vBulletin 2 Twitter - Take Your News Straight To Twitter!
Developer Last Online: Jul 2012 
vBulletin2 Twitter Courtesy A Health Forum http://ahealthforum.com
Special Thanks to Jarvis From http://seovb.com for help vbtotwitt.php copyright Vojtech Semecky released under the terms of GPL =========================================================== This modification will take one of your latest news threads and post it directly to your twitter account. You must have RSS enabled for this modification to work. You can specify a forum to pull the content from using external.php?f=FORUMID The RSS feed will post your thread title directly into your Twitter account, and then create a link back using TinyURL. The links are automatically converted into tinyurl.com links via the TinyURL API Install instructions 1. Upload the includes folder into your forum root. This will automatically place the 2 scripts need to operate this into the "includes/cron/" folder 2. Install the product-ahealthforumcomvbtwit.xml file via the Product Manager in your adminCP 3. Navigate to vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> vBulletin 2 Twitter and enter your name and password. 4. Hit Save and Wait 2 minutes 5. View your twitter account to confirm that an update was posted. 6. Enter the URL to your forum feed. Notice: By default for testing purposes this makes one tweet announcing you've installed vB2Twitter You are free to delete this tweet as it is for testing purposes only!!!! =============================================================== vBulletin 2 Twitter Options 1. Twitter Username: This is your Twitter.com username. If you don't have one yet, you can get one for free at http://twitter.com 2. Twitter Password: This is your password for your twitter account. Notice that its not hashed or encypted so anyone with adminCP access can view it. If you can't trust those who have your AdminCP information with such details, then this mod isn't for you sorry. 3. Feed URL: This can be to any sites feed if you want, but I suggest pointing it to your news forum and creating a prefix such as [Breaking News] to make the most of this. Your twitter posts will then be prefixed with [Breaking News] Thread Title link to thread. ============================================================= Again, this modification will take the latest thread from the forum RSS feed you specify. I don't beleive in spamming on twitter with useless crap, so I've made this modification to only take one thread at a time from your forums RSS feed. Trouble Shooting: If it does not automatically update to your account. Go into the scheduled tasks manage and run the task manually. external.php gives a blank page. Enable RSS from your vBulletin Admin Control Panel. Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information. Show Your Support

One more question, using on a different site than mentioned above. If I manually run it from scheduled tasks it works. If I don't, it never pulls the feed on it's own. Any thoughts?

You could also try to edit the cron times so it only runs once every 10 minutes or so rather then once a minute. No members have liked this post.

I would rather use this mod than twitterfeed because I don't trust anyone with our twitter login details.
However, I would like it to check for new posts in several of our news forums every hour and post them to twitter. We would end up with maybe one new twitter update every couple of days tops, so it wouldn't be spamming. If your mod can take the new posts from several forums and not create duplicate twitter updates, I would install it. I appreciate the mod does what you need so you're not particularly motivated to amend it. But a simple table of posted thread ids would prevent duplicates. Thanks.
