RemoteTweet

Author's Description:

This script is a unique take on the typical Twitter Train. Instead of having to follow everyone to get onto the train, you have to retweet everyone’s status to get your status on the train. It doesn’t have a V.I.P service like other trains, and I have left AdSense out so the customer can choose.  I hope that anyone who wants to buy this has enough knowledge to edit parts of the design, however if you need help I can aid you.

Unlike other train scripts, this does not store any details at all meaning that spam updates will not be made from any account that logs in.  The user simply logs in securely using oAuth and if its their first time, their twitter ID will be registered into the database.

The train works on a basis that you join the front once you’ve retweeted every status currently on it, the status on the end will then be taken off. The user can only put one status up, and can re-join the train when they are pushed off; it is as simple as when they first joined. The number of people can be changed in the settings file, however I recommend keeping it at 5. Unlike other trains, every status can be followed simply with one button. This is done via AJAX and the user does not need to leave the page once.

Once the user has joined the train, they have the option to tweet about the website. Unlike other scripts, the user is not forced to tweet. The set messages can also be set on the settings page.

The script uses my unique RemoteTweet class (it only includes the functions relevant to this script however) which integrates the Twitter API using PHP and logging in securely using oAuth. The users passwords are not stored and their details are secure when using Twitter’s oAuth.

If you have any problems or suggestions, feel free to tell me and I’ll try and respond as quickly as possible.
