MyBB Publisher

[Ashley S]

Hello.
I am using the MyBB Publisher where when a member posts a thread it locates it to my twitter account giving me more guests/register members to visit my forum.

I have enabled the plugin and added all the options it tells me to from twitter.
It just doesen't seem to be working, even when i post a thread in any forum board it doesen't get published to my twitter account.

Forums in which New Threads are published
This is a CSV list of FIDs to publish (if above is {yes}) or not to publish (if above is {no}). Set to 0 to include/exclude new threads from all forums.

I have added the 0 and it's still not working.
Thank you.

Try adding in all the forum FID's into that field. Are you sure the 0 isn't excluding all forums instead of including them?

Ive added one forum ID 46 and i posted in that forum board and it aint showing on my twitter page.

Could you provide me with a link and login details so I can troubleshoot please.

Login on your account at www.adminmb.com 😉
Thank you!

You are trying to use a Bit.ly shortening service, but you haven't put in your Bit.ly username and API key.

Did you even bother to read the README_Twitter file that came with the plugin download? It gives clear instructions on how to use and enable it. :S

Spoiler

This plugin utilizes oAuth integration with Twitter. In order to utilize this plugin you must have:
1) a Twitter account
2) register an application on the Twitter dev site (browser type with read/write access)
3) obtain the token and key for the registered application
4) obtain your consumer key and consumer secret specific to your account on the Twitter dev site

Once you have the above information, install the plugin via the MyBB ACP and provide the above
information in the approprite fields. If you wish to have indicators on your forum/subforum index
specify an image in the icon field.

Decide if you want to:

(1) define specific forums to be published, ignoring new content in all others
or
(2) define specific forums to not publish, while publishing new content in all others

If (1), set the "Inclusive" option to YES
If (2), set the "Inclusive" option to NO

To define which forums will be published (1) or to be ignored (2), provide a CSV list of forum IDs (FIDs).
Otherwise set to 0 to indicate all forums. Please note that using 0 with (2) above will not publish anything.

Hashtags are also supported. If a CSV list of terms are provided, these terms will be prepended
with # when sending to Twitter. You can specify the maximum number of hashtags to use in the
settings. Tags are processed left to right from the CSV list, so place the most important tags
first as once the specified number of tags are met, no more tags are created.

Supports tweeting new announcements from ACP, threads moved into 'publishable' forums, thread drafts
posted into 'publishable' forums.

Dy.namik, if you read through the official thread for the plugin, you will know that even if all the settings are correct some servers work differently. In order to find out why the plugin wouldn't work, pavemen would have to send another file which includes debug code to see what the problem is.

So, when the settings are correct, it won't always work.

Still can't seem to fix it

Ashley, PM pavemen on the MyBB community forums and he will sort it out for you. I'm trying to use one of his plugins and it's not working, and he is trying to fix it for me.
