New posts to Twitter? (Flarum)

JAC

Hi,

Is it possible to send the first topic post to your Twitter account?

Thanks.

JAC automated, or manual ? If manual, you can use fof/share-social as this will allow you to post to Twitter.

If you're looking for something automated, then this is also possible, but would either require an extension, or perhaps a script to execute.

phenomlab Id be looking for automated if possible yes.

JAC this is possible, yes. However, there are some small nuances in the sense that the script I have currently auto posts directly for the feed items it receives. It doesn't tweet the first post of every thread for example.

phenomlab It's not 100% necessary for now it would be a nice feature to have, but as flarum progresses it's possible someone will release an extension.

Automated is preferred but for now I can just tweet the ones I wish to via social share as you suggested above 👍🏻

JAC just circling back here to let you know that version 2 of my RSS parser script now includes the ability to automatically tweet the post itself. Subsequent tweets can be completed using the fof/share-social extension manually.
