[DBTech] Tweet Poster v1 (vB4) · **Released**: 08-02-2013

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.

Hi,

thanks for the response, but, I'll not upgrade my forum so soon (templates issues). There's nothing that could be done?

EDIT: You may be able to add the feature to your vB version by editing /includes/adminfunctions_options.php, I'll download 4.0.8 and see if I can find the changes needed.

EDIT 2: Find:

PHP Code:


			
        // just a label
        default:
        {
            $handled = false;
            ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('admin_options_print')) ? eval($hook) : false;
            if (!$handled)
            {
                eval("\$right = \"<div id=\\\"ctrl_setting[$setting[varname]]\\\">$setting[optioncode]</div>\";");
                print_label_row($description, $right, '', 'top', $name, 50);
            }
        }

Add above

PHP Code:


			
        case 'forums:all':
        {
            $array = construct_forum_chooser_options(-1,$vbphrase['all']);
            $size = sizeof($array);

            $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting] = $vbphrase[closed];
            print_select_row($description, $name.'[]', $array, unserialize($setting['value']), false, ($size > 10 ? 10 : $size), true);
        }
        break;

        case 'forums:none':
        {
            $array = construct_forum_chooser_options(0,$vbphrase['none']);
            $size = sizeof($array);

            $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting] = $vbphrase[closed];
            print_select_row($description, $name.'[]', $array, unserialize($setting['value']), false, ($size > 10 ? 10 : $size), true);
        }
        break;

Find

PHP Code:


			
                else if (preg_match('#^usergroup:[0-9]+$#', $oldsetting['optioncode']))
                {
                    // serialize the array of usergroup inputs
                    if (!is_array($settings["$oldsetting[varname]"]))
                    {
                         $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"] = array();
                    }
                    $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"] = array_map('intval', $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"]);
                    $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"] = serialize($settings["$oldsetting[varname]"]);
                }

Replace with

PHP Code:


			
                else if (preg_match('#^(usergroup|forum)s?:([0-9]+|all|none)$#', $oldsetting['optioncode']))
                {
                    // serialize the array of usergroup inputs
                    if (!is_array($settings["$oldsetting[varname]"]))
                    {
                         $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"] = array();
                    }
                    $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"] = array_map('intval', $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"]);
                    $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"] = serialize($settings["$oldsetting[varname]"]);
                }

This may or may not work and is entirely untested / unsupported!

I gave you what i know.Even server log info.If that didn't help then the mod needs to be re-visited.You left out few important feature that you should have posted that others should look into when installing the this mod

* Make sure that the server is running json
* Make sure server is running Curl and openssl is enable

When in twitter dev console make sure to enable read/write feature is selected.Because in read option.It will not allow your post to show up in Twitter.And that what i explained when nothing was showing up in twitter when i did a test post.

Good Luck and Have a Great Day !!!!

Unfortunately that's not how it works

You left multiple questions un-answered, including follow-up questions to your response.

If we had been unable to resolve your issue remotely, I would have offered to visit your site and look into it there

I was unaware that there existed servers without these features enabled. I will look into adding pre-install checks to ensure these features are available before the modification will install

This is already explained in the installation instructions (Section 4, Step 4-5)

Thank you Fillip, it worked =)

Unfortunately the plugin is not compatible with Instant New Thread Notification. As soon as INTN is activated, after submitting a new thread that will be tweeted, it'll be created, tweeted and instantly notified. But there is no redirect to the created thread, the screen will simply hang on in the thread form screen.

Since there's no more support to the other mod (the code is re-usable), there's anything that could be done to solve this?

DragonByte Tech · #17 08-07-2013, 11:35 PM

I cannot download that modification to test it so I couldn't say, sorry

There are no files attached to that modification.

Sorry, this is the right link.

The code from that modification runs after all Tweet Poster code (as you yourself attest to) so if that mod disables the redirect then that's something you should take up with the author of that modification.

If you have display_errors set to On in your php.ini you may be able to tell if there's any PHP errors preventing the redirect.
