You would need to identify which hook is in the script that vBulletin is using to consume the RSS. This usually just means opening the .php file that is used to consume the RSS and then reading the code and looking for a line that says "hook" anywhere on it, and within that is usually the name of the hook.

Once identified the plugin can be used there too, and looking above the hook line will reveal what variables are in use that you can use in the plugin.

If other people are willing to work that bit out (I don't use that functionality) then I'm happy to publish it here too and give you credit so that it all sits in one place and people can get all the bits they want.


Apologies for not knowing jack about your server environment, software stack or configuration, etc.

I have provided a solution that works in a lot of instances and when it fails appears to be down to:
1) User details being wrong.
2) CURL not being installed.
3) JSON not being enabled.
4) Safe_Mode being used.

Check those things, you have knowledge of your environment (I hope) whereas I do not. Unfortunately I've not yet acquired the ability to telepathically converse with random servers around the world, but when I do I will sort your problems out for you.

It is the second step when you create the plugin, I had wrong to set the Hook, instead to choose Hook: newthread_post_complete, I had used Hook: replythread_post_complete.

Lol at that guy.

Is there a way to sneak in a re-tweat of popular threads every 24 hours or at a specific time frame? That would be extremely beneficial if it could be added in.

Same issue here... Looks like a great mod.

Can this be made into a product?

This mod is doing what it's supposed to, but for some reason some servers are failing to authenticate with Twitter, others get past that and can't authenticate with bitly (like my shared server).

Perhaps someone with a dedicated server can check their error logs and see just what's going on?

Perfect Mod, thanks !!! :)

Is there a way to tweet new posts, instead of just new threads?

I keep getting these SQL error emails from my server. Are these errors related to this plug-in??

I tagged this and most definitely plan to install it tomorrow.

I haven't had time to read all the posts here, but just my thoughts on what would be a great addition to this. If this could somehow be connected to separate user accounts, so that a member can have any new threads/posts they make attached to their personal Twitter account, I think it would go a very long way to attract attention to your forums.

Great work!
