I don't think it would work on our forum (a local community site). The users are barely able to understand the concept of email subscriptions. I seriously doubt many of them could handle some sort of Twitter client for that.

In my own case, It would work fine on my desktop where I have Trillian displaying tweets on my second monitor. But I rarely run Twitter when on mobile, so would be a huge fail compared to instant email notifications.

Well if you use something like VB Cerberus to split your forums up as is separate Twitter accounts are already being used. Hash tags just won't do it.

I'm sure this could be modified to do what I'm asking by someone.

Maybe, but this one hasn't worked at all in a long time and the coder isn't around any longer. Thank goodness he labeled it 'reusable code' before he left!

Personally, I would like to see any such mod also include Facebook posts. Right now it's way too difficult. I can't even begin to imagine how you would handle multiple accounts on FB or even if they allow it.

So with no updates does this still work? Or is there another mod?

If you read back you'll find that a few people have managed to hack the heck out of it and get it working. But there's an actual working and supported product at: WS vBulletin Tweet Poster

Had to disable this as it's not working on 4.2 patch 3

First error was require once file not found on line 29 newthread .php

Think I sorted that out, then I got an error about an unexpected T in Twitter.php on line2

Don't ever install a mod without reading the entire thread. Or at least the last few pages. In your case, you seemed to have even missed my post just two above yours!

I don't mind repeating myself for newbies (much). But as a coder you really should know better than to basically post "it doesn't work", especially for a mod that hasn't worked in ages.

If I can assume that as a coder you read this entire thread before installing, including my post immediately before yours, then you really need to post some more info about what you've done so far to get it working. The mod is marked as reusable, so you're welcome to try fixing it, but really your efforts might be better spent on a mod to post to Facebook right now.

Firstly where in your infinite wisdom do you see me posting "It Doesn't work" ?
Exactly, I never posted that, I simply posted the error i got and asked if anyone had any ideas

Secondly as a coder i made a couple of simple HTML edits which i shared with the community and which is why i got placed in the 'Coder' usergroup

Thirdly i do not want anything from my site posted to facebook as everything that gets posted on my twitter account gets automatically posted to my facebook account

Fourthly i have read every page and see some have no issues or have at least got it working, I do not wish to use the other mod as it is different to this

So in all of that, Please think before you reply
