For the past few months I've been tweeting my latest gamerscore gains each day and have finally started to hate having to do it each day!

So I came up with something to make the process easier for myself and well anyone! Thanks to 360Voice & XML I've managed to come up with a few PHP scripts that will tweet certain stuff for me like

- Latest Achievement Increase
- Most Recent Badge
- Latest Gamerscore Increase
- Current Gamerscore
- Leaderboard Position (Based on Gamerscore)

The site can be found over @ http://360tweet.ninjasfate.com/ and its pretty much finished!

I will say now this requires you enter your Twitter Password but there is nothing in the PHP that would store it or let me know what it was!

I will say use at your own risk!

I'm pretty new to PHP and definitely XML and I'm surprised I managed to pull this off :)

Hopefully its fine to use 360Voice to post to twitter :) I'm not to sure, If not I will take the site down.

For now hopefully it comes in useful to some :) and now time to leave it for the day and get some sleep :) and maybe come up with a site logo later.

I will be checking this thread daily so if there are any bugs/suggestions please let me know and I'll see what I can do :)

NOTE: All the information is pulled from 360Voice so if you end up having the same tweet twice you might want to delete one version and wait till 360Voice updates :)

That's pretty cool...here's some thoughts after my initial trials:

* Implement the Twitter OAuth system instead of asking for a username and password.

* Show what is going to be tweeted before it tweets so something can be added to it or it can be canceled before the send.

* How do you figure get the last badge earned? When I did it, it told me Viral VIP was the last one I got but that's not right. Actually the last badge I got was the 10 day streak badge (even though I lost it the next day).

* Once it's working perfectly, an automation system would be nice. I wouldn't mind having it make a weekly post telling how many games I played the prior week and how many achievements and how much gamerscore I got for those games.

That's it for now. If I think of anything else, I'll post it here. Nice job!

Awesome, I will look into getting the Twitter OAuth System put in if I can work it out :)

Just as I stopped working on it last night I did decent there should be a box that will show whats going to be tweeted so I shall work that in :)

I'm guessing I never worked out latest badge earned right in the end if its saying Viral VIP for you, I assumed it was working since that was my last badge.

And finally if I manage to get the Twitter Auth System working I'm guessing I can implant an automation system :)

Edit:
I've managed to login with the Twitter OAuth but having problems knowing how to send tweets... Am still working on it though :)

Edit2:
I've managed to get it to tweet now my problem is I can't seem to get it to pull the data from the feed and then tweet it.

Final Edit:
If anyone has any insight on how to tweet say $gamertag using the OAuth system please do let me know.

Every time I send the tweet its just sending it as $gamertag and not converting it to the actual gamertag :(

Once this problem is sorted it should all be working and I can upgrade it from whats up now.

The Line =
$content = $to->OAuthRequest('https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml', array('status' => '$gamertag'), 'POST');

Not sure if I'm missing something.

Well since I've not beheld to get the Twitter OAuth System working I've updated the site to show a Preview before you finally Tweet :)

Hopefully later on I'll update the site so you can fill out a custom tweet and use data pulled from 360Voice :)

I am still trying to get the OAuth System working but for now this shall do :) since once I have it working I should beheld to transfer over most of what I've done.

I know this over a year over due but since Twitter forced it I got around to getting OAuth working if anyone happens to care :)

Now that OAuth is working I might start working on the site some more and have it auto tweet eventually and such.

$content = $to->OAuthRequest('https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml', array('status' => '$gamertag'), 'POST');

should be

$content = $to->OAuthRequest('https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml', array('status' => "$gamertag"), 'POST');

Single quotes (') are literal strings, PHP won't parse variables in it.
Double quotes (") are not literal strings, variables work.

Better way

$content = $to->OAuthRequest('https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml', array('status' => $gamertag), 'POST');

Because $gamertag is already a string, no need to convert it twice.
