Twitterbook v3 Now Available

by Stuart Robertson on August 19th, 2008 | Social Media

A new version of Twitterbook is now available – the mashup that lets you use your Facebook status to update your Twitter account.  For this update, a special thanks goes out to Ryan for his suggestions on handling long Facebook status updates when submitting them to Twitter.

Download Twitterbook v3 (4KB)

Just like the previous versions of Twitterbook, you’ll need to edit the .php file with your personal information before uploading it to your server. On the new Facebook layout, you can find the link for the RSS feed for your status updates here:

http://www.new.facebook.com/minifeed.php?filter=11

You’ll need the actual URL of your feed (found at the link above) to properly setup the twitterbook.php file, along with the URL for your Twitter Feed, your Facebook Name (eg. ‘Stuart’), as well as your Twitter username and password.

Once you’ve edited and saved the twitterbook file and posted it on a web server running PHP, just go to the URL for the script (or call it using an automated Chron task) anytime you want to update your Twitter account with your Facebook status.

Thanks again for the feedback and suggestions!  Post a comment, or connect with me on Twitter: twitter.com/designmeme

    Can you explain the Chron task? I’ve gotten this far with the php updated file and need some help from this point. Thanks!

    Solution to my previous problem.
    It has to do with php 5…
    Just make a .htaccess file for the directory of your twitterbook file with the following lines:

    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
    AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

    I’ve posted a blog on how to get your facebook status into drupal, but that same module will work with Twitter as well. In case any one is wondering:

    I’m having some type of weird issue. I did try to do the php5 thing someone previously mentioned by adding a htaccess.

    Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘String could not be parsed as XML’ in /home/.national/daniel13/dangarion.com/twitterbook/twitterbook.php:43 Stack trace: #0 /home/.national/daniel13/dangarion.com/twitterbook/twitterbook.php(43): SimpleXMLElement->__construct(‘’) #1 {main} thrown in /home/.national/daniel13/dangarion.com/twitterbook/twitterbook.php on line 43
