I had where I could auto log-in at just a few place that I don't
normally go to and they worked fine for awhile but now for some reason
none of my foursquare profiles work as far as auto logging in. I was
just wondering what I need to do get them working again. This is what
my profiles basically look like right now.

Server:port -> user:pa...@api.foursquare.com
Path -> /v1/checkin
data ->
vid=362349
private=1
facebook=0
twitter=0


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First, make sure Foursqure guys haven't changed their API recently.

Since they updated to v2, you have to use https posts, which tasker
doesn't support.
I've bought FsIntents, and checkin at work automatically every day
now.

Try this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joaomgcd.intents&feature=search_result
It's updated to work with the new Foursquare API and works quite well.

Thank you I bought this also and it indeed does work very well. To bad
Tasker itself was not able to do this but at least there was a fix
that still allowed me to use tasker like I wanted. Many thanks.

Apparently it can still be done this way with a few small tweaks. Question is, how do you get the vendor ID's for the places you go?

The venders ID use to be in the address bar of your browser. But I think they changed something about a year ago and I had to buy an app called fsintents, which after you get use to it works better than typing all those numbers in anyhow.

Grabbed FsIntents. Works like a champ and even configurable to avoid checking in just because you drove by. Well worth the price...
