Works for me without an issue and im on 4.2.0 so honestly no i would have to disagree.

I know. It was a little sarcasm. Videx seems to have a strong distaste with this mod (and maybe for people like me that don't read all 40 pages of the thread).

Hey mairving I encountered the same problem at first! The solution is that in the array you need to break up the numbers.

I.e. instead of "1,2,3,4"

it should be "1, 2, 3, 4"

That fixed it for me.

I tried this with my 4.2.0-board. It didn't work, the bit.ly-thing threw out errors. After fixing that the twitter-thing threw out other and more complicated errors. I tried to fix it and I got it working. But many changes were needed. I try to tell you:

At first, don't use the attached bitly.php. Use the linked one in the first posting. Or take this link:
http://classes.verkoyen.eu/bitly
unzip it, place it in the forum-root

Second: the twitter-API only accepts oAuth now, no basic username/password authentication anymore. So you have to use the new twitter.php. Don't use the one attached to the first posting. And don't use the one linked in the first posting. Use this one instead: http://classes.verkoyen.eu/twitter_oauth
unzip it. Don't place it in the forum root now! We have to edit it!

Now you have to get a legacy-API-key from bit.ly: https://bitly.com/a/settings/advanced
And you need oAuth-data from twitter. Use this link: https://dev.twitter.com/ then click on "my applications" in the menu on the upper right. Click on "create new application" and enter your data. (you don't need to enter a callback-url) Then your app is created. Click on "settings" and then switch to "Read, Write and Access direct messages". Update application settings. Go back on the "details"-tab and click on "create my access-token". Go to tab "oAuth tool" You will see four keys now. You need all of them. Open your twitter.php, search for "private $oAuthToken = ' ';" Place the "Access token" here. Then search for "private $oAuthTokenSecret = ' ';" Place your "Aceess token secret" between the ' ' here. Now save the file and upload it to your forum root. The other two codes (consumer key, consumer secret) are needed in the plugin-script, see below.

Go to plugin-manager and create a new plugin:
vBulletin
newthread_post_complete
Tweet to Twitter

Now use the following code
If you want to exclude some forums, edit this line:
$excludedForums = array(1, 2);
and place the forum-ids between the brackets. use array() if you don't want to exclude any forums.

this line:
$shortUrl = 'http://yourURLhere.com/showthread.php?t='.$newpost[threadid];
change "YourURLhere.com" to your forum-URL.

In this line:
$bitly = new Bitly('username', 'API_key');
you have to put in your bit.ly-username and the generated API-key.

And in this line:
$twitter = new Twitter('consumer-key','consumer-secret');
you have to put in the consumer-key and the consumer-secret from the twitter o-auth-tool.


Save and activate it. This worked for me :-) No curl-erros anymore, no "unauthorized access" errors anymore, no .... errors, just working :)

cuco88 thanks in advance for your post, but i've followed all your steps and ends up with this kind of message:

------WebKitFormBoundary*******************--

why is that?

**im using vb4.2

Where do you get this message? Does the forum work or do you only get this message?

And does the plugin do anything? Is there a shortened link when you login to your bit.ly-account? Is there a tweet on Twitter?

If found a bug in the Twitter.php when using Unicode values with more than 1 byte, I have an easy fix for that, but I don't think this is the problem. Or are you using non english characters? Like ä ö ü é â, ...?

Right afer I submitted new thread. It just shows these lines and blank white screen.

The thread submitted correctly, but there's nothing new appears on bitly or twitter.

I not using non-english character either. I just copy-pasted the cde, that's all.

Looks like a problem with JSON. This can happen with the bitly.php. Try set
$useBitly = true;
to
$useBitly = false;

first time I encountered this error, it was the bitly disabled. then I enabled it, still the same message. Is it the hosting configuration?

The problem is you're trying to use a mod that hasn't worked in a long time. Presumably because you neglected to read back a few posts and discover this fact. This is vital, especially when you can see from post #1 that the author hasn't been around for ages.

You can keep playing around trying to get this one to work, or you can just go use one that does: WS vBulletin Tweet Poster
