Tweet this topic and/or post

[tumba25]

This was originally posted by Kenny at 6 String MODs, I rewrote the codes and separated them to three posts. The first contains code used by both topic and post tweets. The second is for tweeting topics and the third for tweeting posts.

This thing is submitted to the MODDB at http://www.phpbb.com for validation.

Twitter seems to be getting more popular and I myself have found myself delving into the api's a few times already. This little snippet is a request from [url=http://www.phpbb.com/community/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=880575]andrew55[/url] in [url=http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=1486425]this topic[/url] on phpbb.com.

Simple enough - as per the topic title, this snippet allows you to tweet this topic. If you're not logged in when you click the link, simply log in and you'll redirected with the tweet still kept (not done by me, you can thank twitter devs for that

For a demo, check these very forums. I have it here ^_^

OPEN: viewtopic.php
FIND:

Code: Select all

$voted_id = (sizeof($voted_id) > 1) ? array_unique($voted_id) : $voted_id;     

ADD AFTER:

Code: Select all

if ($auth->acl_get_list(ANONYMOUS, 'f_read', $forum_id))
{
    $s_tweet = true;
    $topic_url = generate_board_url() . '/viewtopic.' . $phpEx . '?t=' . $topic_id;
    $hashtag = htmlspecialchars(urlencode('#phpBBModders'));
}
else
{
    $s_tweet = false;
}     

Feel free to change your hashtags to whatever your feel like - your own sitename perhaps. It would also be nice to tweet this topic/post/page via your own account

Note that you need to refresh both your themes and imagesets after doing these changes.

And just for you lot, [url=http://phpbbmodders.net/board/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=14]bonelifer[/url] created new twitter buttons. Although you can replace them if you so wish There's plenty in the internet to choose from

Hello all, i installed the Tweet this topic or post Mod. I have a question with a prob i cannot figure out.

The mod is installed and is working but not correctly,.. When i tweet some posts it works fine but with others it does not, .. it sends the wrong web address to twitter resulting it "the requested topic does not exist" when somebody clicks the link. here is an example of a link that did not work

on site:

Code: Select all

http://cccam-exchange.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=146&p=3408#p3408

on twitter:

Code: Select all

http://cccam-exchange.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=0 #phpBBModders

This appears to be happening on more threads then working ones

I have also noticed that the same think is happening on this site when i try to tweet a post/ thread, Any ideas whats wrong?

thanks in advance + thanks for the mod

[tumba25]

[url=http://phpbbmodders.net/board/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=6359]This[/url] would be to correct place to ask for support for that MOD.
First it seems like you have missed some edits since #phpBBModders are shown in your tweets. Can you tell us where on this site that happens?

[Jaxo]

sorry for posting in the wrong place, maybe someone could move the thread or would you like me to repost?

The mod was installed with automod and all file edits where correct accordining to it. I did have to do some manual edits also as I have a few different themes installed on the site however the problem is happening accross all my themes and not just the ones i did myself... It is also happening on this site when I try to tweet as a test so im thinking it may be a twittter issue more than anything else??

here is a few examples:

on my site the address is:

Code: Select all

http://cccam-exchange.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=138&p=5800#p5800

when I tweet this page the address it put to twitter is:

Code: Select all

http://cccam-exchange.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=0 #phpBBModders

and again on this page:

Code: Select all

http://cccam-exchange.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=168&p=6688#p6688

it puts the link on twitter as:

Code: Select all

http://cccam-exchange.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=0 #phpBBModders

Now for the strange thing, .... the same thing is also happening when I try to tweet something from this site. This very page for example

Code: Select all

http://phpbbmodders.net/board/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=6438&p=26745#p26745

appears on my twitter as

Code: Select all

http://phpbbmodders.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=6438 #phpBBModders

So I do not think there is anything wrong with my install as the same thing is happening when I try to tweet from this site, I think it is more an issue with the mod or else twitter. Any advice I am greatful for as I would really like to get this mod working. My twitter page is http://twitter.com/CCcamExchange.

I will leave a few incorrect tweets up so somebody can have a look.

Thanks

[Jaxo]

I am having a look around my site trying to fix this and think this line in viewtopic may be causing the prob

Code: Select all

$topic_url = generate_board_url() . '/viewtopic.' . $phpEx . '?t=' . $topic_id;

(im know nothing about code btw so this is only a guess) but it appears to me that the generate url is only generating the topic id, but when i look at my threads the also have an F= and P=, Not just T= and it appears to be these parts that is missing from my tweets, what would the F & P =?? is this forum id and post ID?

Its a stab in the dark here as I really dont know code

@ jaxo I tested this.

doesnt look like you changed this line as per instructed in the first post.

Code: Select all

    $hashtag = htmlspecialchars(urlencode('#phpBBModders'));

Change #phpBBModders to what ever you like.

Looks great .. Subsilver version possible?
