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.

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.

Hi Fillip,

I think I found the problem, it seems that the Instant New Thread Notification plugin, when activated with the Tweet plugin, will only redirect to the created topic when it finishes sending the email notifications to all subscribed users. This could take some time when there are a lot of subscribed users.

Since there's no more support in the INTN plugin (it is Re-usable Code now), there's something that could be done so it releases the topic before the process of sending the emails?

This is exactly the reason why instant thread notifications are not implemented in vBulletin, so unfortunately there's nothing that I can see that can be done

In either case, this isn't the correct thread to discuss that mod

I understand, anyway, thank you very much, hope someone could take the development of that plugin.

On a side note, this latest version of the Tweet Poster solved something that plagued other plugins in the past: an incompatibility issue with twitter and topics with accentuation in the titles that prevent them to be tweeted. This is working now =)

Would love to have something like this for Facebook too
