New Posting Features - [DBTech] Tweet Poster v1 (vB4)

Instantly share new threads posted in select forums to Twitter with this nifty modification. Supports adding hash tags and automatically trims your thread titles to fit within the 140 character limit.

Why use Tweet Poster?

Tweet Poster allows your users to stay up to date with your forums' news even while they're not at the computer, by having new threads posted in certain forums automatically post to your Twitter feed.
Additionally, search engines tend to prioritise links found on social media websites.

You can also optionally append hash tags to your automatic tweets, further increasing your exposure by making sure your tweets show up in searches for specific trends.

When a new Thread is created the Twitter post creates this text for the link: http://www.vBulletin-site.com/showthread.php?t=x

It is possible this text to be the Thread link text instead? Would look much better SEO-wise.

We'll look into it for a future version

just installed. Tried test new thread and nothing happened over on our twitter. Also received no errors. can you advise?

I see this is for auto posting to twitter. I am looking for a twitter plug in similar to the facebook that has a "like" or "post to" similar to how Face book works and not automatically post to twitter when you make a new post or thread. Am I making sense?

I want to click on a twitter button to tweet just that particular post I want to tweet out.

Will this do that and if not can someone pointy me to a current one that will work with the twitter updates. I have read on some that the hack stopped working.

Oh and I am running 4.2.2 and fixing to upgrade to 5.0 Please advise if there is something that is available that I am looking for.

Make sure you have followed the steps to create an app on your Twitter account, and given it permission to post new tweets.

Our DragonByte SEO product has social sharing features, but if you're not looking for URL rewrites as well, it may be overkill for your needs. BOP5 has a mod dedicated to social sharing, though I don't recall the name of it just now.

Anyone know where this is? I did a search and found nothing. Most everything I have looked at in the mods say it wont work with 4.2.2 or is not what I am looking for. Any one up to the task of creating it?

Oh I did find one the maybe will work but you have to use that tiny url service and that is something else I am not fond of.

Hey!

First of all, great mod - have been using it for a while on a news website and it works perfectly with twitter.

I was wondering - would it be possible to limit this to specific users? that only when they post a message it will be tweeted?

Could be of enormous use... thanks!

How do I include prefixes for tweeting?

Hey Fillip,

a little bird sang me a song this morning, there would be a facebookPoster v0.x in the pipe. Any chance to get an ETA on that? Such a poster would be something I (almost) would kill for
