[Tutorial] Publish your latest ads to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIN etc

[computerbar]

Again another one very easy to do.
I like using feedburner.com as there is no limit (max 5 on twiterfeed.com) on updates however feedburner offer only post to twitter at the moment.

Ok let start

Check your domain address with /feed at the end ie http://peeklocal.com/feed if you are NOT seeing anything feeds then you need to enable PERMALINKS.
In admin menu-->general settings--> permalinks-->CHECK friendly URLS.
If you do not want to enanle friendly urls then your site feed url is
http://peeklocal.com/index.php?page=search&sFeed=rss


1- go to http://twitterfeed.com register and sign in.
2- CREATER NEW FEED
3- Name yor feed and enter your site address ending with /feed eg http://peeklocal.com/feed
4- click on ADVANCE settings on the bottom left.
5- Choose update frequency, 1-5 post update, Post content or title or both.
6- Choose tinyurl as short url(other needs API or registrations etc)
7- Post sorting select Pubdate.
8- Click on Continue to step 2 on the bottom
9- Your feed has been created now you should see

Available Services

    Twitter
    Statusnet
    Hellotxt
    Facebook
    Linkedin

click on any of them to autheticate the accounts and you are good to go.

Thank you

[computerbar]

[BuySellAndSwap]

www.buysellandswap.co.uk

thank you

[computerbar]

your feed url is
http://www.buysellandswap.co.uk/index.php?page=search&sFeed=rss

Check in your root directory file name generate_rules.php

Can you see these line below? if not add them

// Feed rules
    $rewrite->addRule('^feed$', 'index.php?page=search&sFeed=rss');
    $rewrite->addRule('^feed/(.+)$', 'index.php?page=search&sFeed=$1');

Hi computerbar

I think hunt4it does not have permalinks enabled so he will have to use http://www.buysellandswap.co.uk/index.php?page=search&sFeed=rss this as his rss feed url. I also do not have permalinks enabled so I would have to use something like what hunt4it is using.
