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!

Thank you.

p.s. would it be possible to have the tweeter update with "check this out > title of the post" other than just check this out?

itsbobtista · #**103** 02-17-2009, 02:24 AM

Ack, I am getting that mcrypt error too. Any tips on where to find the phpinfo file?
(nevermind, I am good)

Still having an issue with my issue that I mentioned before. Screenshot attached

Any suggestions on what it could be ?

Thank you

Can you add this to the registration page to? So new members can fill it in?

Go down to the Maintenance menu in the AdminCP and select View PHP Info

Then look to see if the mcrypt php module is loaded. If you don't see it (hit CTRL + f to run a quick search) then contact your hosting company and ask if they will add that PHP module.

http://us.php.net/mcrypt is a good resource if you have to do it yourself or provide a link to your hosting company to help clarify your request.

The developer is aware of this issue. It's being worked on. In the meantime... what theme are you using? It looks nice!
