to app page and simply click the “add to my page” button. The new way is just as easy, but if you don’t know how (of course they don’t really tell you), it can be very tiresome looking for directions. Of course there are various tutorials out there, but with Facebook constantly change specs and the way they allow applications, you can try a lot of old information before realizing that none if it is valid.
The new way is simply this url string in your browser once you are signed on: https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&next=YOUR_URL
You can find your app id in the settings and YOUR_URL is actually your canvas page url, which is also in your app settings. Once you do this, you will be able to assign the app to any pages you are admin over via a drop down.
In short this is just another thing to irritate and waste the long time Facebook developers. Hope this saves SOMEONE 45 minutes of searching the web for the answer.
