Used the files from here and got it working fine

Only thing i ask is ?

If i do not enter any forum ID's to be restricted, Even though they are restricted on my site, Will it show the thread to members who have no access ?

Cheers

You are a lad... thank you. This was the fix for me... I just kept getting an XML error in 4.0.3PL1 and running on my own VPS... headache material. That did the trick though with bit.ly turned off.

Currently, yes. All activity in all forums is sent unless you specifically exclude (or include) them.

Couldn't get it going, keeps flagging errors. Did exactly what you said and fix's others had, version 4.0.3 Thanks for trying though :(

Had to uninstall this. Everytime I would create a new post, I would try to reload the page, and it would give me a database error which would last for a couple minutes until I was able to successfully view the page. Also, the visitor count went up by 20-60 visitors. I have live Clicky Analytics stats, and would have only a few visitors on the page, not 64 as it once claimed! I don't know what's up with this mod, but everything has gone back to normal after uninstalling.

see this:

$options[CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION] = false;

After this, works to me

This is really awesome, thank you. :)

Works great! Very nice hack :)

OK, I followed the instructions, and the process is creating the bit.ly link and the twitter post with the link, but there's no thread title information or thread ID in the link or twitter post.

That has to be something with the plugin, correct?

not its working nice.Thanks

There's a better mod available that is easier to install and has lots of lovely options.

link? :)

Hello

Im getting this error when posting in my forum:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Twitter::updateStatus() in /home/raverno/public_html/oddseksperten.no/newthread.php(273) : eval()'d code on line 26

Any clue?

That's a new one. You sure you uploaded the classes files to the right place?

BTW, Twitter is changing authorization at the end of the month and this mod is presumably going to stop working then.

Yes, Videx is correct, this hack will stop working, the same as with my version.

Would it not be fairly easy for a coder to get it working again?

Is there any working add-on for vB4?

You mean like the one linked 3 posts above yours? :)

Note that this whole thing is very dependent on lots of server settings and some people have been unable to get it working.

Tonight i started getting this error after new threads:

The tweets still working but what about that??

I red about this mod and the other one will stop working, so is twitter.com already making changes???

Whats up with this mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=216346 ?
That one uses OAuth authentication but for 3.8.x boards...

Anyways im confuse, im gonna have to uninstall this mod since it will stop working and tell my users to tweet them selfs haha

Any assistance in getting this for the CMS only with Articles?

yeah I'm after the cms one too - that is way more important that twittering forum posts on my site

The main concern should be to get this working with openauth or whatever you call it otherwise you can forget the CMS tweets altogether.

In our case most of our articles are promoted from the forums so have already been tweeted. New articles are usually bumped in the forums so get tweeted. No real need just to tweet a new article by itself.

Maybe not for you but for those of us who run a news service with the message board there for fun there is a point.

Our articles are written into the CMS. Users who want to hang around after reading can then go to the forums and posts etc.

Is there any fix for when Twitter is over capacity? I get gnarly looking failed database messages when it's over-cap and I try to post a thread. Turning it off for now even though it is a nice mod. I rather just not risk the site looking like it totally died on new members making Intro threads or something.

Didn't this just come up somewhere? The CMS is just another forum, isn't it? All articles there start a thread in the CMS forum vBCms Comments. So why can't you tweet this forum? Maybe if it was unhidden?

Heres an error and Im assuming the attached image is the culprit. Apart from this happening once ...everthing works as it should thx

A cool option would be if seperate forums could be assigned to seperate tweets rather than just being able to exclude certain forums. The forum I admin has very diverse sub-forums so anyone interested in music doesn't want sports tweets and vice versa.

I tried to be clever and rename the .xml file and rename the productID and <title> in the file itself. It imports fine but doesn't show up in admincp->settings alongside the first copy which is a bit perplexing.

If anyone has a suggestion I'd love to hear it.

Might be something worth considering to include in the hack for the future.

Ha. That's Twitter's "Fail whale". Their servers have been overwhelmed by the World Cup. Word is that they're going to have to take the whole thing down for a while soon to implement changes.

No doubt the mod can use a lot of improvement. But you might have better luck posting over at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=236278 where it's an actual mod, not just a code hack. Be advised he charges for support, but if he can do this I bet others may help you pay for it.

Hi,

It's Working Fine and thank's but it does not support Arabic !

Working perfect, some problem with tildes in spanish, for example:

Remi Gaillard, posiblemente el tipo m?genuino de Internet

instead of

Remi Gaillard, posiblemente el tipo m?s genuino de Internet

If you need my help contact me ;) thank you for such useful mod.

OK ... I'm totally confused.

I did everything as instructed ... but just so you know, in your PHP code displayed here ... NOTHING in the code is BOLDED !!!

So, I put in the variables for everything between the '< and >'
Set up all the Twitter and Bit accounts ... put in the info ...

And ... NOTHING happens (no errors either).

So now it makes me wonder if the instructions are not being exactly clear.
For instance, do I need to enter something where it says ... 'prefixid' ...?

Or said another way ... am I supposed to modify everything between the ... ' and ' ...?
Because the instructions say replace either the BOLD (which doesn't show) or everything between the '< and >' (which still doesn't account for the URL, because it's not between the < and> )

The bolding may be long gone, but did you read the first few pages of this mod? They make it very clear what needs to be done. Never ever install a mod without reading the entire thread.

I'm not very good at installing mods, but I installed this mod a while back, following the instructions here, and didn't have any problems at any time, with the installation, the instructions are very clear :D

ok ... my bad ... got it working (sorry I jumped the gun there)

But I do have a question ... it works great ... but is there a simple way to get this to work on "replies" ...? I saw someone in this thread posted a possible solution ... just not sure if it's the best.

Thnx!

there seems to be an upgrade to twitter.class here:
http://classes.verkoyen.eu/twitter_oauth

no idea if the api is the same

so ... I incorporated the mod to this mod (contributed by lhridley) ... the one allowing for 'replies' to work too ... and it worked fine! Just be sure to be careful with the code, there's a missing "m" in the ".com" portion of the URL (and I think a few other things). Otherwise, works great!

QUESTION: Is there any way I can transfer the "tags" from new posts to the "#keywords" in the code for this plugin ...?

Thanks!

One more question ...

Not sure if anyone else here has noticed this ... but it doesn't seem to work if the new thread is "auto-generated". For instance, I'm using a couple mods that make new threads, yet no "twits" are generated:

(1) "BBR - Welcome Thread Upon Registration"; and
(2) "auto-reply"

Do I need to create a separate plugin to auto-tweet blog posts in 4.0.3? Will the same code work or does it need to be modified? Thank you.
