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!
I'm getting this when I try to tweet a thread/post:
We're sorry, but the Username and Password provided within your User CP could not be authenticated. Please modify either your Username or Password to match your current Twitter Username / Password and try again.
I have looked in vb-user table, but there is no columns "twitter_password", "twitter_username"...
If there are none, please uninstall and reinstall.

But if your plugin doesn't do that then I reckon I can just insert the Javascript for this somewhere. Can't be that difficult.
Can you change the twitter_checkout phrase to be the subject line of the topic instead of "check this out" (or whatever custom entry you make it)? I'm not sure what the variable would be called.
Uinstalled, reinstalled still the same... Now I have all tables, but can't save the password... when I look into the twitter_password table there is only one letter (ũ). I tried to make MD5 encrypted password with Password Generator, but with no succes...
Any idea?

I just got this dreaded message again. Things were going great for the last 160 Tweets or so until just today. I haven't installed any other mods, so I'm wondering if Twitter has changed something. I'll kick the tires on my site a little but it's strange how it just suddenly stopped working. I'll update this post if I find a reason for the problem.
Which is NOT right... Hm... Reupload files and try again?
I have reuploaded files, but it's still the same, can't save the password...
Again, a few more tries, reinstall product, uninstall, install, reupload... still the same... can't save the password...
