I believe those mods submit the new auto-post straight to the DB, so they do not use the normal submit post method, and therefore they bypass this tweet mod all together.

Thanks Dragonsys ... but can you imagine any way around this to get it to work ...?

Thanks and great mod!!!

All i can really suggest is to ask the author's of those mods if they can make them work with this one (or vice versa)

I got a headache reading through all the posts, and still can not resolve my issue...
I really would like to use bitz.ly, and I think that I have setup the API Key correctly.

however, I still get the following errors..according to other posts, I should use is.gd, but can I use bitzly, and resolve the following issue??

nvalid JSON-response on line 203 in /var/www/vhosts/website/httpdocs/forum/includes/bitly.php
#0 /var/www/vhosts/website/httpdocs/forum/includes/bitly.php(414): Bitly->doCall('shorten', Array)

thanks so muchhhh

As stated in the OP:

Q: I see an "INVALID_JSON" error

A: Disable bitly by setting $useBitly to false.

This is probably due to JSON being limited or not installed by your webhost. Check you phpinfo and make sure JSON is installed.

Can we add more then 1 twitter account?

thanks for your kind reply.

1. I do have JSON enabled.
json
json support enabled
json version 1.2.1

2. how do I set $useBitly to false? which file?

thanks!

And that's it. Save and activate the plugin and create a test thread.

Now whenever a new thread is started, a tweet will be made to twitter instantly

#okay, I see it now..my god, it is a plugin......I was looking into the bitly.php and twitter.php forever....

sorry, I am new to this..

you get it working?

Okay, I pasted the code as a hook, do I choose new_post_complete as the hook location?

no error message, but nothing happened as well :-(

anybody who can help ? plz ?...

Hey great mod.. but does this put much extra stress on the server ?

This mod will not do that currently. I do not know of any which do.

Pleeeeeeeese how to get this work on Arabic vbulletin ?:confused::confused::confused:

Hi,

I have installed this mod and have only got it half working, so I was wondering if anyone can help me out

I get no error messages and I get a tweet posted on Twitter and a link made in bit.ly however the problem is that the tweet only has the thread title in it and then the word "Array", the bit.ly link that was created is not on the tweet. However when I login to bit.ly I can see the link that was created

Any ideas?

Thanks

wow, little hack and ready to go. I really loved this mod. Its good - Can we make option whether to post on twitter or not?

are you using the twitter.php which is attached to this page or the one downloaded from http://classes.verkoyen.eu/twitter/

make sure you use the one attached to the mod post, the one from the link above does not work for everyone.

Brilliant! Thank you!

I couldnt download the ones from this post yesterday so used the ones on the link instead and obviously that was the problem

Thanks again

I've installed it but won't work.....
Can someone help me by checking the code below? Thanks a lot!

// 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(0);

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

if (!in_array($foruminfo[forumid], $excludedForums = array(6)) {
$shortUrl = 'http://www.mymarketingforum.ch/showthread.php?t='.$newpost[threadid];

if ($useBitly) {
// http://classes.verkoyen.eu/bitly
require_once 'bitly.php';
$bitly = new Bitly('mymafo','http://bit.ly/9nWRYw');
$shortUrl = $bitly->shorten($shortUrl);
}

$tweet = '';
if (isset($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('mymafo','xxxxxxxxx');
$twitter->updateStatus($tweet);
}

It works great, thanks a bunch :)

Details?
Check it for what? What error(s) are you getting. Just saying it doesn't work tells us nothing, and makes helping you impossible.

Actually, I think I do see a goof up in line 7. Why are you redeclaring the array? Did someone tell you to do that?I think you're just supposed to enter the 6 in line 2:

Opps, wrong thread. Sorry. :-)

Thanks for this, it's working great, but there's one thing I'd like to get working if possible.

When an article is posted on the CMS, it automatically posts a notification thread, but for some reason these threads don't get tweeted. Does anyone have any idea why this would be please?

Edit: I've just noticed that threads posted via RSS don't get tweeted either.

I'm on 4.0.3 CMS.

Thanks muchly :)

I had installed vbseo in vbulletin 4.0.2.

When i posting it automatically tweets in twitter but when i am viewing the page It shows me Not found page. I think the url is not in vbseo format (i.e.) The url is like this
"http://www.penmai.com/forum/showthread.php?t=264"

instead of like this "http://www.penmai.com/forums/media-talk/264-soundarya-rajinikanth-engagement-photos.html"

What can i do to redirect to vbseo url.

This is because these types of posts do not use the normal posting method, and therefore by-pass this mod altogether.

Thanks, so, at present, it something I can't fix then? it's not a huge problem for me, but we get a lot of rss feed posts and it seems a shame to lose out on the traffic from them :)

You probably shouldn't re-tweet someone else's material anyway. Do you want people taking your RSS and tweeting it?

It's from our Joomla front end.

And yes, why would I mind people tweeting our rss feed? they all ultimately come back to our site to read the article. On the other hand, if they took the content and then tweeted their own site without a link to us, then that would be bad.

I've this problem with bitly setted up to false

{ "status_code": 200, "status_txt": "OK", "data": { "long_url": "http:\/\/www.immobilio.it\/showthread.php?t=6139", "url": "http:\/\/bit.ly\/c2CwZT", "hash": "c2CwZT", "global_hash": "dt21Ec", "new_hash": 1 } } Invalid JSON-response on line 202 in /var/www/vhosts/immobilio.it/httpdocs/bitly.php

#3 /var/www/vhosts/immobilio.it/httpdocs/vbseo.php(1392): require('/var/www/vhosts...')

What's wrong?

Who knows. But since this version is due to stop working soon, nobody should bother trying to get it to work any more. Use the other one: vBulletin2Twitter

Q: I see an "INVALID_JSON" error

A: Disable bitly by setting $useBitly to false.

How can I pull tweets from the CMS ?
The URL is http://www.domainname/forum/content.php

Thanks,
Leo

I keep getting the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /path/forums/newthread.php(271):eval()'d code on line 7

It will create the new thread but it will not go to Bit or Twitter.

I've read through the entire thread and I've seen other people post a similar error, but I'm not seeing that it has been solved. Anybody have an idea on how to fix it?

This doesn't work with threads that are made by a bot from an RSS feed. Any reason why it will not?

Basically because those posts don't come from the same direction as posts made by a live person. Ditto any other automatic posts, like those from the calendar (Event Forums).

Is there a way to make it work though?

After reading through loads of pages i followed the adjustments below and I'm closer than I have ever been. Currently I'm able to post to twitter as long as i set the bit.ly to false in my plugin.



When I set it to true I get the following error:


Can anyone shed any light on this problem?

Probably, at some point. But not by me. It may require different hooks in the vb code itself, I dunno.

A reminder: This mod is going to stop working in August since it has not been modified to work with Twitter's new oauth. Everyone should stop fooling with it.
