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!

Hilarious!

Actually your responses got more vague over time. I hope your life does get much more manageable for you.

But yea you did set some expectations and if people are taking you at your word at least tell us whats up before we have to ask you.

or if your giving updates... maybe put them in the first portion of the thread because this entire communication is too long to read entirely.

its not like people don't want what you have and I have even offered to pay for it to make it worthy of your time.

you've been pretty much a jerk about this subject.

I'm the "bad guy", so sorry to everybody using this add-on and waiting for the new version

I was the co-developer and working on the javascript/ajax part, but i stopped the work because i decidet to switch to ipb because i was not happy with all the "bad news" about vB4 and i thought, that i will switch all my boards to ipb.

wow. The third "well-known" (as far as I'm concerned) that has given such feedback regarding vBulletin. And I just have to ask ((sorry for the off-topic in advance - but curious mind(s) want to know...)) -- How's IPB working out for you? Feel free to PM me. Thanks

Jacquii.

ragtek · #**656** 11-19-2009, 12:59 AM

[ot]As you see, i'm back and active in the vB scene

ipb is a very good product, but i decided to stay with vb and to give "vbulletin solutions" a chance, because it would be too much work, to rewrite all my custom stuff(my boards are very heavy modded^^) into the ipb "framework"
also my member "killed" my, as they read that i will switch the forumsoftware, they don't wanted something new...

sorry for offtopic^^[/ot]

Glad to know - I've been part of the vB scene for a minute or two and know the caliber of your work ==> I'm glad to know that you are addicted to vB

and also that your opinion of IPB is very good as well... Thanks ^.^

Jacquii.

That's what they all say - but I'll always remain of the concept that my eyeballs will show me better than they can tell me

Jacquii.

It's true. If he expresses interest in wanting to come back, he is more than welcome to.

When I added this mod none of the
LinkBack Thread Tools Display Modes will expand.

Example is here.

Beatthecasino.com/bb click on any thread.
Any ideas?
