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.
Installation
Upload files in the /upload/ folder of the .zip into the directories as is.
<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['twitter_username']"><a href="tweet.php?do=thread&id=$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!
Just a Hint - if you make a Profilebox in 1.1 - it just seems to be one or two Lines of Code to integrate the Statistic to the Head of it. There was another Mod here on vb.org that does this. Maybe you can get some ideas from it who to use the Twitter-API for this.
For those of you with live topic: What problems are you having? Showing up at all, or with the new posts?
I installed the live topic mod after this one. This mod works fine, even with Live Topic. However, the Live Topic gives a browser error whenever someone posts a reply and the reply is not showing up. I disabled Live Topic for now 'till there is a fix. I have posted a ticket on the board of the Live Topic coder too. Just thought you might wanna know what I came across
Love this mod, can't wait for the next version.
