Facebook Pixel

Does anyone have a module that will add Facebook Pixel to the order page and also to the checkout pages?

You may wish to check with https://www.modulesgarden.com/ - they have a profile here on the forums as well so maybe you could also PM them.

They're one of those companies that writes modules for all sorts of billing/automation systems, and CMS's too. They're based in Poland - like HostBill.

As I understand it, almost everyone in the world has abandoned HostBill, but there are a few dedicated programmers (search here in the forums for those folks) who will endeavor to help you in what I'm going to call an excercise in futulity - IMO, what you need to do is abandon HostBill by migrating your customer base to a sound and reputable platform before something catastrophic happens.

I did contact them because they made modules for me before. But all they say is that the currently do not do any HostBill developments...

Yes I kind of gathered that. I don't see any HostBill modules there now. I've got some old ones but I know that most no longer work. It's almost as if HostBill pushed out commits that broke the functionality of 3rd party developer modules people had purchased.

Even if you were content to write your own modules, you would have to contend with HostBill breaking them - even against their own published standards. If you're interested I've discovered that this old repo by HostBill themselves still exists:
https://github.com/hostbill

You might want to consider that a major module publisher won't have anything to do with HostBill - in fact, I think they were the very last commercial developer still producing modules for HostBill and finally just abandoned the effort.

I would take that as writing on the wall, personally.

I hope that helps!

Only had that happen once to me, and that was because I on-the-fly modified some content code where the whole order page changed. All other modules, plugins, class API's I use still behave the same after years.

The problem mostly is that there is _NO_ documentation so you can only guess and then often guess wrong. Even if something works, that doesn't mean you use it the way it's supposed to be used

Attached is a plugin for Google Analytics / Facebook Pixel integration. Content is injected through the header and currently differentiates between the actions "normal page",  "initiate checkout" (cart step 0) and "add to cart" (cart summary).
Install by copying the contained file and folder (yes that folder is supposed to be empty!) in includes/modules/Other, then activating through Hostbill admin area. It has two configuration options, once your Facebook Pixel-ID and once your Google Analytics ID.

Note: please check if your license allows third-party plugins before installing. Released unter GPLv3.
