View Full Version : Auto-Post new CMS articles to Facebook or Twitter

I am searching for a modification which automatically posts new CMS articles either on a Twitter account (which I specify) or on a Facebook Fanpage (which I specify).

The addon must not include both options (Twitter and Facebook together) but at least one of them.

I should be able to define a Twitter account or Facebook Site where to post new CMS articles from the admin panel.

Example:
An user is creating a new article in the CMS. When he published the article a notification is automatically sent either to Facebook or Twitter with a predefined account (from the admin panel).

I searched a long time now in this and other forums for a modification like this, but without success.
Does anyone knows a modification like this, or would develop a modification for me (I would pay for a working solution)?

Thanks in advance.

You may have read that I am searching or requesting such an addon. That's why you cannot find a link here.

Check out http://apps.facebook.com/rssgraffiti/ for cms-to-fackbook. Then use a facebook app for fb-to-twitter. I use rssgraffiti on my vb4 cms.

If your article image doesn't show up in fb, try hand coding the img tag. I keep some generic HTML in a text file on hand to do this quickly (see below):

<div style="display: block;float:left"><IMG SRC="http://www.MyDomain.com/images/news/zzzzzzzzzzzzz" alt="zzzzz"></div>
<div style="display: block;float:left"><IMG SRC="http://www.MyDomain.com/images/news/zzzzzzzzzzzzz" alt="zzzzz"></div>
<div style="display: block;float:left"><IMG SRC="http://www.MyDomain.com/images/news/zzzzzzzzzzzzz" alt="zzzzz"></div>

Thanks for your reply.

I tested RSS Grafitti and it works for posting articles to Facebook.

But the FB to Twitter App will not post a new tweet from a RSSGrafitti Facebook post.
If I am creating a new FB Post manually the FB to Twitter App posts a tweet, if the FB Post is created by RSSGrafitti, the FB to Twitter App does not create a new tweet. :(
