Everything is set. Double checked. Even put forum id's in numerical order. Changed all instances because I also have Facebook Connect. Not using URL shortenening.

Only thing that may be possibe is my URL I used /forums on my twitter settings listed above. My front page is CMS no need for twitter.

And, still doesn't tweet buy provides no errors!!

This mod just doesn't work with the web host URLJet.

Everything is correct and no go. No errors but doesn't tweet.

Reminder, you should have now (or be in the process of) upgraded your site(s) to v4.0.003 of this hack.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Beginning on Tuesday 17th August 2010, Tweeter started slowly shutting down its Basic Authentication API service. This means that the rate limits on basic authentication API requests will be reduced by 15 calls/hour/day ending at 8am PDT on Tuesday 31st August 2010, at which point all sites that make basic authentication API requests will be served with a HTTP 401 error message. So, what it means to you and your site(s), is that if you don't do anything (ie you don't upgrade your site(s) to use use the OAuth version of the hack - v4.0.003 and above), you will recieve more frequent rate limit error messages as you approach 8am PDT on August 31st, and then all you will be getting is HTTP 401 error messages from then on and absolutely no tweets via v4.0.001 or v4.0.002 of this hack. See this announcement (countdown timer) by Twitter - http://countdowntooauth.com for more information.

Hi, Mosh

How can I disable a few forums to be included when vBulletin posts to twitter? I found "vBulletin2Twitter Enabled Forums" option but I have over 300 forum ids, its too difficult to add all ids to just disable 2 or 3 forums.

Is there an easy way?

Hi all,

This hack has now been updated to v4.0.004, and is now available to download for all vBulletin.org Hacks Support subscribers at Wolfshead Solutions.

This update fixes the time zone offset issue with new/quick replies being tweeted incorrectly.

It also adds the additional new features:

• AdminCP Options to also use the TinyURL and tli.td url shortening services
• Automatic check to see if tweet is longer than 140 characters or not (and post the tweet if it is not)
• Automatically truncate tweet title text in the tweet if the tweet (including the URL) exceeds 140 characters
• Automatic check to see if number of hourly calls to the Twitter OAuth API has been exceeded or not (and post the tweet if it has not)
• Ability to use vBulletin "Friendly URLs" (available in vBulletin 4 and later only) or just plain URLs
• All files needed for this hack in one package (no longer necessary to download other class files separately any more)

This version will be released unsupported here at vBulletin.org on Saturday 18th September 2010.

Regards,

Mosh Shigdar, Wolfshead Solutions.

Why unsupported? can we buy an license somewhere? dont see it at your website!

BTW, are there any options that RSS that my forum pulls in as news (threads) also are posted on twitter? Looks like they dont..

Read the Hack Support/Feature Requests section in the first post.
Read this post - http://www.wolfshead-solutions.com/t...etin.org-Hacks

As this hack tweets as the same time you create a new thread or reply, RSS is not covered .... you would have to use different file hooks.

Great mod, specially for those who want to sync their forums with Twitter and Facebook (only wish there was a similar mod for Facebook too).

Is there a possibility to add an option to disallow threads from a particular "usergroups" from being tweeted?

Currently, on our board, even threads started by spammers who are under "Awaiting e-mail confirmation" & "Awaiting Moderation" are getting onto twitter. Some of these links include adult content. We have prevented threads started by these users from showing up to usergroups other than the admins/moderators.

But with this mod, these links posted on our forun seem to be getting into our twitter board.

Any suggestions to prevent this are welcome and highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The obvious solution is to disallow these groups from posting threads. That's the way it is by default. Why did you ever allow it?

PS You can use Twitterfeed to post to Facebook if you don't have too many.

Work perfect, really nice mod ^^

EDIT: I am getting this error when i use bit.ly url shortering:

bla bla bla...

First time i had some errors with the safe_mode but i followed the code in the F.A.Q of this mod and solved that, but now i am getting this. And i asked to the hosting support and said me that the php have JSON support, so why i am having this problem?

Thanks.

What About Twitter's Link Service (http://t.co)

How can I use it with this mod?

I don't think you can. From http://support.twitter.com/entries/109623:

I had this working for a while and now it isn't working with the latest upgrade.

All my threads are being picked up by bit.ly, but not going to Twitter?

make sure you have upgraded to the OAuth version.

Going to try a complete reinstall.

I had much better luck this time, as v404 of the mod installed and worked beautifully right off. I didn't mess with bit.ly, but I tried both unshortened and is.gd.

Where can we down load the OAuth version

In the first post, the same as with any mods. Be sure to read the entire thread before you attempt to install, same as with any mod.

Doesn't have anything to do with your Host, you must not have a setting correct, it's working fine for me.

I have installed hundreds of plugins. this is the first one that I could not get to work. I give up and moving on.

Having "hundreds of plugins" in place is quite possibly your problem. I've only got maybe 20 add-ons and a lot of people consider that to be way too many.

But it's true - this one depends on a lot of server settings being just right. And now, with oauth, it depends on a somewhat complicated application process at Twitter.

Alas, the only alternative is something like Twitterfeed. But it has serious limitations.

Well i meant in the past not necessarily on my current forum which i don't have any plug ins at the moment. sorry for the confusion.

Installed this today and got it working, on one forum at least. My problem is I have a lot of forums on my board with some removed etc. So i have forum numbers running from 1 to 133 with many numbers missing from sections that were deleted etc.

I have only one forum I want excluded from tweets. Is there a short way to do this or do i really need to list every forum number I want included? Even if I could define ranges of numbers it would help.

tagged, hope to install tonight.

Yes please, needs an exclusion forum list badly. I only want to exclude my 4 admin forums, not the other 20. And the 4 admin forums won't change, like the inclusion list will.

Great Mod ... Thanks!

Question 1: How can I remove the "Re:" on the replies ...? I tried entering a 'space' which doesn't work. Is there a code I could use ... or an edit to the plug-in ...?

Question 2: How can I remove the "()" around the date in the reply. Again, I'm not very good with editing code ... so I need to know 'exactly' where to make the change.

Thanks All!

Excellent mod. Installed today when twitter basic quit working and broke my previous set up. This mod works perfectly.

Mosh, your work on this is much appreciated. Thank you very much.

I have tried everything and I cant get this to work

It worked for v4.0.002 all the way up til September 1st. I upgraded to v4.0.003 and it wont work

bit.ly works fine, its just not posting on twitter

cant get it to work either
i give it up \ i switched to twitterfeed

I also just changed after the old version stopped working. I followed all of the steps and didn't get any errors. Unfortunately it is just not working and because I don't get any errors with it, I don't know how I can check it. Maybe I should try upgrading VB to the latest version to see if that works.

It's not real easy to troubleshoot, because most of the errors are server errors which you won't even see on shared hosting.

Start by trying not to shorten - see if the Twit goes through. Then try shortening, and log into the shortening service and see if the twit actually got shortened. Armed with that data, maybe some will be able to get their hosts to figure it out.

I have tried this mod too. It is all set up correctly and the message gets to bit.ly but it just will not appear on Twitter. I also get no error messages. I have tried it with no shortening but it will not work.

See, with oauth, a failure after the shortener could mean that one or more of those 4 long strings are incorrect - Consumer key & secret, Access token & secret. I wonder if Twitter has any method of simply verifying these 4 items for you?

After the shortening is when the oauth php files run also. What version of PHP is your server running, and can you get your host to check for errors?

if i upload that config.php file in include folder .
isn't goona override that other vbconfig.php?

I'll be checking up on those thanks. I copied and pasted the keys and secrets etc. I might delete the Twitter app tomorrow and start from scratch.

I don't think there is a config.php file in this mod. Pay attention or you can cause serious wreckage of your forum.

There is a config file in the Abraham download. I nearly made this mistake but then realised I was only to upload one folder from this download.

i have installed everything correctly.
no error when post new thread..

but idk why its not tweeting to tweeter.

any idea?

Same for me on 4.0.5.

Followed the instructions to the letter, I was previously using the buro9 version with bit.ly working fine, I disabled that one and installed this one, got errors initially with bit.ly enabled, so disabled that but still no tweets :(.

I'm wondering if it's to do with the setting up of the oauth on twitter, there are no details about this in the install instructions.

There is some info in the instructions:Is everybody following that last step? I had to manually pass the first oauth tweet.
