They will learn to love it ;-)
Good to hear that this is working for you now. Have fun with it!

This is pretty slick. I'm using rtetzloff's edits to pull new threads from only two of our forums on pmwf.com and tweeting them at twitter.com/pmwf.

But, I have a question, or more of a request, I suppose.

PMWF users love their smileys (icons, as we call 'em) over there and the subjects of our posts are chock full of them. So, a tweet comes across showing the trigger text for the smiley. For example:

Quote

subjectsmiley61! How do you like me new Classic Vintage Diver? subjectsmiley64! [tinyurl.com] 10 hours ago from web

Is there some way that those trigger texts could be stripped out before being passed to Twitter? It would sure make things cleaner. All of our subject smileys use a consistent trigger format of "subjectsmileyXX!" where XX is a two digit number.

I'm far (very far) from a programmer and have no idea if this is possible. Appreciate any thoughts.

As always, Thanks!

Replace:

        $status = urlencode($message["subject"]." ".$url);

With:

        $subject = preg_replace('/subjectsmiley\d+!/', "", $message["subject"]);

        $status = urlencode($subject." ".$url);

Untested.

Thanks, Brian! That looks to have worked just fine.

Another question/request for this mod:

Suppose I want to have two twitter feeds? Say, one for our discussion forum and a second for our sales forum. That way users could choose which to follow. Is there a way to copy this module and upload a second time to do this? I'd assume there would have to be some sort of change to the code to allow?

TIA for any input.

No thoughts on this? I've tried a couple things myself, but have so far only managed to screw things up. :D

Is it possible to only receive threadstarters of a folder/forum? Thank you!
