Hello,

I would like certain posts to be automatically posted to Twitter. Is someone willing to develop a custom app or plugin that does it?

I think what you are looking for already comes integrated in the suite 🙂

Go to ACP > Site promotion > Social Media Promotion > Twitter Promotion Tab, then you will be guided for what to do from here by the instructions in the ACP.

Once all is set up in the you will have this button when you open a topic:

 

It's not really automatic as you requested, but maybe it works out 🙂 

 

I have this but i need it to be fully automatic and be posted in real time even when I'm not around.

The easiest way I found to do this was to create an RSS feed within IPS for the content/forums you want. Use that RSS feed and go to feedburner. Add your twitter account under the Publicize/socialize section. Newly created posts will be posted on twitter if they are in the RSS feed.

What is exactly this screenshot? It's not from ACP, right?

its from google feedburner, its free.

It is asking to add a feed, what is feed URL?

Okay, found it. The problem is that I want to post to Twitter content from members only forum. So when I add it to feedburner, it says "Received HTTP error: "Forbidden" while fetching source feed."

Any way to resolve this?

So.. With dozens of developers here, no one is interested to do it? Or I'm posting in the wrong place?

Ok, I'll take a shot at it in the following days. Maybe I can make something quick taking advantage of what IPB has already integrated into it.

If you release a plugin, I may buy it 🙂

It'll only post if its in an rss feed, so if you cant create the feed because its restricted content, it will not work.

Hi @steadyoptions, @AlexWebsites

The plugin is waiting for marketplace approval,w hen it's approved you'll see it here.

 

Sorry for the delay, been caught with some other stuff 🙂 

Thank you.

I had an error in it, but I didn't see the mail they sent, I solved it, now I replied to that ticket. So it's back in line for approval 🙂

Taking by their usual schedule should be done in a couple of days, but can't say for sure.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, it's totally my fault that I didn't see that problem I had in the code and now you have to wait more, as it wasn't enough. 

Looks like it's available now.

Where in settings do I specify the Twitter handler?

The plugin words with the integration that is already in IPS4 core, you must activate that from ACP > System > Site promotion > Twitter Promotion Tab, and you will be guided from there further 🙂

Thank you.

When I do it and click on "link your user account", I get:

EXPECTED_KEY_NOT_PRESENT

Error code: 4C375/1

 

Any idea what could be the issue?

Have you set the Callback URLs on twitter's app page? 

If you having problems finding / setting that please be sure to follow this guide's ( https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/how-to-use-ips-community-suite/social-sign-in/43-and-above/twitter-r303/ ) Creating a Twitter App part.
