I used to use twitter updater but the damn thing stopped working for me a year ago and i have NO idea why. Does anyone know of another plugin that does the same thing (Posts a tweet when i write a new blog post with a link to my blog)??
Plugin to update twitter with blog posts?
- Thread starter rgordon83
- Start date
Yeah I use Twitterfeed, too, but there are still some accounts that have stopped updating for some unknown reason (with very active RSS feeds).
OK I read this place all the time and have got a lot out without giving anything back so here goes;
Put these two in the same folder :
whatever.php
last.php :
Stick the first one on a cron, or if you are a bit weird like me and like to inexplicably load the first script from a couple of other servers do it something like this and cron it :
Put these two in the same folder :
whatever.php

<?php
include('last.php');
$uname = 'TWITTER_USERNAME';
$pwd = 'TWITTER_PASSWORD';

$rss = new lastRSS;
if ($rs = $rss->get($feed)){
$title = $rs[items][0][title];
$url = $rs[items][0][link];
} else { die('Error: RSS file not found.'); }
$bitly_call = file_get_contents("http://api.bit.ly/shorten?version=2.0.1&longUrl=" . $url . "&login=BITLY_USER_NAME&apiKey=BITLY_API_KEY&history=1");
$bitlyinfo=json_decode(utf8_encode($bitly_call),true);
