Twitter [SOLVED]

[Virtualei]

Hi all,

I have tried to get my va twitter to tweet as my pireps are recorded using the information provided in http://forum.phpvms....-up-twitter-r37

I have put the code (replacing all the necessary info of course) into my local_config file

Config::Set('TWITTER_ENABLE_PUSH', true);

Config::Set('TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY', 'PASTE THE CONSUMER KEY HERE');

Config::Set('TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET', 'PASTE THE CONSUMER SECRET HERE');

Config::Set('TWITTER_OAUTH_TOKEN', 'PASTE THE ACCESS TOKEN HERE');

Config::Set('TWITTER_OAUTH_SECRET', 'PASTE THE ACCESS TOKEN SECRET HERE');

But its not happening . Can anyone help please

Thanks in advance

What phpVMS version do you have?

[Virtualei]

Thanks for getting back to me i have

PHP Version 5.3.8

[Talisman57]

He means phpVMS version.

The documentation suggests that a beta version of phpVMS will only run this, as it says "

As of phpVMS 3.0, there is an "Activity Feed"

Most likely, your version of phpVMS won't work with this.

[Virtualei]

thanks for the reply. Is there nothing i can do then

[Talisman57]

Nope. But just to make sure, what's your phpVMS version?

[flyalaska]

Is there even a phpVMS 3.0?

[Virtualei]

hi all i cant find a phpVMS 3.0 i have Version 2.1.934

[Talisman57]

Yeah, it won't work. Plus, I don't see a module or class relating to Twitter

[simpilot]

The latest beta is working for Twitter posts of PIREP activity. The latest beta can be found here http://downloads.phpvms.net/

The main additions beyond the Twitter configuration in the local.config.php file is in the ActivityData.class.php, which I do not think even existed in the release version 934. There is also some cleanup of the Twitter activity in the bootstrap file as well.

I have quite a few sites running with the latest beta without any real issues, I would not be scared to update.

[Virtualei]

Hi Simpilot,

I have updated to the latest beta 934 and the activity module is there ok but my pireps are still not going to twitter . Any suggestions??

Thanks

What's your website address?

[Virtualei]

Hi there my address is www.caalair.com

thanks

[simpilot]

I would check a number of things,

In your original post of your config information there is a line missing - I am not sure if it was just omitted when you posted to the forum or if it is missing from your config;

Config::Set('TWITTER_AIRLINE_ACCOUNT', 'account_name');

The complete twitter config should be, (with your specific information added)

Config::Set('TWITTER_AIRLINE_ACCOUNT', '');
Config::Set('TWITTER_ENABLE_PUSH', TRUE);
Config::Set('TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY', '');
Config::Set('TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET', '');
Config::Set('TWITTER_OAUTH_TOKEN', '');
Config::Set('TWITTER_OAUTH_SECRET', '');

Verify that all your Twitter keys are correct.

Verify that there is a line for the last Twitter update time in your phpvms_updates table. If there is not run the following in phpMyAdmin

INSERT INTO `phpvms_updates` (
`id` ,
`name` ,
`lastupdate`
)
VALUES (
NULL , 'TWITTER_UPDATE', '2012-05-01 07:41:36'
);

Verify that you have the phpvms_activityfeed table in your database.

Verify that you have the activitydata.class.php file in your core/common folder. If it is there verify that the Twitter function is in it. Around line 98 the function should start with;

public static function pushToTwitter($params) {

[Virtualei]

Hi , I have check all the above and still nothing

I am wondering if this is the problem. Can anyone tell me what goes in here

[Virtualei]

Can anyone advise please.

Thank you

[simpilot]

You dont really need to do anything in that screen.

When you created your app at twitter did you allow it both read and write access, I have seen some folks only allow read access which will stp the system from posting. I have attached a screenshot of the screen at twitter for your app settings. The two green squares show your access settings for your application. If they are set to read only change them to read and write then regenerate your oAuth keys to reflect the changes.

[Virtualei]

Hi Simpilot,

Yep both settings are read and write. This is doing my head in. I bet it is something stupid

[Virtualei]

i think i will give up on this one( a few grey hairs later)

[simpilot]

If you would like to email me with the information I can go in and take a look at it for you and see if I can get it working.

[Virtualei]

Have done Simpilot. Thanks for all your help

[Virtualei]

Thank you Simpilot. All sorted now and my VA is tweeting away. For anyone reading this post my problem turned out to be the version of phpvms I was running. When i updated I hadnt done it correctly. Thanks everyone for helping and also to Simpilot for solving it

Hey, strange i did everything described in this topic but no tweets are sent.

As i am looking into this, i see that local.config is filled with the correct information... the app.config isn't though. This should be filled in as well right?

Regards

Lucas

[Virtualei]

As far as i know as long as the local.config is filled in it doesnt matter about the app.config I might be wrong and I am sure I will be corrected if I am. My problem was the phpvms version I was running. It needs to be Version v2.1.934-171-gbc02380

You can check this in your Admin center at the bottom right hand side of the page.

You could be missing something part of the twitter? Consider going to BETA, but I must warn you, you may run into errors if you switch to BETA.

[MrAmsterdam]

Hey,

yes, i did update to the beta version (Version v2.1.934-171-gbc02380)

i did everything as described in this topic. it doesnt work for me though.

To sum up:

- checked local.config and everything OK.

- the tables are there and filled as should.

hell, i just followed this post... weird stuff

[MrAmsterdam]

And again... thought i read it all but noooooo... read/write at dev.twitter.com was not set correctly. now its working like a charm !
