OK so I need to install that in my php or apache config?

Do you have a dedicated server? If so you should use the apache updater.
Save the build profile of your current server first.

Hello, I installed this a few days ago it's a great hack. But the link isn't showing up in the postbit, just in Thread Tools. Any idea what I've done wrong?

[King Kovifor]

Hello, I installed this a few days ago it's a great hack. But the link isn't showing up in the postbit, just in Thread Tools. Any idea what I've done wrong?

You may have to manually add the link. There is "upgrade" instructions for removing templates, just add the one that is for the postbit.

[Mr Morningstarr]

Yeah that's what I didn't understand. How would removing stuff add the link?

That's why I didn't start messing around with it. I downloaded and installed the latest version, I wasn't upgrading.

[King Kovifor]

That's why I didn't start messing around with it. I downloaded and installed the latest version, I wasn't upgrading.

It's in the upgrade instructions, because there was automatic. But, since yours isn't working, it needs to be added manually. Here:

Open the postbit or postbit_legacy template (depending on what you use). Find:
<if condition="$show['postcount']">#<a href="showpost.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]&amp;postcount=$post[postcount]" target="new" rel="nofollow" id="postcount$post[postid]" name="$post[postcount]"><strong>$post[postcount]</strong></a></if>
Add before that:
<if condition="$post['twitter_username']"><a href="tweet.php?do=post&amp;id=$post[postid]&amp;c=$post[postid]">Tweet this post!</a></if>

FYI King Kovifor, I'm still noticing an error on my users editoptions page after upgrading to v1.0.3. Tried uninstalling the product and reinstalling, which appears to have wiped all the passwords, and yet the error still crops up for every user who's re-entered their twitter username and password. Same one as before.

Warning: mcrypt_decrypt() [function.mcrypt-decrypt]: The IV parameter must be as long as the blocksize in [path]/profile.php(1873) : eval()'d code on line 7

Any idea what could be causing this?

Hm. Even after adding it? It seems your not getting the IV to be saved within the database... Are all your plugins enabled?

[DobieGillis?]

did not work for me at all.

[DobieGillis?]

this screws with Live Topic...sorry. Uninstalled.

[Dream]

As an option for this mod, you can put Twitter on your social bookmarking links on vB :) sending the text directly to twitter.com:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1707384#post1707384

It's a bit different though, as it sends the thread title and URL. For posts this could be easily changed to a template edit.

it's weird, when I would check a post, it would grey out and that was it.

For me, i couldnt see twitter options. Either on the forum or in Admin CP.

[ragtek]

There are no options in the acp settings

[tpearl5]

Is there an easy way to put the link wherever you want?

[King Kovifor]

The template edits listed in the first post can be placed anywhere in their respective templates. Then you'll just have to turn off the automatic ones... Or did you mean something else?

I caught the comments earlier in the thread re it working on 3.7 .... BUT, will it work on 3.6.11 (don't ask about why not upgrading!)

[mykkal]

Hey King, how are you?

Please, if you know...I'm just wondering if you know what code I need to change so that the "tweet" title reflects the title of the post "tweeted".

[redlabour]

Are the .svn and .DS_Store Folders needed on a Linux/Windows Server or are they only for Mac?

And can you integrate a more modern and Twitter-Like Icon to send the Tweets?

This blue old Style Button in the Package looks terrible. :(

Waiting for 1.1. :)

[King Kovifor]

Thanks. :( I am not a good graphic artist. But, I have attached the new one we are using (thanks @fattony69!).

And .svn and .DS_Store can be removed. They are hidden on mac and I totally missed them. .DS_Store is a Mac thing... So yeah, delete. :)

[King Kovifor]

ATTN: I need opinions. Twitter opened their OAuth integration beta to the public and I really want to use it, as it will remove the need for me to actually store and secure a users password, thus removing the mcrypt requirement.

But, the requirement for using OAuth would be for you to individually register an OAuth application specific for your site. I would provide you with all necessary details, but it won't be as simple as upload and install. Would you rather keep it as this, and not use OAuth (which I will learn as it provides a secure method of not sharing a users Password!) for vBTwitter? Please, I need opinions. You may also @vBTwit me on Twitter and I'll get the replies!

[redlabour]

What i still hardly miss is a Profil-Box for each User showing his last X Tweets and a short Twitter-Statistic for every User.

I understand. Just noticed that its been done in your test forums for a long time now. How long off is the release? If its a more then a month can you just PM those few lines of code? If you can't I'm totaly fine with it.

Traffic on my site would jump 35%. Its needed.

[redlabour]

Also included in 1.1

s. Screenshot ;)

But it should be completely phrased.

[ragtek]

In my opinion i'd like to stop including new functions until we release 1.1 and then we can discuss the new features.

If we now include all wishes, 1.1 wouldn't be released until december 2011;).
Don't know how king kovifor is thinking about it, i'm just the co-author^^

[redlabour]

Just a Hint - if you make a Profilebox in 1.1 - it just seems to be one or two Lines of Code to integrate the Statistic to the Head of it. ;) There was another Mod here on vb.org that does this. Maybe you can get some ideas from it who to use the Twitter-API for this.

[TandyServices]

For those of you with live topic: What problems are you having? Showing up at all, or with the new posts?

I installed the live topic mod after this one. This mod works fine, even with Live Topic. However, the Live Topic gives a browser error whenever someone posts a reply and the reply is not showing up. I disabled Live Topic for now 'till there is a fix. I have posted a ticket on the board of the Live Topic coder too. Just thought you might wanna know what I came across :)
Love this mod, can't wait for the next version.

I keep getting this when I try to tweet a thread/post

"We're sorry, but the Username and Password provided within your User CP could not be authenticated. Please modify either your Username or Password to match your current Twitter Username / Password and try again."

I know the acct is good cause I can log in through twitter Any help is great.

[King Kovifor]

What version? And some passwords do not work through the API, so that may also be your provlemo.

[taytaysdad]

Im running version 3.8 vbulletin

What type of passwords wouldnt work?

[FireFish]

I usually don't do this, but after spending 2 hours on this, I can safely say that it does not work as described. I do see the settings options show up with username & password fields, but it does nothing when saved.

[ragtek]

What you mean exactly with "does nothing" ?
Could you look into the DB if the things are stored in the Usertable or not, pls?

thx

[King Kovifor]

I think if they have special non-ASCII characters, maybe with accents or something. I'm not entirely sure.

I notice when you "Tweet this post", on twitter is says "Check this out!" (which I modified) and a tinyurl.com (http://tinyurl.com) link to the post.

Is there a way to make it work with this linkbee mod:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=192044

So instead of converting to tinyurl.com (http://tinyurl.com) links, they become your Linkbee.com (http://linkbee.com/20256) links?

[plumbingskool]

Hi ,

Can I just make a simple suggestion?

Hope about just doing something like this:

<a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Currently reading <?php the_VB THREAD FUNCTION(); ?>" title="Click
to send this page to Twitter!" target="_blank">Share on This On Twitter!</a>

AND THEN

that will bring them to twitter and they can login or it will post the message if they are already logged in as most people are all day long anyhow.

I think trying to bridge the log in is just way over board for a simple "twitter"

I love the module though, and I would just just the above to keep it simple :)

[Brandon Sheley]

oh I missed the update on this, I'll see if it works on our dev forum.
Thanks! :)

[member007]

I installed this and test it out on twitter and it posts a link to Check this out! http://tinyurl.com/dxk7kq . When I click on this link my spyware blocks it said this site is a spy site. Beware.

That's the fault of either (a) your site being considered spam or (b) tinyurl is considered SPAM. It's not my modification.

[jdougher]

With all due respect to the coder, please take my comments as intended and not as a personal attack against you or the vbTwitter mod - but really, what's the point?

I can see no point in a forum's users littering their twitter pages with a stream of Check This Out text with no description in the links of what the potential visitor might be looking at? I can't speak for other web users out there, but I don't have a tendancy to click on links just because they tell me to click here or to check this out. If you could find a way to form a better link, perhaps by pulling in the post/thread title, then this mod could be mildly useful.

Until then, I am uninstalling this mod. I wish you success as you try to get this worked out, and I would revisit this mod if you can communicate better to users what exactly the link is going to be about.

Regards,
Lima Bean


Good points.

[King Kovifor]

Hey King, how are you?

Please, if you know...I'm just wondering if you know what code I need to change so that the "tweet" title reflects the title of the post "tweeted".

For the record, this took 69 lines of code in a preliminary testing stage. With error checking it does error checking in several steps:
Format Tweet with post title.
Find length of tweet + link, if under 140, skip to the last number.
If above 140, it uses the TinyURL API to create a shortened link and recreates the Tweet.
Rechecks length, if under 140 skip to the last step.
If above 140, it takes the post title and shrinks it so that the tweet is exactly 140 characters and adds a '...' to the end of the chopped off title.
Send Tweet
This needs to be coded for thread titles, so it'll be at least another 69 lines of code, compared to the 10 it was before this detailed tweet functionality.

[mykkal]

oh i see. is it possible to release a patch for this version with this functionality?
i know the members are burning for it. It's just that 1.1 is feature packed. I wonder if it will take a good deal of time to code and debug. I realize you do this for free so your time and availability has to be considered to.

That's a major feature :) I'm quickly depending on your mod.

You can change "Check this out!" to what ever you want... Modify the phrase "twitter_checkout". And yes, it will say from vBTwitter. That won't change. Look at any Twitter account that doesn't strictly use the website and you will see something different. It's my source parameter just like Tweetie and TweetDeck.

[vidan]

no i know we can change the check this out, i mean why it posted with a link, but not the thread titles?
in mine check this out! myurl.com/tt.php?i=id ->i mean like this check this out! its april fools! ->
can i change to title?

I think because of the short url's?

We have some private forums for admins and mods and if they tweek a post in the private section will anyone else see the post on the members twitter home page.

@King Kovifor: I have not tried this mod yet, but wouldn't it be more prudent to use the full showthread link to keep links consistent? I know that twitter uses a nofollow on all of its links, but is there a point behind the tp and tt files?

[Fronty]

New install on 3.8.0 (about to upgrade to 3.8.2) with vbulletin blog, vbseo 3.3 and facebook connection plugin. Runs smooth.

Just a small question, which is probably only a template moderation. But how do I get this mod working on the blog pages on my website?

The tp.php and tt.php files are URL shorting files as it does allow only 140 characters. It will come in handy more in the next version.

Yeah but will it function the same way as ReTweet does? For example, you click on the ReTweet button and then you get taken to your Twitter page. A message will be already written in the "What are you doing?" text box like this for example:

RT @tweetmeme Get a ReTweet Button for Your Blog http://bit.ly/aiQx

But if your plugin doesn't do that then I reckon I can just insert the Javascript for this somewhere. Can't be that difficult.

[King Kovifor]

I'm getting this when I try to tweet a thread/post:

We're sorry, but the Username and Password provided within your User CP could not be authenticated. Please modify either your Username or Password to match your current Twitter Username / Password and try again.

I have looked in vb-user table, but there is no columns "twitter_password", "twitter_username"...

If there are none, please uninstall and reinstall.

Currently it doesn't. It may be possible in v1.1.

Can you change the twitter_checkout phrase to be the subject line of the topic instead of "check this out" (or whatever custom entry you make it)? I'm not sure what the variable would be called.

[Excalibur!]

Uinstalled, reinstalled still the same... Now I have all tables, but can't save the password... when I look into the twitter_password table there is only one letter (ũ). I tried to make MD5 encrypted password with Password Generator (http://www.zappersoftware.com/Help/md5.php), but with no succes...
Any idea?

I just got this dreaded message again. Things were going great for the last 160 Tweets or so until just today. I haven't installed any other mods, so I'm wondering if Twitter has changed something. I'll kick the tires on my site a little but it's strange how it just suddenly stopped working. I'll update this post if I find a reason for the problem.

Anyone else get a sudden stop today?

Thanks.

[Excalibur!]

Which is NOT right... Hm... Reupload files and try again?

I have reuploaded files, but it's still the same, can't save the password...
Again, a few more tries, reinstall product, uninstall, install, reupload... still the same... can't save the password...

I usually don't do this, but after spending 2 hours on this, I can safely say that it does not work as described. I do see the settings options show up with username & password fields, but it does nothing when saved.

FireFish means password field remains empty...

If you read the main post...So I would assume yes, give it a try ;)

This modification should work on vBulletin v3.5+, but was only tested on a vB 3.8 install.

You may have hit the rate limit (100/hr) and vBTwitter does not handle this as well as it could. You just get THAT generic message. I will see about managing that message better in the future (doing a check only when needed).

In the description it has
This modification adds basic Twitter integration to vBulletin. Once a user defines their Twitter username & password within their vB Options (User CP -> Edit Options), the Tweet This X links will appear.


where is this "tweet this" suppose to appear so I can click on it?


Also when I typed in my username and password in my usercp and clicked saved, nothing happen except username and password are save there. Was anything else suppose to happen?

Does your website have Mcrypt installed?

[djbaxter]

PHP'S MCRYPT EXTENSION IS USED, BE SURE YOU HAVE THIS INSTALLED (MCRYPT IS USED TO ENCRYPT PASSWORDS).

PHP'S CURL EXTENSION IS ALSO USED! THE API CALLS ARE COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON THEM!

How can I determine if the Curl and Mcrypt extensions are installed on my server?

[bryanb]

...Does your website have Mcrypt installed?

Yep, version 2.5.7 is enabled.

[cmeinck]

First off, thanks to the developer. This is a great mod and looking forward to future updates.

During my testing during install, I posted a quick "Check this out... [URL]" tweet. Within a few minutes, I garnered a complaint about how it looked like a non-descript marketing message (which I agree). I customized the message a bit, but it will certainly show up in related searches for my field. I'm concerned that if it catches on, it might alienate some Twitterers. As the site owner, I'm not going to tweet my own horn, but what if others do and do it often. Sure it'll garner some traffic, but might cause some brushback.

The inclusion of titles will resolve this, but how are people making out with the current version. Any negative feedback from your audience or the greater Twitter community?

[jaredwilli]

Is it possible to make it so the title of the thread is posted instead of "check this out"?

[cmeinck]

Is it possible to make it so the title of the thread is posted instead of "check this out"?

Yes, just go to "Phrases" and search for twitter_checkout. Edit the phrase to your liking.

The issue is whether "generic" tweets could adversely affect you? The developer mentioned a future version that will use thread titles. This mod will officially become a killer mod once that's available.:D

No, atm it's not possible!

[cmeinck]

Something more specific to your site. "Check this out" is too generic. I've gone with Informative [myForumTopic] @[mytwitter account] URL.

For example, let's say your site was regarding Baseball.

Informative Baseball forum post @baseballforums http://www.mlb.com

yea... we've been saying that for ages. .like 4 months now I think.

But i'm not sure how close they are to a new mod. I'm kinda thinking about developing this myself. I think King is too busy and well...Nobody on my site wants to use the twitter plugin in its current form. They are excited about it but its not practical and they quickly stop using it.

*shrug* I know King knows this... So if he doesn't have the time or thinks it will take more then 1 more month I really wish he would let us know.

A lot of Mod devs have a schedule so people know when beta, alphas, and stable releases will be available.

I just installed the plugin and it is showing active in the plugin manager but there are no signs of Twiiter in the VB options nor are there any in the threads or thread tools.

I uploaded everything and I imported the XML correctly I blieve and I even un-installed and then installed again and nothing...

I am using 3.8.2 with the default VB template.

Help???

I checked everything and all of the files are in place and the plugin is showing active in the plugin manager and I even put in the manual template edits but still nothing.

I still have no VBtwitter in the adminCP except in the plugin manager, and yes it shows active and I still have nothing in any of the threads or thread tools.

This is a rare occurrence that I have no idea how to fix, for the fact that I have taken a file sent to me from someone receiving this, and it worked perfectly. I also cleaned the file up and verified the checking.

You need to add your details in the User CP.

Yes, a lot of mod developers do have schedules, when that is their only problem. With me paying for a car; school; and a job, my life hasn't had time to focus on anything. I am not sure what ragtek has done, but several facets that many have asked for are already implemented, just not for anyone to use yet. What I don't get is the fact that everyone believes that I should dedicate all my free time to developing this and my other modifications, when I do this for free, as a hobby. That alone should mean that I shouldn't be placed into a schedule that you all expect. My schedule will and always will be "when it is done" as that gives you the best possible product -- with minimal bugs. Now if I sounded harsh, I just spent this entire day working and doing homework, and in my ten minutes of spare time, I come on here to support this.

[GotWalked]

I had that same problem:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' ect ect
I found my server was running php 4, so i installed php 5+ on my server, now the app works fine, so anyone further with this problem, log into your admin CP, check your php version, as OP said, must be 5+. Hope this helps to any noobs so you don't have to go searching 27 pages worth of stuff.

I just want to say thanks for the great mod. This mod can certainly be improved as I am sure you are more aware of than any of the users of it, but this is a great tool and the vborg community is lucky to have developers willing to take a look at the newer trends of social networking to let their forums integrate popular services like this that their users use massively.

Once again, thanks.

Not the password at all. I've changed it probably 4, 5 times, still no luck, so it's not the password at all.

This mod is great, but just like everyone else says, it's very limited on what you can do with it. It would be something if it would make like a little pop up window and you can add your own words to the link instead of just "Check This Out" and also it could give you the ability to add hashes like #vBulletinMods or whatever your site is about.

[mykkal]

^^^ that's been said over and over. Kind knows about it. I'm just not sure what his time is like to work on the project. Hopefully he'll answer my question so I can make an inteligent choice.

I'm out of school in two weeks from yesterday. So I will have a very large amount of time free up. A major hurdle I am working on with Ragtek is OAuth, which will remove many of the major problems surrounding this product...

thanks a bunch. really.

[Ohiosweetheart]

I can't get this to work for me. When I click on either the Tweet this thread link or the tweet this post link, I'm redirected to the bottom of the thread.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

This seems to be the most promising "Tweet This" plugin yet. Can it not be somewhat similar to the "Tweet This" wordPress plugin, that essentially doesn't require anyone to store their userID/password - rather, it simply pulls a link.

Not sure how the variables would play out - but I'd think you could smack the code down in the SHOWTHREAD template.

An example (from how to make a easy "Tweet This" link in WordPress) is simply adding this:
<a href=?http://twitter.com/home?status=I just read <?php the_permalink(); ?> on your site name here!? title=?Send this Post to Twitter!? target=?_blank?>Tweet This Post on Twitter!!!</a>

Of course, the <?php the_permalink(); ?> is pulling the WordPress's blog URL ... but would there be a way to simply add this type of line in the template, and pull the correct code that vbulletin uses (ie. threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]&amp;p=$postid) type info???

Just curious. If you knew PHP and could understand this hack to easily use "TweetThis" in WordPress, looks like it could port over to VBulletin easily?

[Blade-uk]

Thanks, will give this a try.

[fmckinnon]

Thanks - if you nail it, let us know. I'm not excited about the users having to add the info to their UserCP - for all the existing users, they'd have to go back and add it after-the-fact, and it seems kinda out of the way. Would be better if anyone (even if not a registered member) could tweet a thread ... and I'd think you could just manually throw some of that code in there (assumingly, on the SHOWTHREAD template)?

[Ohiosweetheart]

It is working fine on my site.

However, I do wish that there was some kind of confirmation that it went through, rather than just jumping to another area of the same page. :)

Yeah, He said he is working on that for the next update. When I first used it I sent like 20 updates to my twitter account! lol

[Ohiosweetheart]

I did the same thing! When I finally saw them I figured it must be working, lol.

[scottjonesqpr]

Hi, apologies I'm learning vbulletin as i go

I get this http://wearetherangersboys.com/forum/tweet.php?do=post&id=50225&c=50225

everything else seems ok, ive put it my twitter details and get a "tweet this" link but it doesnt seem to be working

[scottjonesqpr]

Scrap that! sorted it!

where do i change "check this out!" though?

[scottjonesqpr]

ok sorted that too.

thanks very much this is a fantastic mod.

[Ohiosweetheart]

Scrap that! sorted it!

where do i change "check this out!" though?How'd you change it?

[gabrielbulletin]

"1. Upload files in the /upload/ folder of the .zip into the directories as is."
Which directory?

[Ohiosweetheart]

"1. Upload files in the /upload/ folder of the .zip into the directories as is."
Which directory?Whereever your admincp, images, includes, etc folders are, that is where you upload the contents of the upload folder.

[KevinL]

How'd you change it?

Here you go ;)

Yes, just go to "Phrases" and search for twitter_checkout. Edit the phrase to your liking.

[Ohiosweetheart]

Thanks sweetie.

No, I will always require some kind of user data, but we are working on an OAuth integration where each site will become an "application" and users authorize sites to read and write to their account, so they will not need to add their password, the plugin will store a key supplied by Twitter.

Reference the above answer.

"1. Upload files in the /upload/ folder of the .zip into the directories as is."
Which directory?

As Peggy has said, the upload folder is the forum root and the directory structure matches the structure of a non-modified vBulletin set up, so the sub directories represent where files go.

[accludetuner]

Searched and didn't see anyone with the same issue. I'm getting the following error once you click the "Tweet This Thread' link:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Twitter in /path/to/my/forum/includes/twitter.php on line 27

Starting at line 27 of twitter.php:
class Twitter {
/* Username:password format string */
private $credentials;

/* Contains the last HTTP status code returned */
private $http_status;

/* Contains the last API call */
private $last_api_call;

/* Contains the application calling the API */
private $application_source;

/* Include Source */
private $include_source;

Re-uploaded files and reinstalled allowing overwrite and still same issue. PHP5.2 installed.

[King Kovifor]

Do you have any other twitter modifications installed.

[mykkal]

No, I will always require some kind of user data, but we are working on an OAuth integration where each site will become an "application" and users authorize sites to read and write to their account, so they will not need to add their password, the plugin will store a key supplied by Twitter.

So there has been real progress for this? The new version?

[accludetuner]

Do you have any other twitter modifications installed.

I do have one mod that sorta touches on twitter - OpenInviter: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=211677&highlight=twitter

So after changing the class "Twitter" to "TweetThis" in twitter.php and tweet.php it is attempting to send the tweet which is definitely one step up. Now I'm getting the "We're sorry, but the Username and Password provided within your User CP could not be authenticated. Please modify either your Username or Password to match your current Twitter Username / Password and try again." error with mcrypt. I have 2.5.8 installed and enabled so I'll try messing with some things to see if I can get it worked out.

Would you mind emailing me, as your problem seems unique enough that it isn't necessarily a problem on my end, but a conflict.

[accludetuner]

Email sent :)

[swiftor]

So the Tweet this Post option will only appear on posts made by people who have populated their twitter credentials? Anyway so that it appears next to every post? or at least every first post?

[mykkal]

has anyone looked at this mod? Does it do the same as this one? I want to use vb_twitter but there seems to be no progress so far on the release which is promised to remove the "check this out" option. But I don't know really.

has anyone used this new one? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=216346

It is not the same thing. That mod is a feed for your new posts, like twitterfeed.

[SBlueman]

Can this modification do something like this now-unsupported modification?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=208488&highlight=twitter

I am looking for something that is like twitterfeed where it takes my site's rss feed and posts new threads from my news forum to my twitter account.

[King Kovifor]

Not yet, and that other modification uses OAuth.

[SBlueman]

OAuth?

[King Kovifor]

It's an authentication method that will be implemented in v1.1 or v2.0.

[SBlueman]

So this will be a function that we will see in v1.1 or v2.0?

[King Kovifor]

v1.1 and v2.0 are basically the same thing, it just depends on what I call it.

[mykkal]

Man that really sucks...
King! hurry up dude! It's almost July!

[fmckinnon]

I would def. install this once it's 1.1 or 2.0 and has oauth ... will you post a reply here in the forums, King, when that happens?

[King Kovifor]

An update will be sent. I spent money today to update the SVN to fix all the issues I've had, so I can get back to building it. I got the OAuth class built, and I need to rewrite a good bit of parts for this modification so it will use a new OAuth methodology. That is my project for the next week or two.

*hint* suspend all support while doing it :)

Ok, whatever you call it....will it have rss-to-twitter funcionality? The other modification would take the last post from your RSS feed and post it on to your twitter account. The cron job ran once a minute and a member posted a edited file that allowed the feature to skip over stories it already posted. The only feature it seemed to be missing was allowing it to post multiple "tweets" during that one minute job or going back and tweeting missing stories.

It will have a couple of different options, those of which will be a surprise. And it'll be more complete and thorough than using an RSS feed. :)

[King Kovifor]

If you follow me on Twitter (vBTwit) you got several updates on the next release. ;) I give near up to the completion info there. Talked about my woes today.

[DNG]

nice, thanks 4 this ;)

[jkeasy]

This is awesome, thank you so much!

[fmckinnon]

awesome, King - just followed your twitter as well @fmckinnon ... looking forward to seeing this happen! We're using RSS to send our feeds to twitter, but I'm still looking forward to individual users being able to simply choose to "tweet" a particular thread at their own initiative.

[King Kovifor]

I will post this hear, I have now set up OAuth with my development site, and it is working for the test tweet. :) Now, I'm going to set up and rewrite most of the application, to comply with the new class.

[deadlySniper]

Awesome!! Thanks!

any progress?

[tenjinzan]

I just installed this today, and I'm having a bit of trouble with it. It seems that it installs fine, no errors, and I see the twitter credentials in User CP > Edit Options, but when I enter my credentials in there, and hit save, it goes to a blank screen and does nothing. I go back, reload my CP, and the credentials are not there. because they're not there, I don't have the option to submit to twitter.

I followed your instructions (well, except for hitting that I have it installed yet <Laugh>), but It just doesn't seem to work. Any ideas where I could be going wrong? (Cause I know it's gotta be something on my end.)

[King Kovifor]

Do you have Mcrypt installed. A blank save page is usually an indicator of that.

Mykkal, I will post more when I have more.

[tenjinzan]

I do not have Mcrypt installed. I'm fairly new to actually working with vBulletin. I've had it for a while, but never really got a chance to sit down and muck about with it. Everything else seems to be fine, I see everything correctly elsewhere, and even changed my twitter password to see if that was messing things up. I see nothing in standard log locations to show me anything is wrong, but perhaps I'm not sure where to look?

The only things I DO have installed are:

gWoWChar
IMSteam
Mobile Device Detection
Advanced CMPS
vBTwitter
vBulletin Blog

And that's it.

[wolfstream]

I do not have Mcrypt installed. I'm fairly new to actually working with vBulletin..
Mcrypt isn't related to vBulletin @ all. It is somethin that needs to be installed on the server itself. Ask your host if they have it installed.

[tenjinzan]

Thank you very much for the insight! I will check with them post haste.

edit: They are saying it's installed. Also said libmcrypt and libmhash (dependencies) are as well.

[puertoblack2003]

i get this error message when i had saved user and password info in option for twitter

Warning: mcrypt_decrypt() [function.mcrypt-decrypt]: The IV parameter must be as long as the blocksize in [path]\profile.php(1873) : eval()'d code on line 4

and it'll do that also when submitting it..And yes i have all php functions as described here.

[gnrmarcel]

can i use a twitter icon instead of the link?

Yes, just modify the link.

Hey, just curious on an update for the oauth version?

[tr03bor]

If you done oAuth, I would install.
