vBulletin to Twitter, live tweets of new threads

[caciocode]

Fixed it! Just moved the require_once 'twitter'; to the top.

Is that safe?

[caciocode]

Is it safe to not shorten the links? I think it might add some SEO advantages if I don't shorten the links/urls

[TalkDisneyChann]

Problem here. After the thread is tweeted, it says the thread title, then 'array'. There is no bit.ly link. How can I fix this?

[acyk]

i have a question here

can I add more than two exclude forum here ?

such as

$excludedForums = array(7, 12,123,23,142,343,221,25,442);

In my twitter , it shows " My title name Array "

there is no link and no url , so I think it won't work more than two forums id

[Videx]

can I add more than two exclude forum here ?
In my twitter , it shows " My title name Array "Sure. If it really twits a line of text like that then you must have messed up the edit somehow. I'd get rid of that space before the 12 for starters. But read back a page. This is going to stop working any day now, so you're wasting your time messing with it.

[caciocode]

There has been some changes with twitter. Will this affect this mod?

[Videx]

There has been some changes with twitter. Will this affect this mod?OMG do you read at all?

YES THIS MOD WILL STOP WORKING 8/30/2010. EVERYONE STOP INSTALLING IT FOR GOD'S SAKE!

[caciocode]

Should we expect something similar soon?

[Videx]

The direct replacement for this mod is here: vBulletin2Twitter (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=236278)

Now people, please don't reply to this thread any longer as it will just bump this information lower. This particular mod no longer works because Twitter changed their requirements. Please go to the mod above.

But why works again to me?

[StokoE]

But why works again to me?

Works for me too.. I just installed it today

[MagiKelly]

Working fine for me too.

Looks like an attempt to steel a hacks users and try to get them to then upgrade to the paid version o their hack.

If there was a real issue with this hack why not let the original developer upgrade it as required as happens with other hacks.

So, just to repeat. My site is still tweeting away to its hearts content. are there actually any users of this hack who have experienced any problem since this deadline?

[Videx]

I have no clue why Basic Auth is still working. Their latest blog entry on 8/30 reiterates that oauth will be required as of 9/1/10.
Twitter Applications and OAuth (http://blog.twitter.com/2010/08/twitter-applications-and-oauth.html)
http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9182862/Twitter_API_adds_OAuth_sign_on_method?taxonomyId=1 7&pageNumber=1

Oh, and just to clear things up - the author of the new version doesn't charge for it. He only charges for support. Myself, in the spirit of supporting vb authors, bought an $11 subscription even though no support is required by me - it worked fine right out of the box.

[amagab]

Mine is not working anymore. :-(

[Videx]

I imagine they have a whole slew of servers and some will go down quicker than others.

BTW, I forgot Mosh does currently charge for the latest 404 version of his hack. But he'll be releasing it in a couple weeks for free, and in the meantime if you really don't think it's worth it, the 403 (free) version works just fine.

[vilhiem]

Mine is not working either as of this evening.

Getting an authentication error.

[vbreal]

*edit*

[MagiKelly]

My apologies for my earlier post. This mod has now stopped working on my forum and I am in the process of installing the new one.

Thank you for you input. I had read this so I knew it "could" be coming. As soon as I had a problem this morning, I knew what to do and where to look so again, thank you. I will look at installing the other Twitter mod tonight.

[StokoE]

Mine isnt well either.. stopped working for me too :( boo hoo

[carrlos]

This hack will no longer work because it does not support "OAuth" authorization. I have switched to Twitterfeed and it works like clockwork! ;)

[Videx]

Twitterfeed has serious limits which make it a less attractive alternative to direct posting via mod. Though I still do use it to post to FB since there is no mod for that.

*) Updates are at best every 30 minutes.
*) Maximum 5 updates every 30 minutes.

[DAMINK]

Yep not working anymore.
Time to switch.

[Sparrow-Sean]

Damn, such a good mod that now does not work, GRRR.

What changes do we have to make to make it work?

This forum (http://www.sheersoftware.com) is dying because this is not working anymore, please help.

[MikeCyber]

edit, nevermind

[fountainmass]

I just got this working again. It was pretty simple.

First, like with the other mods, you will need to register a new Twitter Application (while logged with your normal Twitter account) - http://dev.twitter.com/apps/new

Note down the "Consumer Key" and "Consumer Secret" (Under App Details) as well as the "Access Token" and "Access Token Secret" (under My Access Token on the App details screen).

Step 1: Download Tijs Verkoyen's new twitter.php file (which supports OAuth) - http://classes.verkoyen.eu/modules/twitter_oauth/files/php_twitter_2_0_1.zip

Step 2: Edit the file.

add your Access Token to "private $oAuthToken = " (line 88)
add your Access Token Secret to "private $oAuthTokenSecret =" (line 96).


Step 3: Upload it to the root directory of your forum (ie. replace your old twitter.php)

Step 4: Edit your vBulletin module, and change these two lines:

$twitter = new Twitter('<twitter username>','<twitter password>');
$twitter->updateStatus($tweet);

to

$twitter = new Twitter('<Twitter Consumer Key>', '<Twitter Consumer Secret>');
$twitter->statusesUpdate($tweet);

All should be sweet now. :D

At least, it was for me...

[Alecsmith]

@ fountainmass Thanks for tip but its still giving error so i removed it.

[Videx]

I just got this working again. It was pretty simple.

At least, it was for me...Not nearly as simple as just installing a mod (vBulletin2Twitter) (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=236278). Out of curiosity, why did you go to all this trouble instead?

I'm working with it too. My reasoning being it is a challenge, with a reward of knowledge. As I haven't successfully written my own mod, fixing this one helps me towards my goal. If I had started with vBulletin2Twitter I'd learn less.

But yes, you are right, it isn't as simple as installing another mod. In fact, if I didn't get it right pretty quickly, I would have done just that.

I notice a lot of shorten urls on tweeter, and have noticed this mod requires
or suggests that you use a shorten url service...I am curious to know why?

Thanks.

[Videx]

I notice a lot of shorten urls on tweeter, and have noticed this mod requires or suggests that you use a shorten url service...I am curious to know why.Two reasons. First, Twitter only allows 140 characters, so long urls can get cut off. Second, shortening services usually allow some method for you to see how many people are actually clicking the link.

But shortening isn't usually necessary at all.

is it possible to make it so that it submits to twitter at a delayed rate ? for example, i want 1 tweet per 10 minutes and evenly throughout day and night. Is this possible? any solution ?

[Videx]

is it possible to make it so that it submits to twitter at a delayed rate ? for example, i want 1 tweet per 10 minutes and evenly throughout day and night. Is this possible? any solution ?Not very easily. You would have to code some sort of FIFO buffer, and you would have to account for the possibility that if you had too many posts, it couldn't save a backlog longer than x days. And it would have to account for slow days - if a new post came in more than 10 minutes from the last, it would have to go out immediately and start the 10 minute counter fresh.

Basic authentication is not supportedThat's nice. Is there a question here? Before you ask it, have you read back a bit? Like maybe the post right before yours?

[Azonaco]

That's nice. Is there a question here? Before you ask it, have you read back a bit? Like maybe the post right before yours?

So are you recommending that we read all previous 37 pages of comments as well before installing. Someone needs to update this mod.

[Videx]

So are you recommending that we read all previous 37 pages of comments as well before installing. Someone needs to update this mod.The last time I asked to get a mod sent to the graveyard because it had stopped working I was told exactly that. That it's the user's responsibility to read the entire mod and determine if it works before they install it.

People are still installing that broken mod also after some 2 years now. I finally just had to unsubscribe from it's thread because I couldn't take it anymore.

[jinx222]

i think this thread should be deleted or the mod updated if it doesn't work....i don't get why it's still up.

[oldengine]

OMG do you read at all?

YES THIS MOD WILL STOP WORKING 8/30/2010. EVERYONE STOP INSTALLING IT FOR GOD'S SAKE!

Why not simply close the thread?

[6MTUA5]

I installed it just like the directions said and it is not tweeting new threads

I just tried resetting the API Key for bit.ly and tried it again

[Jennifer2010]

Uninstall this version and go to https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=236278&page=7 for the new, working version. Read the thread before installing.

That's a completely different mod. It does not tweet all threads it simply tweets the admin's threads or posts - which IMHO is pretty useless.

The only solution I apparently know of is what was suggested by a previous user and grab the forum's RSS feed and hook it up with TweetFeed or something similar.

[todomaquinas]

I will mark as uninstalled, because does not work with my forum.

vBulletin 4.1.0 versión.

I search for another mod, or if you know for some mod for live tweets, i apreciate if told me about. Thanks...

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2146035&postcount=559

[cormee]

I just got this working again. It was pretty simple.

First, like with the other mods, you will need to register a new Twitter Application (while logged with your normal Twitter account) - http://dev.twitter.com/apps/new

Note down the "Consumer Key" and "Consumer Secret" (Under App Details) as well as the "Access Token" and "Access Token Secret" (under My Access Token on the App details screen).

Step 1: Download Tijs Verkoyen's new twitter.php file (which supports OAuth) - http://classes.verkoyen.eu/modules/twitter_oauth/files/php_twitter_2_0_1.zip

Step 2: Edit the file.

add your Access Token to "private $oAuthToken = " (line 88)
add your Access Token Secret to "private $oAuthTokenSecret =" (line 96).


Step 3: Upload it to the root directory of your forum (ie. replace your old twitter.php)

Step 4: Edit your vBulletin module, and change these two lines:

$twitter = new Twitter('<twitter username>','<twitter password>');
$twitter->updateStatus($tweet);

to

$twitter = new Twitter('<Twitter Consumer Key>', '<Twitter Consumer Secret>');
$twitter->statusesUpdate($tweet);

All should be sweet now. :D

At least, it was for me...


That worked for me - thanks v much :)

For the sake of anyone reading this post who is getting errors when they install the plugin, try fountainmass' instructions above. It's slightly difficult but it works.

[Alfa1]

I only want to post new threads to twitter after they have been rated 5 stars. This way only interesting threads are posted to twitter. If I would post all new threads to twitter then my twitterfeed would get hundreds of posts per day. This would be spammy as not all of them would be of interest to twitter followers.

Please consider to add this function.

[jackalopejoe]

Well that was a waste of time... Why don't they graveyard this......


This one however works fine.

Go to the upper right and "search this mod" for the error you're getting. Specifically "Basic authentication is not supported".

[mairving]

Thanks for the help. What it boils down to, essentially, is that this mod is a piece of crap. Right? LOL

Thanks for the help. What it boils down to, essentially, is that this mod is a piece of crap. Right? LOL

Works for me without an issue and im on 4.2.0 so honestly no i would have to disagree.

[mairving]

I know. It was a little sarcasm. Videx seems to have a strong distaste with this mod (and maybe for people like me that don't read all 40 pages of the thread).

[grunty1]

Hey mairving I encountered the same problem at first! The solution is that in the array you need to break up the numbers.

I.e. instead of "1,2,3,4"

it should be "1, 2, 3, 4"

That fixed it for me.

[cuco88]

I tried this with my 4.2.0-board. It didn't work, the bit.ly-thing threw out errors. After fixing that the twitter-thing threw out other and more complicated errors. I tried to fix it and I got it working. But many changes were needed. I try to tell you:

At first, don't use the attached bitly.php. Use the linked one in the first posting. Or take this link:
http://classes.verkoyen.eu/bitly
unzip it, place it in the forum-root

Second: the twitter-API only accepts oAuth now, no basic username/password authentication anymore. So you have to use the new twitter.php. Don't use the one attached to the first posting. And don't use the one linked in the first posting. Use this one instead: http://classes.verkoyen.eu/twitter_oauth
unzip it. Don't place it in the forum root now! We have to edit it!

Now you have to get a legacy-API-key from bit.ly: https://bitly.com/a/settings/advanced
And you need oAuth-data from twitter. Use this link: https://dev.twitter.com/ then click on "my applications" in the menu on the upper right. Click on "create new application" and enter your data. (you don't need to enter a callback-url) Then your app is created. Click on "settings" and then switch to "Read, Write and Access direct messages". Update application settings. Go back on the "details"-tab and click on "create my access-token". Go to tab "oAuth tool" You will see four keys now. You need all of them. Open your twitter.php, search for "private $oAuthToken = ' ';" Place the "Access token" here. Then search for "private $oAuthTokenSecret = ' ';" Place your "Aceess token secret" between the ' ' here. Now save the file and upload it to your forum root. The other two codes (consumer key, consumer secret) are needed in the plugin-script, see below.

Go to plugin-manager and create a new plugin:
vBulletin
newthread_post_complete
Tweet to Twitter

Now use the following code
If you want to exclude some forums, edit this line:
$excludedForums = array(1, 2);
and place the forum-ids between the brackets. use array() if you don't want to exclude any forums.

this line:
$shortUrl = 'http://yourURLhere.com/showthread.php?t='.$newpost[threadid];
change "YourURLhere.com" to your forum-URL.

In this line:
$bitly = new Bitly('username', 'API_key');
you have to put in your bit.ly-username and the generated API-key.

And in this line:
$twitter = new Twitter('consumer-key','consumer-secret');
you have to put in the consumer-key and the consumer-secret from the twitter o-auth-tool.


// The array below are the ids of non-public forums, update these to be your admin forum ids or anything non-public by default
$excludedForums = array(1, 2);

// If you are having trouble getting bitly URL shortening to work... disable it!
$useBitly = true;

if (!in_array($foruminfo[forumid], $excludedForums)) {
$shortUrl = 'http://yourURLhere.com/showthread.php?t='.$newpost[threadid];

if ($useBitly) {
// http://classes.verkoyen.eu/bitly
require_once 'bitly.php';
$bitly = new Bitly('username', 'API_key');
$result_bit = array();
$result_bit = $bitly->shorten($shortUrl);
$shortUrl = $result_bit['url'];
}

$tweet = '';
if (isset($newpost['prefixid']) && $newpost['prefixid'] != '') {
$tweet = $vbphrase['prefix_'.$newpost['prefixid'].'_title_plain'].' ';
}
$tweet .= $newpost['title'].' '.$shortUrl;

// http://classes.verkoyen.eu/twitter/
require_once 'twitter.php';
$twitter = new Twitter('consumer-key','consumer-secret');
$twitter->statusesUpdate($tweet);
}

Save and activate it. This worked for me :-) No curl-erros anymore, no "unauthorized access" errors anymore, no .... errors, just working :)

[nyenius]

cuco88 thanks in advance for your post, but i've followed all your steps and ends up with this kind of message:

------WebKitFormBoundary*******************--

why is that?

**im using vb4.2

[cuco88]

Where do you get this message? Does the forum work or do you only get this message?

And does the plugin do anything? Is there a shortened link when you login to your bit.ly-account? Is there a tweet on Twitter?

If found a bug in the Twitter.php when using Unicode values with more than 1 byte, I have an easy fix for that, but I don't think this is the problem. Or are you using non english characters? Like ä ö ü é â, ...?

[nyenius]

Right afer I submitted new thread. It just shows these lines and blank white screen.

The thread submitted correctly, but there's nothing new appears on bitly or twitter.

I not using non-english character either. I just copy-pasted the cde, that's all.

[cuco88]

Looks like a problem with JSON. This can happen with the bitly.php. Try set
$useBitly = true;
to
$useBitly = false;

[nyenius]

first time I encountered this error, it was the bitly disabled. then I enabled it, still the same message. Is it the hosting configuration?

[Videx]

The problem is you're trying to use a mod that hasn't worked in a long time. Presumably because you neglected to read back a few posts and discover this fact. This is vital, especially when you can see from post #1 that the author hasn't been around for ages.

You can keep playing around trying to get this one to work, or you can just go use one that does: WS vBulletin Tweet Poster (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=236278)

[nyenius]

I just think is possible because everyone seems succeed installing this mod. It's strange that the problem seems different from one person and another.

ok I'll try the mod that you refer to. thanks :)

[cuco88]

Yeah. This happens if your hoster has no JSON support for PHP.

Can this do twitter updates to different accounts from different forums?

Like an off topic twitter account for the off topic forum only for example?

No.
Bummer, clumping everything in one account doesn't make too much sense for diverse forums.

[Videx]

Bummer, clumping everything in one account doesn't make too much sense for diverse forums.An interesting concept. Instead of instant notification via email, a sort of instant notification via Twitter. Probably nothing you couldn't do with hashtags though, without the need to set up a separate Twitter account for each forum.

I don't think it would work on our forum (a local community site). The users are barely able to understand the concept of email subscriptions. I seriously doubt many of them could handle some sort of Twitter client for that.

In my own case, It would work fine on my desktop where I have Trillian displaying tweets on my second monitor. But I rarely run Twitter when on mobile, so would be a huge fail compared to instant email notifications.

Well if you use something like VB Cerberus to split your forums up as is separate Twitter accounts are already being used. Hash tags just won't do it.

I'm sure this could be modified to do what I'm asking by someone.

[Videx]

I'm sure this could be modified to do what I'm asking by someone.Maybe, but this one hasn't worked at all in a long time and the coder isn't around any longer. Thank goodness he labeled it 'reusable code' before he left!

Personally, I would like to see any such mod also include Facebook posts. Right now it's way too difficult. I can't even begin to imagine how you would handle multiple accounts on FB or even if they allow it.

Any ideas on whats wrong here please ? Cheers

[Videx]

Any ideas on whats wrong here please ? CheersI don't mind repeating myself for newbies (much). But as a coder you really should know better than to basically post "it doesn't work", especially for a mod that hasn't worked in ages.

If I can assume that as a coder you read this entire thread before installing, including my post immediately before yours, then you really need to post some more info about what you've done so far to get it working. The mod is marked as reusable, so you're welcome to try fixing it, but really your efforts might be better spent on a mod to post to Facebook right now.

[betts02]

Firstly where in your infinite wisdom do you see me posting "It Doesn't work" ?
Exactly, I never posted that, I simply posted the error i got and asked if anyone had any ideas

Secondly as a coder i made a couple of simple HTML edits which i shared with the community and which is why i got placed in the 'Coder' usergroup

Thirdly i do not want anything from my site posted to facebook as everything that gets posted on my twitter account gets automatically posted to my facebook account

Fourthly i have read every page and see some have no issues or have at least got it working, I do not wish to use the other mod as it is different to this

So in all of that, Please think before you reply
