This is done in 1.0.6 which isn't released yet.

Just want to say THANK YOU Milad for this hack, I installed it and it worked first time. Took me a while to work out how to manually tweet, but found it in usergroup permissions.

EXCELLENT hack mate. :up::)

Bro, this hack works great! Thank you very much for the hard work.

I have the same concern as these guys: is there a way to limite the amount of tweets per day? Mine it's a really big forum, and this hack looks like it's spamming.

I really enjoy it, but maybe some people wont.

Twitter has pretty reasonable limitations built in, I forget what it is, maybe 60 posts per hour over an hour, maybe more I really do forget.

How can you limit the # of tweets? Really, simply. Take the most popular forums, turn the tweet ability off. Go into the forum settings, turn the auto-tweet ability off per forum. Things like the "chat forum" or "general discussion", etc don't need to be tweeted, do they? Enter self regulation there.

I agree, it might be a good idea to add this option manually, but until you do, it could be done like that.

If i take the most poppular forums, I will have to leave only "Annoucements" forums :)

What I just did, it's manually edit the vBulletin Tweet Poster Scheduled task, to post only twice per hour. I not sure if that will work, but I think so :)

that doesnt help, after that time, It post like hell.

Since I have my tweeter and facebook account integrated, facebook changed me the password for security reason, even they got scared :)

I changed to once a day, to see how will work, but I am kind of scared.

There should be a way to limit the number of tweets every hour, day, minutes, that way this hack will be prefect!

Twitter has a limit of 150 api call in an hour, I advise you to switch off the manual tweeting, and leave the tweeting of hot threads only, so you will receive more traffic for the most attractive threads in a given period (24 hours or may be less if your forums are very busy).

Please add an option to have only the topic title as a tweet and not part of the message.

keep up the good work

Having the topic itself bleed into the message is rather ugly and leads to cut off tweets. The only thing that's really needed is the title of the thread

I dont get step 3 3) *Optional* go to http://bit.ly/ and register an account there, you need it to shorten the URLs!
There are two important values here: the login username and the apiKey (you can obtain it from http://bit.ly/account/)
