Why use Tweet Poster?

Additionally, search engines tend to prioritise links found...

I flagged this product as Beta, but the release thread for this mod @ our site was posted to Twitter successfully so chances are it's working just fine

Wow!
One less addon from XF1 (BD Social Share).
Maybe also include Facebook Auto Share (Page).

Do you have a link to the mod? If it's free and I can use it to learn how to do it, I'd definitely consider it

Post to facebook + tweet would make it a paid worthy add-on

This is a port of our vBulletin mod with the same name which was free, and since it was completed in less than 3 hours I'd feel really bad charging for this

That being said, it is possible to set up Twitter to auto-post to Facebook, although don't ask me how as it was set up years ago

True, I have it for XF1 site also enabled for years now.

Thanks for this. I'll try it tonight. I'd also love a facebook version (and linkedin??)

Does this support multiple twitter accounts?

Even more complicated, could we tweet one forum to one twitter account and a second forum to a different twitter account?

No and no

Nice addon!

But it needs to be able to pull image from attachments. I always add images to my tweets (and usually the same ones that I have used in the linked forum post.

Either pull automatically, or at least have a field where we can select which image to use upon thread creation.

Yes Image from thread, If no image found then use Metadata Logo URL.

I have no current plans to extend this addon in such a way, sorry.

The entire reason why this addon was released originally for vBulletin was that I wanted to have the forum auto-post to Twitter when we released a new mod, but why not also release it for free since it wasn't that much effort.

Now that DBTech moved to XF2, this plugin was needed once more, and charging for it would be rather silly considering it doesn't do, well, anything people are requesting in this thread

I don't like the idea of taking a once-free mod and making it paid, as it alienates people who only wanted what was in the free version. The Lite/Pro split is not the norm in the XF community so that model doesn't really work either.

That's not to say I'll never release an update, but I'm sure you'll understand if I end up focusing on paid products

I have this error in install.

To prevent potential issues, please resolve the following warnings before continuing:

The hashes.json file for this add-on is missing so no file health check can be performed.

I would love it if you could also do the opposite. Take a tweet and automatically make it post as a user in a thread. Could you add that in or make it a separate paid mod?

@DragonByte Tech Please can you make also for node category. Does work also for sub-node from main node?

No, it needs to be specified on every forum. It will only work on forums, categories do not contain posts.
