does punbb provides any function that returns permalink for any given post/topic? i am not familiar with punbb permalink stuffs!

please open twitter.class.php

you will get a line like:

if(!empty($Status) && TextLength($Status) <= $this->MaxLength){

replace with:

if(!empty($Status)){

Thanks rajuru.

I tried it with the same topic as before.  I don't see the error message now, but neither is the post submitted to twitter You can see the relevant post here: http://www.noisyneighbours.net/forum/to … and-cheap/

Any thoughts?

EDIT: it's fixed if I enable the to.ly URL shortening (Twitter seems to reject a Tweet with >160 chars, even if it would be smaller *after* the URL is shortened.  If the URL is shortened before sending the Tweet, it accepts it.

But I've also noticed that the To.ly URL uses the filename scheme (viewtopic.php?51 or similar). Would it be possible to use the URL rewritten address, for better traffic generation (links from twitter will include the topic title in the URL)?

Thanks for your great work, this is a brilliant extension!

Ah yes, I didn't see your edit before I replied!

I am using the version of the extension from here: http://forum.projanmo.com/extensions/pun_twitter.zip (because the other one didn't work).

In manifest.xml I see the following code (it is the only place where mb_strlen()/strlen() are used:

        <hook id="co_common"><![CDATA[
            $pun_extensions_used = array_merge(isset($pun_extensions_used) ? $pun_extensions_used : array(), array($ext_info['id']));
            function ShortenURL($url) {
              $ch = curl_init();
              curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://to.ly/api.php?longurl=".urlencode($url));
              curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
              curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
              curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
              curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
              $shorturl = curl_exec ($ch);
              curl_close ($ch);
              return $shorturl;
            }
            
            function TextLength($str){
                if(function_exists('mb_strlen')){
                /* Set internal character encoding to UTF-8 */
                    mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8');
                    return mb_strlen($str);
                } else {
                    return strlen($str);
                }
            }
            
            function hashtag($str,$tags=''){
            
            }

            
        ]]></hook>

It looks like mb_strlen() is already used (if available).  What do you think?

One more feature request: Is it possible to extract some content of new topic/reply into tweet?

hello,
i am sorry, i did not see your post earlier.

it is possible however no benefit bcoz twitter supports only 140 or 160 chars. so nothing understandible can be shown after showing the topic and URL. max length is too short to show some excepts.

initially i had wish to implement this. however, could not manage time for the same . busy with a lots of works. will do if get some moments. i have another cool ext idea too .

I just saw the error "Post too long/not set", and the new topic wasn't posted to Twitter.  Presumably this is because the topic title made the whole thing longer than 140 characters.  Is it possible to automatically cut the title (with an elipsis - '...') where necessary to ensure that a twitter post will always be made?

actually, i faced same in some topics too. so in my personal version of the script, i removed the length checking. i awarded the duties to twitter . twitter itself will removes additional texts. so if you want, you may try removing the length checking in script.

if your forum is not in english, you may face it frequently. you may replace strlen() to mb_strlen() that will reduce that ugly message .

It works, thanks Stormeh.

There's extra strings displayed in the setting page, is it right?
And it doesn't work (no tweet updated).
