Thanks for the fix!

Works perfect now! No more bit.ly or twitter php issues.

Installed and working great first time!

Thanks a million!

Just noticed that my RSS feeds are not being directed to Twitter?!?!

Noticed a lot of people saying the same.. I wouldn't mind making a small finanical donation if you could get RSS posts to be posted on Twitter?!

I'm sure others would also.

is bit.ly having issues? I can not seem to register...
"There was a problem posting your request. Please try again."

Been trying for quite some time now.

edit: never mind, that was disgusting... i couldn't sign up with FF 3.6, loaded up my old IE 6 and it worked...

Why don't you just use Twitterfeed (or similar) to forward RSS to Twitter? Seems to me you're going to have trouble with any but the very shortest posts.

I'm not sure what the problem is with RSS feeds to twitter on vb4 as there are a couple of addons for vb3.8 which work very very well. :(

Just installed, seems to be working great, thank you very much.

This is very poorly designed. Why not just build a standard plugin with a traditional Admin CP interface to insert the relevant details for this linkage? As it stands, all I see is an amateurish hack. Does anyone know how to do this correctly?

Peace,

I'm getting the word "Array" appended to the end of each message and no link to the thread as you can check here:

here's my plugin contents:

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(5,6);

// If you are having trouble getting bitly URL shortening to work... disable it!
$useBitly = true;

if (!in_array($foruminfo[forumid], $excludedForums)) {
    $shortUrl = 'http://www.xeon3d.info/forums/showthread.php?t='.$newpost[threadid];

    if ($useBitly) {
      // http://classes.verkoyen.eu/bitly
      require_once 'bitly.php';
      $bitly = new Bitly('realusernamehere', 'realAPIkeyhere');
      $shortUrl = $bitly->shorten($shortUrl);
    }

    $tweet = '';
    if (isset($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('realusernamehere','realpasswordhere');
    $twitter->updateStatus($tweet);
}
