Description

This modification adds basic Twitter integration to vBulletin. Once a user defines their Twitter username & password within their vB Options (User CP -> Edit Options), the Tweet This X links will appear.

It automatically adds a tweet to their account with the default text of "Check this out! " (which can be edited editing the "twitter_checkout" phrase) and uses your forum URL with either tp or tt.php as the link. These redirect to the thread / post that was tweeted.

Installation
  1. Upload files in the /upload/ folder of the .zip into the directories as is.
  2. Install product file.
  3. Register an OAuth Application here, using:
  4. Click Install on vB.org
  5. Tell Your users.
  6. Enjoy
Upgrading to v1.0.4
  • Upload all files, overwrite everything.
  • Install product file.
  • Register an OAuth Application here, using:
  • Gain and copy the Consumer Key & Secret into vBulletin Options.
Upgrading to v1.0.3 or before.
  • Upload all files, overwrite everything.
  • install product file.
  • Remove template edits. For the record, they are here:
    • Open the postbit or postbit_legacy template (depending on what you use). Find:
      HTML Code:
      <if condition="$show['postcount']">#<a href="showpost.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]&amp;postcount=$post[postcount]" target="new" rel="nofollow" id="postcount$post[postid]" name="$post[postcount]"><strong>$post[postcount]</strong></a></if>
      Add before that:
      HTML Code:
      <if condition="$post['twitter_username']"><a href="tweet.php?do=post&amp;id=$post[postid]&amp;c=$post[postid]">Tweet this post!</a></if>
    • Open the SHOWTHREAD template.
      Find:
      HTML Code:
      	<if condition="$show['addpoll']">
      	<tr>
      		<td class="vbmenu_option"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/addpoll.gif" alt="$vbphrase[add_a_poll]" /> <a href="poll.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpoll&amp;t=$threadinfo[threadid]">$vbphrase[add_a_poll_to_this_thread]</a></td>
      	</tr>
      	</if>
      Add After:
      HTML Code:
      	<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['twitter_username']">
      	<tr>
      		<td class="vbmenu_option">
      			<a href="tweet.php?do=thread&ampid=$threadinfo[threadid]">Tweet This  Thread!</a>
      		</td>
      	</tr>
      	</if>
      Find:
      HTML Code:
      		<if condition="!$show['search_engine']">
      
      			<div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/printer.gif" alt="$vbphrase[show_printable_version]" vspace="1" /> <a href="printthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$threadid" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[show_printable_version]</a></div>
      			<div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/sendtofriend.gif" alt="$vbphrase[email_this_page]" vspace="1" /> <a href="sendmessage.php?$session[sessionurl]do=sendtofriend&amp;t=$threadid" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[email_this_page]</a></div>
      		</if>
      Add After:
      HTML Code:
      		<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['twitter_username']"><a href="tweet.php?do=thread&amp;id=$threadinfo[threadid]">Tweet This  Thread!</a></if>
Requirements

THIS MODIFICATION REQUIRES PHP 5 DUE TO THE CLASS THAT IS USED!

PHP'S CURL EXTENSION IS ALSO USED! THE API CALLS ARE COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON THEM!


This modification should work on vBulletin v3.5+, but was only tested on a vB 3.8 install.

Using the "tp.php" switch added in v1.0.2

With the release of v1.0.2, a switch between showpost.php?p=ID&postcount=COUNT and showthread.php?p=ID#postID has been added. Using it is simple, but requires a code edit (Note: This is a SUPPORTED code edit!). Open up tp.php and find this line:

PHP Code:
define('SHOWPOST'true); 
Change that line to this:

PHP Code:
define('SHOWPOST'false); 

This will automatically trigger the change any time it is loaded. This works retroactively and any links will automatically use the new settings once changed!

That's awesome. I can't wait. I think this has to be one of the most useful mods I have installed to date. Right now I'm the main one using it, but I'm getting a couple unique visitors every day as a direct result of tweeting threads.

You MUST fill in the login on the redirect, then 'retweet' the one you want. There is no way around this. And please use the forums.
You mean login when it asks you to login after tweeting the thread? I've done that it then it takes me to my Twitter account and still nothing.

Hello Jeremy and everybody...

I've had this mod installed at http://wlsjourney.org for some months now. For some odd reason it has stopped working. The links show as you can see here... Could there be some conflict with this mod and Tweetboard perhaps? IDK what the issue is really - any ideas?

Thanks,

Jacquii.

Yes, it is perfectly plausible the two do not play nice, but I don't use either for me to test it out right this second.

Michael, I believe that problem comes up because you're not using PHP5. I got that error too before I started using PHP5.

I'm trying to set up my Twitter settings through the UCP, I go to Edit Options and click on 'Setup integration by clicking here.' This takes me to a twiiter page (https://twitter.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=) that says

'This page is no longer valid. It looks like someone already used the token information you provided. Please return to the site that sent you to this page and try again … it was probably an honest mistake.'

I'm assuming I'm getting this error because there's no oauth_token provided? But I don't know how to resolve the problem. I've created OAuth Application and everything (though I don't know if I need to provide my consumer key/secret in the ACP for it work?) Thanks for the help.

King,

did you ever release the patch that will allow us to change the "check this out" to the title of the forum?

I'm curious. Been waiting a year and I last remember you said a new version that would have this would be released. But the last version I have is only an authentication update.

Please let me know. If its not gong to be soon i will see about getting it developed. But you've always said it would be released within weeks.

So where is version 1.1?
