Good point. Yes, if you're getting a whole lot of new original articles all the time then I can see where some sort of automation may be desired. But usually when people ask for this sort of thing it's because they have automated feeds coming in from elsewhere, and they just want to pass them through as if it's their own material. Out of curiosity, how many original articles per day do your members write? And what is your secret? I can't get my members to write anything. Well, nothing that shouldn't just be a new thread and not an article.

Works great in 4.0.7 with no issues at all. Thanks for a useful mod to help build up the ole Twitter.

Update: v4.0.004
-- Updated: Installation/Upgrade/Removal Instructions file
-- Updated: Screenshots
-- Fixed: Tweets for new replies now correctly use the AdminCP's timezone offset setting along with DST settings for the timestamp
-- Added: AdminCP Options to also use the TinyURL and tli.td url shortening services
-- Added: Automatic check to see if tweet is longer 140 characters or not (and post tweet if not)
-- Added: Automatic truncate tweet title text in the tweet if the tweet (including the URL) exceeds 140 characters
-- Added: Automatic check to see if number of hourly calls to the Twitter OAuth API has been exceeded or not (and post tweet if not)
-- Added: Ability to use vBulletin "Friendly URLs" (available in vBulletin 4 and later only) or just plain URLs
-- Added: All files needed for this hack in one package (no longer necessary to download other class files separately any more)

it will be great if function like this have at Facebook..when new thread open,it will post new posting at Facebook fanpage

please how i can fix it


thanks

The answer is right there in post #1:

Comma separated list of forumids allowed to be included when vBulletin posts to twitter.

Well isnt this a chore...? Would it not have been better just to exclude the
forums rathering then listing 50+ that it will include? I can exclude 3, but
rather having that option, I have to list 47 that I want to include...

Working like a charm, but have to take some time to add all the forums to the include...

The author has already included an exclusion list in the next release. Whew!

I can not it even posts private or admin sections unless you tell it not too...

I have never been a big fan of twitter or faceback...but once I saw the original
thread then I remembered I had a twitter name already setup not in use, so
I thought I would give this a try...it could not hurt i guess...

holy cow...I made my first twit post via the forum, and now I have 25 random spiders viewing that only twit thread that I made...wow...Its not unusal to have so many spiders, what I find interesting is that every single one is looking at that post only...
and another thing I find interesting is they are random spiders, normally they are like one spider or another, but these are
90% random/different spiders....
