Could you give a link to your page ? 2/ I've had a quick look at the auto facebook plugin: [ extensions.joomla.org/extensions/social-...l-auto-publish/10776](http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/social-web/social-auto-publish/10776) It shouldn't be too much work to modify it as a hikashop plugin instead of a content plugin and implement the onAfterProductCreate(&$element) and onAfterProductUpdate(&$element) method of our API [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/6...r-documentation.html](http://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/62-hikashop-developer-documentation.html) in order to achieve the same functionality.

[ www.dalesestateliquidation.com](http://www.dalesestateliquidation.com) is the site I am working on.

You have the change the whole content of that function as the articles in joomla and the products in hikashop don't have the same structure and the same functions. So it still requires that you know what you're doing in PHP.
