The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

vBTwitter · **Released**: 02-08-2009

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.

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!

Honestly, I don't think he's going to be release it. Its been the better part of a year now since I first heard mention of this.

Maybe he doesn't have time...But it obviously ain't gonna happen.
No answer has been realistic. Now i'm not getting answers at all...

I'm sorry that I don't have time to be on here 24/7 to answer questions. My time for the past few months has been school -> home -> homework -> work -> bed. So, yeah, I don't have time to sit down and develop this to your standards. Its FREE! And v1.1 has about 10x more features planned than v1.0 would ever have had, so it takes more time.

You've been telling me a "wait a few weeks" for a year.

What good is free when i'm getting older waiting on a beta?

Everyone gets older waiting for everything. What's the point in applying to a school, when I get older waiting for a reply? A job? A paycheck? The difference is this isn't my entire life. I don't spend every minute of every day on my computer developing.

ok so during all of these replies... What is so wrong with clarifying when your release will be... which you've told me was immient since last February?

For some reason my question seems unreasonable to you. I don't get that.

King Kovifor · #**648** 11-08-2009, 07:01 PM

Clarifying the release? What's to clarify except that it's not ready.

Guys this is funny. Watch for this posting to be deleted.

A while back I asked King if there was a immediate release of VBtwitter coming. He told me not worry 1.1 was around the corner. A few months later I asked again just cause I was willing to invest in the product myself. Being that he was on a school break he said he was working on a release to be made.

lol...Almost a year from the original question I asked again, politely, like I always do. His reply to me is in the quote above.

lol... dude really, i'm just asking if your going to do it because you've been working on it a year. Microsoft built a brand new extra complicated OS called windows 7 (beta) from scratch in that time.

My point is:
1. Why give an expectation? And if you aren't gung ho about developing it anymore just say so and move on. You did such a good job with the first release many have refused to delevop it because everyone is waiting on your next release.

2. if your working on something for a year and getting no where maybe ask for help. if you've actually been "working" on it.

3. Its free. Why be a jerk about it when a simple question is posed. You set the expectation it would be there. Not any of us.

4. I've noticed the number of installs decreasing or staying stagnant over time. Just saying...

I only want a simple answer. Are you still developing and if so when is a realistic release date? If not can we continue to develop your mod independently of you.

I've been asking the latter since April...

Your "polite" replies have always been sarcastic and demanding. That's all I will say on that subject. Now, to comparing the amount of time it has taken me to developing this to Windows 7 is rather unfair. Microsoft has thousands of developers working 8 hour days, 5 days a week to develop the software. There's 1. Who can only devote at max, 2 hours a day to finishing this problem.

1. It will be released. I set the expectation and fail on it because of my life currently. My life isn't all peachy keen right now, and it's really hard for me to focus on school, let alone on anything else.

2. Who says I'm "stuck"? I only said that I lost my AJAX developer, so AJAX may not come to vBTwitter in v1.1.

3. The "simple" question has been posted several times by you, and the same answer has been given each and every time.

4. I don't care about number of installs. If only 1 person used my product, it would make me happy that one person has been helped by this program. Installs don't matter in my book.

Yes, I'm still developing it. A realistic release date? Within the next 200 years should cover it. Set the expectation realistic enough for you?
