vBTwitter

[King Kovifor]

Description

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.

It automatically adds a tweet to their account with the default text of "Check this out! " (which can be edited editing the "twitter_checkout" phrase) and uses your forum URL with either tp or tt.php as the link. These redirect to the thread / post that was tweeted.

</if>


Add After:
<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['twitter_username']"><a href="tweet.php?do=thread&amp;id=$threadinfo[threadid]">Tweet This Thread!</a></if>

Requirements

THIS MODIFICATION REQUIRES PHP 5 DUE TO THE CLASS THAT IS USED!

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

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

Using the "tp.php" switch added in v1.0.2

With the release of v1.0.2, a switch between showpost.php?p=ID&postcount=COUNT and showthread.php?p=ID#postID has been added. Using it is simple, but requires a code edit (Note: This is a SUPPORTED code edit!). Open up tp.php and find this line:

define('SHOWPOST', true);

Change that line to this:

define('SHOWPOST', false);


This will automatically trigger the change any time it is loaded. This works retroactively and any links will automatically use the new settings once changed!

Thanks @KingKovifor (http://twitter.com/KingKovifor), via @Floris (http://twitter.com/Floris)

Nice, just worried about storing twitter passwords... I take it they are not md5ed so to use them on twitter.

I think I'd rather use a popup asking username and password.

I was worried about that too but I need to authenticate and don't know where or how to authenticate without storing it. Pop up would work, but I am thinking of ease of use. Any suggestions?

[Dream]

I'd guess another version of this mod could be made, where anyone can twit anything clicking on "Twit This" that opens a popup window that asks username, password and text to append before URL. I could do it but *yawn* not sure how integration with twitter works. It would be just one php file and one template edit. Also not sure if you can twit posts, or just threads would make more sense. But your idea of twitting not the post text, but a link to the forum is nice.

[dirtycrow]

I can add that as a product tomorrow. Admin set option for on / off?

This allows you to tweet posts and threads. My next major feature release plans on adding things that would require edits like it.

The twitter thread...

[ArnyVee]

Okay....so, will this allow us to send a Twitter (or a Tweet or whatever it's called! :) ) message to our vB profile? I'm a little confused (although that's not a big surprise ;) ) about what the dilly yo'. :D

[King Kovifor]

It creates a tweet that includes a URL to the specified Post / thread with the default words "check this out" to your Twitted profile. Each user sets up their own profile for this to work.

[Wayne Luke]

Use mcrypt and have the site owner enter a secret phrase in the config.php file (best place for it)... You can then take the secret phrase and generate a seed value that encrypts the login information. Not foolproof since it will be necessary to decrypt the information but should provide enough basic protection.

Thanks! I'll look into that! And i'm looking at HTTP Basic Auth as the example show it encrypted so if I can figure that out I'll store that.

[King Kovifor]

I'm guessing your forum is non-English?

Upon uninstalling errors:

Invalid SQL:

No, I was making sure it would uninstall, and it won't.. I was trying to remove it..

Quick fix. Split it up into 2 queries: both same front with a single table name at the end. I'll see about getting a fix out tomorrow.

This is cool, I can't wait to try it out cause I have a Twitter vB community (http://TweetSocial.com)

I would love to see an additional feature where users can Tweet *anything* at all directly from the forum. Also Twitter API allows you to define where the tweet is coming from and would give a backlink to the forum for each tweet a user sends out.

Like instead of "from web" or "from twitterific" it would be "from TweetSocial" or "from YourForum"

Thanks for this!

i thought this is not possible for communities, because i also wanted that my add-on have it's own name!

thats from the faq:

How do I get ?from [MyApp]? appended to updates sent from my API application?

Great MOD,, splitting into two MySQL queries to DROP did work to uninstall BTW..

Are you going to be making an option to tweet not just what is in the thread, but just a personal tweet we may want to add, or a standalone tweet all together???

Keep up the great work,,

Joe

Yeah. Most likely in v1.1 which is the next feature update. And I've placed the uninstall error into my log and will get it fixed for v1.0.1 which I'm working on finishing up.

OK. After spending the last hour trying to figure out Mcrypt (which I did get to work, rather fast too) it's still not decrypting and encrypting values as expected... So it most likely won't be done tonight.

That's cause your trying to install v1.0.0 again. I haven't updated the product yet. I just said it was nearing completion. Installing now, you'll get no added features. ;) And that's where your problem is coming from -- you already have it installed (or uninstalled and the tables weren't dropped, if that's the case tell me), so the tables it's trying to add in 1.0.0 are already in the database.

[King Kovifor]

It is now also gonna have an image beside "Tweet this Thread!" It's not the best, but I think it looks rather good!

It was actually uninstalled when I tried to reinstall it when I received that error, but I will wait for the next release.. :)

[DebtFree]

Great looking idea and I will keep following this hack.

One suggestion I have though is to use Custom Profile Fields for the twitter details and enter the field ID in an ACP option. The reason for this is that I already have a hack which places the users latest tweets in their profile. To do this they need to enter their twitter id in a custom profile fileds ... so it seems silly to ask them for the same thing again.

Where can I change the default that it leaves on Twitter: "Check this out!" - to something else? Something like, "Read this topic in our forums!"

[King Kovifor]

hmccaig, search for the phrase twitter_check I believe. If that isn't it, search for twitter_ in car names and one will say "Check this out!".

[hmccaig]

In which file do I do this? Thanks!

[ragtek]

You don't need to edit a file;) You can manage the phrases in your acp
http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/languages_and_phrases

You sir, have found a major bug in v1.0.0! I to discovered that yesterday as I was writing a new feature. I was using the wrong set of data. Changing $post to $vbulletin->userinfo within the template edits (postbit & postbit_legacy) will fix it.

One more question...

<if condition="$post to $vbulletin->userinfo['twitter_username']"><a href="tweet.php?do=post&amp;id=$post[postid]&amp;c=$post[postid]">Tweet this post!</a></if>

Are you saying it should look like that? Or should it look like this...


<if condition="$post to $vbulletin->userinfo['twitter_username']"><a href="tweet.php?do=post&amp;id=$vbulletin->userinfo[postid]&amp;c=$vbulletin->userinfo[postid]">Tweet this post!</a></if>

In your first one, you have $post to $vbulletin. Remove "$post to" and it should work.

[itsbobtista]

In your first one, you have $post to $vbulletin. Remove "$post to" and it should work.

D'oh. That was a typo on my part. I copied+pasted what you told us to add and I accidentally copied the "to" :-P Let me try that...

So, now it's set as:
<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['twitter_username']"><a href="tweet.php?do=post&amp;id=$post[postid]&amp;c=$post[postid]">Tweet this post!</a></if>

But when I check my Twitter, the URL it goes to is:
http://www.atxscene.com/forums/showpost.php?p=414&postcount=414

Which looks funky. Shouldn't it go to forums/showthread.php?p=414&postcount=414 so that it shows the thread and just automatically scrolls to that post? It just makes my style look funky lol you can check it out.

[itsbobtista]

It would look fine if the link I clicked from Twitter opened in a new window that sized itself, but it opens as a new tab and it kind of messes up the width on the tables cause it's not meant to be that wide. See what I mean?

[King Kovifor]

Yes, that code is correct. Also, it was designed to use the single post view. Since (1) it gives you the content you wanted and (2) it includes a link to the original thread. Of course, you could set it up to redirect to the thread view instead.

Hi,

There's a bug in which I forgot to add the ";" in the template. This is fixed in v1.0.1.

Okay, one more quick question on this. I changed it so now it says: This is a great read in our forums!http://www.pinkinkstudios.net/discussion/tp.php?i=369&c=369

You should place a space after the "!" in the phrase so it reads: "This is a great read in our forums! ". I purposely didn't place a space in the code, that's located inside of the phrase.

Could you add support for a hashtag that the admin can define so we can find the tweets in the twitterverse ?

I will see about that. ;) Added to the feature tracker.

EDIT: After second thought, though I don't have this as a specific feature, you can do this by adding a hash tag into the phrase.

Hope to use this soon, but I need to wait on general tweets and twitter username defined by custom field cause I already have a Twitter field that is required on registration.

I doubt I will ever truly release a version that supports custom profile fields, mostly because it would require 2 differing code bases. Check your DMs.

[dvsDave]

Hm. Can you see if your PHP has the mcrypt extension? Did you have an error when installing this product?

I checked my phpinfo file, no I don't have the mcrypt extension, (fixing that now). I did not get an error on install.

Hm. I guess nobody was using Twitter integration as mcrypt is run while upgrading. :)

Good to see the template edits removed, and the option to add custom hash tags in the phrase!

[King Kovifor]

The option was there before. Just not realized. :)

Another problem.. in multi-post threads (like http://www.atxscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21&p=306#post306 ), the first post has one Twee This, second post has two Tweet This, third has three Tweet This, etc..

[King Kovifor]

Mone, I am guessing you don't have twitter set up for your account, meaning that it doesn't have an iv stored in the db. And I'll work on getting template errors worked out.

Yes just tested it on several account.
If I go to that page for the first time or every time without actually setting up the twitter account i will receive that error.

Setting twitter details will fix the issue, however most users will not have a twitter account.

Thank you.

[King Kovifor]

The reason behind this is that saving a password does the required updates. I'll have an updated plugin for you later. I'll probably add the check in several places.

p.s. would it be possible to have the tweeter update with "check this out > title of the post" other than just check this out?

Can you add this to the registration page to? So new members can fill it in?

[dvsDave]

Also having this issue!

Go down to the Maintenance menu in the AdminCP and select View PHP Info

Then look to see if the mcrypt php module is loaded. If you don't see it (hit CTRL + f to run a quick search) then contact your hosting company and ask if they will add that PHP module.

http://us.php.net/mcrypt is a good resource if you have to do it yourself or provide a link to your hosting company to help clarify your request.

I've added a code switch in v1.0.2 that'll allow you to change this.

Joe, your welcome.

Afraid that I'm still getting that error in v1.0.2. Well, that is to say, it looks similar enough to the previous one, so I'm guessing the different line number is just due to whatever changes you've made to the code since 1.0.1.

Am on Ubuntu, there were deep issues with php5-mcrypt, managed to fix that too, but mod didn't work anyway, as curl wasn't installed either.

Which shouldn't be happening anyways. Since upon installation of v1.0.1 all passwords were encrypted and given an IV. The only thing I can do is force a reset of passwords as the install (or upgrade) should have fixed that.

There's really nothing to show. It just adds two links (one in the top of the thread tools and one next to the post counts) that say "Tweet this Thread!" and "Tweet this Post!" respectively. And it adds two options to the options profile...

Sorry, i was mistaken.

There are three tables:
twiiter_username
twitter_character (encrypted)
twitter_size (encrypted)

Any ideas?

[King Kovifor]

You have a twitter_character table?

[mykkal]

no there is no character table. Not even sure why I wrote that. Sorry. It's just the three I mentioned above. I was thinking... There are funny characters there in that table and actually typed it. lol.

I can give you access to admin panel and database if you need to see yourself.

There are three tables:
twiiter_username
twitter_password (encrypted)
twitter_size (encrypted)Somehow it seems that the vBulletin mod is either sending the wrong authentication information to twitter, is encoding that information wrong, or is not sending it at all.

Again, this is the error I get when I try to tweet the thread.

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.Another question...Do forum permissions matter?

Another FYI. I just upgraded to php 5.2.8 a few days ago. Does it work on this version? All of my web applications are functioning fine.

[King Kovifor]

mykkal, vBTwitter is working fine. I believe I have narrowed this down to a show stopping bug in the twitter API that has stopped working. I will try to find a fix today or tomorrow, and either rewrite the authentication methods of the twitter class, my authentication verification, or work with Twitter to fix this problem. I've already @twitterapi'd the account to see if it's a bug. This now makes sense in my mind as it stopped working on my dev site, and several other sites have reported it since then. If you are having trouble, I hate to say it, but please be patient as I attempt to work with Twitter and myself and ragtek to solve this!

You and me both. I was getting tired of trying to figure out why multiple people were having this exact same problem, at the exact same time after it had worked fine! Disabling the product will prevent any users from utilizing this.

Days. I think I'll be rewriting this to use XML... So, that'll be my top development priority. I'll leave 1.1 to ragtek for now.

The template edits are a major problem. If you disable the facebook mod it will break your forum. I have tried asking questions to the mod designer but he doesn't answer questions.

Honestly I think this mod isn't really supported and ought to be removed until the designer comes back.

Also I have the facebook mod installed. Facebook works but twitter does not.

I have the new verification written in a test script. I need to port that script into our version, which will then be quickly tested by two people (other than me) and released.

[King Kovifor]

I've sent it to two people to test it out. :)

For some reason, I keep getting an error when trying to "Tweet This" that says my user name and password can't be authenticated. The credentials ARE correct. I reinstalled the add-in. Same issue. Please help :)

[itsbobtista]

nevermind, i see it's being worked on. Woot

[KevinL]

Is there a way to give folks an option to tweet all their posts automatically? Or is it possible to make a social bookmark like icon that people can click on?

Like these:https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/03/48.gifhttps://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/03/49.gifhttps://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/03/50.gifhttps://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/03/51.gif

There will be an option in 1.1 for this.



That right there is great to hear!! That was actually what I was searching for :)

[RedeemedWarrior]

same issue with not authorized etc

[ragtek]

People pls stop posting that, we know that each Version < 1.0.3 is not working atm.
King Kovifor fixed that and sent it to 2 people to test it. I'll also try to test it, so if everything is ok 1.0.3 will be released today;)

[smnet]

I would like to see this be able to make a post to twitter with the text as defined by the user when they use it.

This would be in addition to a tweet this.

Effectively, allowing people to use the forum as a twitter proxy. Hundreds of our members use twitter and allowing them to update twitter though the site would stop them having to go off to twitter and then back, etc.... I'm sure the API will allow this, but I guess it depends on whether you want to code this in, or not.

Is already included in 1.1 but pls don't start now with posts ala "when will it be released;)")

Don't know if i'm allowed to post the screenshots because i'm just a co-author^^

And what exactly do you mean with:
I would like to see this be able to make a post to twitter with the text as defined by the user when they use it.

All the users can put a text in the usercp and instead of "check this out" it would be the usertext?

[King Kovifor]

Ragtek, you can post screen shots. Just not in the first post. :)

[ragtek]

Allright:)

In version 1.1 we added a tweetpopup menu to the navbar
95799
For all users without js there will be a own page.

The second new thing(all followers of our tweet profil (http://twitter.com/vBTwit) will know*g*) is, that now "everything" will work with ajax.

[King Kovifor]

v1.0.3 will be released at some point tomorrow! Beta was very successful!

is there a way to tweet ALL forum Posts??

Or all posts from a certain fourm ID?

I'd like or not like this depending on the application. If you want to tweet new stuff coming in that's cool (done as a thread is posted) but to tweet an entire forum would be madness. And spam. Who would sift through that?

[keith455]

anyway to have a "forum" twitter ID and have a page set up to show it's twitter stream. Kind of like on twitter.com. Then the "forum" id would follow all the forum members and display them. So the members could see the stream of the forum twitter ID.

[King Kovifor]

Not coded, but not a bad idea. I'll think about it!

[Teresa]

Hey King,

Could you update the main mod description with a summary of the changes in version 1.0.3? That would be great.

Thanks!

[mykkal]

How do I change the way that the post is made? Twitter says "check this out"! Also it is redirecting back to vbTwitter on vbulletin.org. why? how do I change that to point to the forum I posted from.

thanks for the fix! Works awesome!

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/03/43.gif

[King Kovifor]

Mykhall: Every tweet includes a source parameter, so it adds a link that says "vBTwitter" that links here. There should be another link...

Teresa, first post on the first page in the changelog.

I don't want it to redirect here. That's a problem actually. It will confuse my visitors. I want it to redirect to my site and I want to change the "Check this out" to the title of the actual post.My visitors are everyday users...not administrators.

I plan on tweeting a lot per day from my forum. I don't want people reading messages saying "Check this out". It won't interest them. But if it includes the forum title. that makes sense.

[King Kovifor]

The message is phrased, you could definitely work the title in there through custom code... The vBTwitter link won't disappear. My application appears just like any other twitter app's would. TweetDeck, Tweetie, you name it. Users of Twitter should be familiar with this.

[Infopro]

How many of the files are actually needed in this zip?

[King Kovifor]

All of them are needed and used.

[Infopro]

__MACOSX
.DS_Store
.svn

Are needed?

[Infopro]

Clicking Tweet This Post simply refreshes the page. and it's a slow refresh like something wants to work but doesn't. No error, no message. FireFox and IE7 act the same.

[King Kovifor]

No. Might I just say, I really hate invisible files. Don't show up on my computer (except under transmit) and I always forget they are there. Ignore them!

[King Kovifor]

Can you view source and tell me what the tweet this post links to? I have seen it done using 1.0.3...

[Infopro]

<td class="tcat" >
<div class="normal" style="float:right"><a href="tweet.php?do=post&amp;id=114146&amp;c=114146">Tweet this Post!</a>
&nbsp;
#<a href="showpost.php?p=114146&amp;postcount=1" target="new" rel="nofollow" id="postcount114146" name="1"><strong>1</strong></a> &nbsp;




Here you go. Left some extra in there so you know where it's at.

I try to keep custom development to a minimum. It makes upgrades a pain.
You don't see an advantage to making an option for the thread title to be put in the "tweet"?

[ragtek]

Changing Phrases is not realy custom development and will not make problems with updating;)

[King Kovifor]

Infopro, you have THAT and it is reloading? Mind sending me a PM so I can look into it?

Mykkal, v1.0.x is not feature updates. Who knows, maybe it'll show in v1.1.0.

[mykkal]

Changing Phrases is not realy custom development and will not make problems with updating;)

touche...I'm just making the case for a feature that most vBtwitter users would use.

The custom development is therein:

Making an option in the vBulletin control panel to change the "check this out" phrase into something custom will require updating the script to do so.

Of course I could just change it in the source code but that's dangerous and inefficient.

It's dangerous because why would any admin want to edit source code to customize a phrase regularly?

Plus...it's that kind of feature that makes something popular into something very phenomenal.

King... Thanks for everything so far. I understand if you're frustrated with me. Users are never satisfied and always want new features. heh :)

[King Kovifor]

Actually, the source code changes would add 4-5 lines, plus a single phrase, and a new link variable. I know the code in my mind. :) It's a relatively simple modification.

Hmm, "Tweet this post" doesn't show up at my forums. Any hints?

I have the same problem, how do I correct this please ?

[drsli]

The username-and-password-authentication-failure still happens with the new version. I severely checked my twitter-login-data, they are working within twitter itself.

[RedeemedWarrior]

can i delete .svn folders? or are they needed?

Mine now works but I get this error message across the top of the redirection screen right after it.

Warning: mcrypt_decrypt() [function.mcrypt-decrypt]: The IV parameter must be as long as the blocksize in [path]\tweet.php on line 9

Any idea why that might be?

I'm sorry but my forums are not open to the public at this point.

I read earlier in this thread that this was being tested so I waited for your release. Apparently the testers need some testing too.

King Kovifor, how about if you remove all the garbage from your zip file so people can get confused over this thing not working without the added confusion of garbage files no one needs?

I like trying stuff from vb.org but I'm not here to work on other coders bugs. Those should be worked on and hopefully solved before a new post is made offering it to the masses.

This clearly was not tested enough by those who have.

On the other hand, I have stolen some hilarious gif images posted to this thread for use in other threads. So I'm ahead at this point. ;)

[abroad]

get this error:

Call to undefined function mcrypt_get_iv_size() in /var/www/htm/profile.php(2155) : eval()'d code on line 16

[Lima Bean]

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

Hm. Are you sure you uploaded the new tweet.php?

Yes. They are invisible on my computer and snuck their way in.

Update your password, it should have an IV parameter stored with it.

I'm sorry but my forums are not open to the public at this point.

I read earlier in this thread that this was being tested so I waited for your release. Apparently the testers need some testing too.

Personally, I have it installed on 3 beta testing sites, and they all worked perfectly. With the code you gave me, it should not be doing what it is, hence the reason I asked to see the forum.

King Kovifor, how about if you remove all the garbage from your zip file so people can get confused over this thing not working without the added confusion of garbage files no one needs?

I haven't had the time to sit down and remove them. They slipped in as they are invisible on my computer.

Your problem is unique, and the only one I've seen like it. If your problem is the only one that happens, it is impossible for a coder to predict and fix it.

get this error:

Call to undefined function mcrypt_get_iv_size() in /var/www/htm/profile.php(2155) : eval()'d code on line 16

You don't have mcrypt installed.

Update your password, it should have an IV parameter stored with it.Can you be a bit clearer? Do you mean change it? Not sure what you mean by "update your password"

Cheers.

[drsli]

Hm. Are you sure you uploaded the new tweet.php?
Yep, I?m sure. Here is the procedure I tried recently. I wiped out the username and password, saved the changes. I added the username and password, saved the changes to no success. I overwrote all files on the servers and re-imported the 1.03-version. To no success.

Then - I?m on the Mac-side - I tried out the program "Twitterific" and this prog gave me an alert about my password, warning me about an incompatibility with the twitter-api, cause my password contained non-alphanumeric characters. I changed the password to contain only alphanumeric characters and now all is working like a charm! :)

But I had to add a template-edit manually to get the "Tweet this post"-link working. I?m using the Template Modification System within the postbit too, maybe this prevented the link to show up.

Sorry for causing the confusion! But to my exoneration the twitter-browser-site accepts and works with non-alphanumeric-characters within the password, so I didn?t suspect any issues so far.

Thank you for this neat addon! :) Clicked Installed.

[King Kovifor]

All you need to do is edit your options, and just retype your password. If it was stored without an IV, it won't be able to decrypt. Upon changing your password, it'll update and store the required variables with your password. :)

Sorry, but the tweet pop up will not appear until v1.1 is released. It requires significant code changes and additions to what is in v1.0.x. For this reason, it will not be "pre-released" as an individual feature to v1.0.x. And here's an AJAX screencast:

Notice the time stamp doesn't change. ;) (Cause there is NO reload!)

Hey...I'm happy with whatever you give us. I'm just pushing a bit, heh :)
This product can go far. i'm not saying get rid of that box. I like it. It's just that some forums are very large and a text box in the post bit would be a great option for some. It's what we sales people like to call visual promotion.

People will use it because it is in front of them.

It would make sense to add the features from the Twitter Profile 1.0 Plugin to this mod.
