the code edits and everything seems to be linked up and working

Do I need to do the edits?

Also do I need to edit any other code?

Nope.

I notice when you "Tweet this post", on twitter is says "Check this out!" (which I modified) and a tinyurl.com link to the post.

Is there a way to make it work with this linkbee mod:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=192044

So instead of converting to tinyurl.com links, they become your Linkbee.com links?

The million dollar answer is I don't do any converting once so ever. That tinyurl converting is not done by my modification.

Can I just make a simple suggestion?

Hope about just doing something like this:

PHP Code:

<a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Currently reading <?php the_VB THREAD FUNCTION(); ?>" title="Click 
to send this page to Twitter!" target="_blank">Share on This On Twitter!</a>

AND THEN

that will bring them to twitter and they can login or it will post the message if they are already logged in as most people are all day long anyhow.

I think trying to bridge the log in is just way over board for a simple "twitter"

I love the module though, and I would just just the above to keep it simple :)

That won't be done as it'll be bridged in several new ways in the next update.

That's the fault of either (a) your site being considered spam or (b) tinyurl is considered SPAM. It's not my modification.

I can see no point in a forum's users littering their twitter pages with a stream of Check This Out text with no description in the links of what the potential visitor might be looking at? I can't speak for other web users out there, but I don't have a tendancy to click on links just because they tell me to click here or to check this out. If you could find a way to form a better link, perhaps by pulling in the post/thread title, then this mod could be mildly useful.

Until then, I am uninstalling this mod. I wish you success as you try to get this worked out, and I would revisit this mod if you can communicate better to users what exactly the link is going to be about.

Regards,
Lima Bean


Good points.

I click to Tweet a message and get this:

Quote:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/password/public_html/forums/includes/twitter.php on line 29
It appears as though I have all my requirements installed on the server.

Hm. Odd, as it is running on my site without problems. Mind emailing me your /includes/twitter.php file? doglover3049 @ gmail.com without spaces.

Please, if you know...I'm just wondering if you know what code I need to change so that the "tweet" title reflects the title of the post "tweeted".

For the record, this took 69 lines of code in a preliminary testing stage. With error checking it does error checking in several steps:
  1. Format Tweet with post title.
  2. Find length of tweet + link, if under 140, skip to the last number.
  3. If above 140, it uses the TinyURL API to create a shortened link and recreates the Tweet.
  4. Rechecks length, if under 140 skip to the last step.
  5. If above 140, it takes the post title and shrinks it so that the tweet is exactly 140 characters and adds a '...' to the end of the chopped off title.
  6. Send Tweet
This needs to be coded for thread titles, so it'll be at least another 69 lines of code, compared to the 10 it was before this detailed tweet functionality.

oh i see. is it possible to release a patch for this version with this functionality?
i know the members are burning for it. It's just that 1.1 is feature packed. I wonder if it will take a good deal of time to code and debug. I realize you do this for free so your time and availability has to be considered to.

That's a major feature :) I'm quickly depending on your mod.

I am no longer developing 1.0.x; it would require fundamental changes to how the plugin works, which is why I am saving it for 1.1 / 2.0.

Unless you need comic relief in the thread.
