I've followed the instructions I believe and have installed everything, but new threads aren't being posted at Twitter. I don't get any error messages on the forums or at Twitter. :confused:

I saw that buro9 told someone they could PM him their PHP info so I'm going to do that and see if I might have messed up the syntax.

Thank you for your help, looking forward to getting this fix and running with it. :D

Wow you are the bomb! Is there a way to get some of the words from the new thread? Just installed, http://forum.vbdiscussions.com - http://twitter.com/vbdiscussions

It doesn't work with vBSEO enabled with custom URL structure, any solution?

Seems it's not working with the new vbseo for me either. :confused:

I have tried to replace this string:

with my own custom URL string but without success, it doesn't work.

Yeah, the "showthread.php?t=" is not what shows up in a thread listing page URL when you use vbseo 3.5, so I mentioned to buro9 that might be the problem. But I have no clue. I'm not getting any error messages when I make a thread nor do I see any on the Twitter page. It just looks like nothing is happening. I asked my host and they said that CURL and JSON were enabled as well. :confused:

That is not true,It does work with VBSEO,I use 3.5 with VB 4.01

Works like Magic.
Installed and Nominated,Simplest and Complete.
I have used Milad version before ,but this rocks !!!,Thanks a million buro 9 ,For the last one Month I have frequent here looking for this.

Works great for me and I'm another new VBSEO user to :D - Thanks :)

Got the authenticated error, and yes, I put in ALL the details. I've checked over and over, and it's correct. Any ideas?

I'd also like to do this - just not sure what variable to use (if it's available).

And thanks - mod works perfectly.

Solved! And now works great

I have used Hook: newtreply_post_complete instead to use Hook: newthread_post_complete

worked great , after I spent an hour trying to fine those <> bits that I could not see in front of me ..lol

I thought that myself but it was just a simple entry error I made... look harder.
Yes it's frustrating as hell .. instructions supplied confused me a little.
Pm your code a I fresh set of eyes might see the problem

Can you expand on this a bit? What was solved? Is this a method of getting all the posts, not just a new thread? Where did you change this?

That's an option made available when originally setting up the plugin, if you edit your plugin you'll see a drop down box with hook references. You can select it from there :)

Hey all, although this is working really good for me For posts made by my members, I have a forum which is populated by an RSS feed and new posts made within this forum are not being posted.

I'm thinking that the hook isn't being activated as a user isn't physically clicking the submit post button in these instances. Any ideas?

Thanks

Mark

Presumably, like my missing calendar entries, newthread_post_complete isn't being called. Which is why I was hoping you had found a better hook.

What string did you use for what I.am posted?

I've got the plugin working now, but only because I disabled bit.ly url shortening. So, that might be the problem rather than the vbseo URLs. Anyone else only able to get the plugin to work if you disabled bit.ly?? :confused: I'd really like to be able to use the bit.ly URL shortening as we have some long news article titles from time to time.

Why would I pm you the code with my password and stuff in it? It's fine, I've looked over it like 10 times, no joke. There are no spaces, there are no ><, so what could be the problem?

Great stuff! installed and working beautifully!!

Boko I'm not interested in your pass , if you thought about it you could add any rubbish in place of your private details.
Best of luck with your problem, maybe some one else might offer to help.
I've now installed it on four forums and runs like a charm.

Hey buro9 or any one, what do I need to edit to allow RSS feeds bot poster to work with the script?
I have some video sites that feed to forum and I would like for these to be added to tweet when they are posted by the feed bot.
Any help would be great!

tried all different ways get the following error

/statuses/update.xml Could not authenticate you. Unauthorized on line 229 in /var/www/vhosts/ionian-island.co.uk/httpdocs/forums/twitter.php
#0 /var/www/vhosts/ionian-island.co.uk/httpdocs/forums/twitter.php(648): Twitter->doCall('statuses/update...', Array, true)
#1 /var/www/vhosts/ionian-island.co.uk/httpdocs/forums/newthread.php(262) : eval()'d code(26): Twitter->updateStatus('test http://www...')
#2 /var/www/vhosts/ionian-island.co.uk/httpdocs/forums/newthread.php(262): eval()
#3 {main}

anyone know how to sort this...

Unauth errors are probably exactly that. Look into errors in your username and password for Twitter. Look earlier in the thread for some solutions people have found.

I am still unable to authenticate with bitly as well.

Oh well, screw this mod then if the person who made this doesn't even know what the problem with it is... Uninstalled.

Videx I know you most likely checked over a dozens times but I did to..frustrating.
Check that your have entered your bitfly API key correct and bitfly user name

Just replace the read txt with your User name and API key that bitfly generate

if ($useBitly) {
// http://classes.verkoyen.eu/bitly
require_once 'bitly.php';
$bitly = new Bitly('username', 'R_0d2dbc4294APIKEY054c303c8ac7');
$shortUrl = $bitly->shorten($shortUrl);
}

This modifcation is working like a charm and the traffic has spiked, too!! :D Great job on this!! :up:

Slight increase here , time will tell, approx 18 - 22 spiders hit the thread in just seconds when a new thread is posted. The sites could only benefit.

Double checked my twitter deatils at bitly and in PHP code all correct still getting following error message.

statuses/update.xml Could not authenticate you. Unauthorized on line 229 in /var/www/vhosts/ionian-island.co.uk/httpdocs/forums/twitter.php
#0 /var/www/vhosts/ionian-island.co.uk/httpdocs/forums/twitter.php(648): Twitter->doCall('statuses/update...', Array, true)

#2 /var/www/vhosts/ionian-island.co.uk/httpdocs/forums/newthread.php(262): eval()
#3 {main}

Could not find anything in previous threads i was clever enough to understand! regarding this problem....

is it possible to make it work for only articles from CMS portal ?

You would need to identify which hook is in the script that vBulletin is using to consume the RSS. This usually just means opening the .php file that is used to consume the RSS and then reading the code and looking for a line that says "hook" anywhere on it, and within that is usually the name of the hook.

Once identified the plugin can be used there too, and looking above the hook line will reveal what variables are in use that you can use in the plugin.

If other people are willing to work that bit out (I don't use that functionality) then I'm happy to publish it here too and give you credit so that it all sits in one place and people can get all the bits they want.


Apologies for not knowing jack about your server environment, software stack or configuration, etc.

I have provided a solution that works in a lot of instances and when it fails appears to be down to:
1) User details being wrong.
2) CURL not being installed.
3) JSON not being enabled.
4) Safe_Mode being used.

Check those things, you have knowledge of your environment (I hope) whereas I do not. Unfortunately I've not yet acquired the ability to telepathically converse with random servers around the world, but when I do I will sort your problems out for you.

It is the second step when you create the plugin, I had wrong to set the Hook, instead to choose Hook: newthread_post_complete, I had used Hook: replythread_post_complete.

Lol at that guy.

Is there a way to sneak in a re-tweat of popular threads every 24 hours or at a specific time frame? That would be extremely beneficial if it could be added in.

Same issue here... Looks like a great mod.

Can this be made into a product?

This mod is doing what it's supposed to, but for some reason some servers are failing to authenticate with Twitter, others get past that and can't authenticate with bitly (like my shared server).

Perhaps someone with a dedicated server can check their error logs and see just what's going on?

Perfect Mod, thanks !!! :)

Is there a way to tweet new posts, instead of just new threads?

I keep getting these SQL error emails from my server. Are these errors related to this plug-in??

I tagged this and most definitely plan to install it tomorrow.

I haven't had time to read all the posts here, but just my thoughts on what would be a great addition to this. If this could somehow be connected to separate user accounts, so that a member can have any new threads/posts they make attached to their personal Twitter account, I think it would go a very long way to attract attention to your forums.

Great work!
