yay :D

is there a way to tweet ALL forum Posts??

Or all posts from a certain fourm ID?

I'd like or not like this depending on the application. If you want to tweet new stuff coming in that's cool (done as a thread is posted) but to tweet an entire forum would be madness. And spam. Who would sift through that?

anyway to have a "forum" twitter ID and have a page set up to show it's twitter stream. Kind of like on twitter.com. Then the "forum" id would follow all the forum members and display them. So the members could see the stream of the forum twitter ID.

Not coded, but not a bad idea. I'll think about it!

Hey King,

Could you update the main mod description with a summary of the changes in version 1.0.3? That would be great.

Thanks!

How do I change the way that the post is made? Twitter says "check this out"! Also it is redirecting back to vbTwitter on vbulletin.org. why? how do I change that to point to the forum I posted from.

thanks for the fix! Works awesome!

Mykhall: Every tweet includes a source parameter, so it adds a link that says "vBTwitter" that links here. There should be another link...

Teresa, first post on the first page in the changelog.

I don't want it to redirect here. That's a problem actually. It will confuse my visitors. I want it to redirect to my site and I want to change the "Check this out" to the title of the actual post.My visitors are everyday users...not administrators.

I plan on tweeting a lot per day from my forum. I don't want people reading messages saying "Check this out". It won't interest them. But if it includes the forum title. that makes sense.

The message is phrased, you could definitely work the title in there through custom code... The vBTwitter link won't disappear. My application appears just like any other twitter app's would. TweetDeck, Tweetie, you name it. Users of Twitter should be familiar with this.

How many of the files are actually needed in this zip?

All of them are needed and used.

__MACOSX
.DS_Store
.svn

Are needed?

Clicking Tweet This Post simply refreshes the page. and it's a slow refresh like something wants to work but doesn't. No error, no message. FireFox and IE7 act the same.

No. Might I just say, I really hate invisible files. Don't show up on my computer (except under transmit) and I always forget they are there. Ignore them!

Can you view source and tell me what the tweet this post links to? I have seen it done using 1.0.3...

Here you go. Left some extra in there so you know where it's at.

I try to keep custom development to a minimum. It makes upgrades a pain.
You don't see an advantage to making an option for the thread title to be put in the "tweet"?

Changing Phrases is not realy custom development and will not make problems with updating;)

Infopro, you have THAT and it is reloading? Mind sending me a PM so I can look into it?

Mykkal, v1.0.x is not feature updates. Who knows, maybe it'll show in v1.1.0.

touche...I'm just making the case for a feature that most vBtwitter users would use.

The custom development is therein:

Making an option in the vBulletin control panel to change the "check this out" phrase into something custom will require updating the script to do so.

Of course I could just change it in the source code but that's dangerous and inefficient.

It's dangerous because why would any admin want to edit source code to customize a phrase regularly?

Plus...it's that kind of feature that makes something popular into something very phenomenal.

King... Thanks for everything so far. I understand if you're frustrated with me. Users are never satisfied and always want new features. heh :)

Actually, the source code changes would add 4-5 lines, plus a single phrase, and a new link variable. I know the code in my mind. :) It's a relatively simple modification.

I have the same problem, how do I correct this please ?

The username-and-password-authentication-failure still happens with the new version. I severely checked my twitter-login-data, they are working within twitter itself.

can i delete .svn folders? or are they needed?

Works for me though...

Mine now works but I get this error message across the top of the redirection screen right after it.

Warning: mcrypt_decrypt() [function.mcrypt-decrypt]: The IV parameter must be as long as the blocksize in [path]\tweet.php on line 9

Any idea why that might be?

Cheers

I'm sorry but my forums are not open to the public at this point.

I read earlier in this thread that this was being tested so I waited for your release. Apparently the testers need some testing too.


King Kovifor, how about if you remove all the garbage from your zip file so people can get confused over this thing not working without the added confusion of garbage files no one needs?

I like trying stuff from vb.org but I'm not here to work on other coders bugs. Those should be worked on and hopefully solved before a new post is made offering it to the masses.

This clearly was not tested enough by those who have.

On the other hand, I have stolen some hilarious gif images posted to this thread for use in other threads. So I'm ahead at this point. ;)

How exciting this all seemed only days ago...

get this error:

Call to undefined function mcrypt_get_iv_size() in /var/www/htm/profile.php(2155) : eval()'d code on line 16

With all due respect to the coder, please take my comments as intended and not as a personal attack against you or the vbTwitter mod - but really, what's the point?

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.

Lima Bean

Hm. Are you sure you uploaded the new tweet.php?

Yes. They are invisible on my computer and snuck their way in.

Update your password, it should have an IV parameter stored with it.

Personally, I have it installed on 3 beta testing sites, and they all worked perfectly. With the code you gave me, it should not be doing what it is, hence the reason I asked to see the forum.

I haven't had the time to sit down and remove them. They slipped in as they are invisible on my computer.

Your problem is unique, and the only one I've seen like it. If your problem is the only one that happens, it is impossible for a coder to predict and fix it.

You don't have mcrypt installed.

I get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in twitter.php on line 29

[high]* smnet is waiting for 1.1 :)[/high]

Can you be a bit clearer? Do you mean change it? Not sure what you mean by "update your password"

Cheers.

Yep, I?m sure. Here is the procedure I tried recently. I wiped out the username and password, saved the changes. I added the username and password, saved the changes to no success. I overwrote all files on the servers and re-imported the 1.03-version. To no success.

Then - I?m on the Mac-side - I tried out the program "Twitterific" and this prog gave me an alert about my password, warning me about an incompatibility with the twitter-api, cause my password contained non-alphanumeric characters. I changed the password to contain only alphanumeric characters and now all is working like a charm! :)

But I had to add a template-edit manually to get the "Tweet this post"-link working. I?m using the Template Modification System within the postbit too, maybe this prevented the link to show up.

Sorry for causing the confusion! But to my exoneration the twitter-browser-site accepts and works with non-alphanumeric-characters within the password, so I didn?t suspect any issues so far.

Thank you for this neat addon! :) Clicked Installed.

Hm. I will see about looking into that tomorrow.

All you need to do is edit your options, and just retype your password. If it was stored without an IV, it won't be able to decrypt. Upon changing your password, it'll update and store the required variables with your password. :)

Glad you figured it out. :)

Hey can you tell me the code for making the "tweettpopup" and what file and where you put it int the file? Thanks for the help!

BTW what do you mean everything will work w/ ajax?? Thanks

Sorry, but the tweet pop up will not appear until v1.1 is released. It requires significant code changes and additions to what is in v1.0.x. For this reason, it will not be "pre-released" as an individual feature to v1.0.x. And here's an AJAX screencast:

Notice the time stamp doesn't change. ;) (Cause there is NO reload!)
