- - Miscellaneous Hacks - vBulletin to Twitter, live tweets of new threads (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=234288)

I would like to know if this thing will tweet new posts INSTEAD of new threads......

I'm sorry I don't understand. I wish to have this but where do I put the aforementioned PHP code?

In bitly.php or twitter.php or elsewhere?

I actually figured out my post above.

New question: I don't get this

The shortUrl line might look like this:
$shortUrl = 'http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t='.$newpost[threadid];

How do I know what to put?

My forums are not in my forum root folder. How do I proceed?

This is my error:

Warning: require_once(bitly.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/newthread.php(262) : eval()'d code on line 12

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'bitly.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/dumontnjforum.com/forums/newthread.php(262) : eval()'d code on line 12

And here's my PHP:

PHP Code:


		
			
// 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(20);



// If you are having trouble getting bitly URL shortening to work... disable it!

$useBitly = true;



if (!in_array($foruminfo[forumid], $excludedForums)) {

    $shortUrl = 'http://www.dumontnjforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t='.$newpost[threadid];



    if ($useBitly) {

      // http://classes.verkoyen.eu/bitly

      require_once 'bitly.php';

      $bitly = new Bitly('bitly username', 'bitly API KEY');

$shortUrl = $bitly->shorten('http://www.dumontnjforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t='.$newpost[threadid]);



    }



    $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('twitter username', 'twitter password');

    $twitter->updateStatus($tweet);

}

Can someone please give me a hand?

Actually I'm getting closer. This is what I got now. How do I fix this?
PHP code is in post above this one.

Hey, if you get bit.ly working, let me know how!

{offtopic}
But an off topic comment from another community forum admin: You've got way too much junk on that forum. A custom theme, vbseo, even a gd arcade! All three of these by themselves can wreak havoc on vb. Not that long time admins haven't gotten them all working together (well, not in vb4 yet), but how many in your community do you really expect to hang out to play in the arcade? Are you making a forum for kids? Asking for trouble, especially if you're on a shared server.

Thanks for answering w/o an answer. :confused: Duly noted but not taken seriously because as per another community forum admin you're a shit-stirrer.

Now. Is there an answer in our future? :)

Hey Bob,

Are you 100% certain that your bit.ly credentials are correct?

I thought mine were, but bit.ly for some reason carries a space with the key when you copy/paste it into the box.

(If you want, fire me a PM with your full plugin code, I won't share it with anyone, and might be able to figure it out.)

Again, thanks for taking the time to answer. :)
