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.

Oups.... :erm:

A little WARNING:
this mod posts everything to twitter - unfortunal moderated posts, too. Especially when you have tpearls mod Advanced Guest Posting and Registration (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=312323) installed - that holds tons of spampostings in the moderation queue unless they become deleted by the built in routine -, they?ll be posted to twitter in realtime. You can only stop that by deactivating the twitterposter-mod, until DBTech is solving that problem.

Fillip, please have a look into this asap, that posts in moderation queue are ignored for posting to twitter.

@DragonByte Tech Plugin is not working out of the box for me ...

Since our previous plugin 'WS vBulletin Tweet Poster' stopped posting about a month ago (still don't know why, even created new twitter app to test) I decided to switch to this one.

Downloaded, installed & configured version 1.0.1.
But after creating a first new thread in one of the subfora that was enabled in this plugin,
I immediately get a blank page saying "Invalid Response."

No idea what went wrong, also no entry in the httpd error logs.
Anyone any clue?
Thanks!

I have the same Problem.

We have no plans on creating a Facebook Poster mod.

This mod is only intended to be enabled for News forums, which should be restricted to your staff & editorial news groups. Additionally, this mod already does exclude threads that are flagged as under moderation. If you have an automated spam-detection script, it's likely this script runs after our mod, which is outside our control.

I would recommend restricting this mod to your News section, and close the News section off from guests & unauthorised users

Have you set up the app with Twitter? You can't use the same app credentials as were used for other apps.

Yes, created a new app for it, with it's own API keys etc ...

Do you think that the "Invalid Response." comes from your plugin, or from Twitter? Any idea how I can debug this?

Thanks!

My issue is that if someone posts something above 140 characters for a thread title they get a warning about that. This confuses users and then they resubmit the thread. Is there a way to eliminate this message from appearing?

[DragonByte Tech]

What does the warning say?

Getting an error when I post, not sure if this is affecting others:

Fatal error: Class 'DBSEO_Url_Create' not found in XXXXXXXXXXXXXX/dbtech/tweetposter/hooks/threadfpdata_postsave.php on line 74

[DragonByte Tech]

You need to update DBSEO to the latest version.

Thanks. Well that sucks, didn't want to have to buy SEO again... Looks like I'm not using this mod...
