Tweetboard Integartion (Forum + CMS)

[rover.prince]

Hello Folks,

This is my 1st ever thread for the modification, so please do guide me if I have done anything wrong at any place.

Well I was searching for the tweetboard integration with our vbulletin 4. I tried to follow the guide (http://support.tweetboard.com/forums/51942/entries/42629) available on the tweetboard installation as well, but ended up with error on forum. So tried to figure out myself how to make it work on vb4. To make tweetboard working simply follow these step.

( I assume that you have tweetboard alpha invite.)

==>Forum<==

1. Go to you admin panel --> Styles & Templates --> Style Manager --> (select Your Style) --> Edit Templates --> Forum Display Templates --> Forumhome

2. In forumhome at the end there is </body> tag, simply place the below mentioned code above that tag and you are done.

<script src='http://tweetboard.com/yourtwitteraccount/tb.js' type='text/javascript'>
</script>

==>CMS<==
1. Go to you admin panel --> vBulletin CMS --> Widgets --> Create New Widget --> Widget Type (Static HTML) and Title "Tweetboard. --> Save

2. Now on main Widget screen you see a new widget named "Tweetboard" in last column against it click "Configure"

3. A pop up window appears, input this code in that window:

<script src="http://tweetboard.com/tb.js?v=1.0&user=youtwitterusername"type="text/javascript"></script>

and save.

4. Go to you admin panel --> vBulletin CMS --> Layout Manager --> Home --> Edit -->Widgets --> select "Tweetboard" and introduce as left column at last place.

5. Save and you are done.

See: Demo

(http://zodage.com)Thats it ! I hope it might help some others like me, who don't understand programming like me.

[rover.prince]

I wish if someone could confirm me, did it work for their forums as well or not.

[SpongeBob71]

It worked for me but the code should be as follows:

"<script src='http://tweetboard.com/yourtwitteraccount/tb.js' type='text/javascript'>
</script>"

not

<script src='http://tweetboard.com/yourtwitteraccount/tb.js' type='text/javascript'>
</script>> <-- extra ">" This is why it didn't work

There was an extra ">" at the end.

Hope this helps,

SpongeBob

Code updated as per your guideline. Thanks for guiding. :)

[VonDoom]

I have this on a cpl of my boards for several months now and love it. so do members.

[rover.prince]

This is great effort by tweetboard, having live microblog on forum is like heaven. Most of the time it's quite appreciated by the users.

[VonDoom]

now if we can just get them (tweetboard) to open registrations again.

[rover.prince]

now if we can just get them (tweetboard) to open registrations again.

Well ! you can still get registered by requesting for their alpha invites.

[Brandon Sheley]

don't forget to change this part youtwitterusername

[halkum]

Confirmed on vb 4.01

[rover.prince]

Confirmed on vb 4.01

Thanks for confirmation, boosts my moral a lot :)

[GreigM]

Would love this but does not seem like tweetboard is activating any beta's?

[Hornstar]

yeah I requested one months ago. Still nothing.

[lazyseller]

Doesnt this create a empty widget? for the cms

[VonDoom]

Yeah I have it on a cpl forums but cant get any new beta Invites ATM have been waiting for a cpl months my self.

[rover.prince]

Well I requested for their alpha invite and got reply just after 10 minutes, I think my luck. :D

[dejanl]

chek my tweetboard working (http://www.webmasters-community.com) dont need to register or to vaiting for approve

[GreigM]

so you don't need to wait for them to accept your request?

[dejanl]

yes you do, but you can use tweetboard till thay approve you :)

[c.c.]

yes you do, but you can use tweetboard till thay approve you :)

Is it fully functional without their approval? I'm confused? Once the point of approval if the app works without one?

[Big-Pete]

Thanks, This is great, I've used it on one of my sites, but my main site has vbseo installed and tweetboard is built into vbseo now..

[rover.prince]

I liked this micro forum concept on a full forum. At least we can segregate large post from mirco posts.

[c.c.]

chek my tweetboard working (http://www.webmasters-community.com) dont need to register or to vaiting for approve

how'd you do that?

[Brandon Sheley]

ps.. you don't need this mod, the install instructions are on tweetboard.com as well :rolleyes:

[movslow]

Could someone clarify exactly what's going on.

We don't need approval to use this? Then what does their "approval" do?

Also, what get's "tweeted" to the board?

I'm an automotive site, it would be nice to bring in automotive related discussion, possible?

:confused:

[Ripper]

I've been waiting 3 weeks, and still nothing? :mad::(:)

[movslow]

Hello?

[x626xblack]

Been two weeks here and still nothing? Can someone please explain the answer to the previous question?

[movslow]

I signed up w/o an account to test it..it loads on the our side, but won't do anything b/c we don't have an account with them. So I put my invite in..have to see :(

[movslow]

Guy just posted it took him about a week.

[dangerin]

it can be used also for facebook?

[rover.prince]

actually tweetboard is still giving alpha invite, well people, let me clear one thing, if you don't get the invite and your request is not approved, your tweets can not be triggered from your a/c. As tweet button would show, but as you don't have a/c at backend, so in the end micro forum will not be in working condition.

[TheSupportForum]

I WOULD INSTALLED STILL IF IT WAS AS A PRODUCT

i can do this for you with the nessesary details you have provided for users

the product will allow users to put their tweetboard details in admincp instaead of the manual template changes

contact me via PM if your interested as long as i am put as the Co-Author

A product would be interesting.

[balkanboy]

i decided to not use this it seems to make my vbulletin page kinda lag when u scroll up and down contacted the tweetboard support saying there working on a fix.... still the same waiting for that to get fixed...

[x626xblack]

Question: Is this just something I have seen or does everyone else experience it also.

Now keep in mind I only have 10 twitter followers.

How events transpire:
log in to my site and look at the who is on. 2 users and 2 guests (Spiders)

Tweet with tweet board.

wait 3 minutes

look at who is on 2 users and 32 guests WTF????

This happens every time I tweet, not one of those guests has registered. If I had 300-400 followers I may understand but I have 10, so how am i getting 30 visitors from tweetboard?

[movslow]

Been a week and still waiting on my invite :(

[TheSupportForum]

if you buy vbseo you get an invite straight away like me

[movslow]

if you buy vbseo you get an invite straight away like me

I've bought enough w/VB.

They said 1-14 days on invites.

It's been 7 days exactly so far.

I'm sure it will come, prolly alot of people asking.

[talonguy]

if you need an alpha invite for tweetboard do this

go here

http://tweetboard.com/alpha/invites/

use invite code: DRUPALINVITES01

let me know if this works.

[dangerin]

really nice.
but i've a question :
how can i do not appear the widget on home page and only the tweet button at left of page how i see in a loto of sites?
thanks

are there any limitations with alpha version?
I'm trying to find new users for thi site and this can be a good way . .

[x626xblack]

Why do we need a blank widget on the CMS? With the tweetboard already on the left hand side.

it's teh same question that i've done..
i hope someone cna help us to leave that blank widget that is really not nice

[GreigM]

I have added it to our forums, adding the template code in forumhome, forumdisplay and showthread templates, is there no way to add it to CMS without the blank widget?

[dejanl]

i get aprove after 2 days

http://webmasters-community.com

[jaffaman]

I have added it to our forums, adding the template code in forumhome, forumdisplay and showthread templates, is there no way to add it to CMS without the blank widget?
Ok i have not got this running yet as awaiting for my tweetboard to go live but i have it showing on a test site without using the blank widget.

I donkt know if this is the right thing to do as i am not a coder but what i done is edit the template called vbcms_page.
Just above </body>
Iput in this code <script src="http://tweetboard.com/tb.js?v=1.0&user=youtwitterusername"type="text/javascript"></script>

It looks like it should work but as i said i am no coder and this might be the wrong thing to do so only do it at your own risk.

[oddmud]

i want a tweetboard invite. :(

[jaffaman]

Just go to http://tweetboard.com and click on the request a free alpha invite :)

[M@tt]

The advice above with the invite code worked a treat as did the guide from this Mod.
Thanks, so glad I have this installed now!

Surely there must be a way to get rid of the empty widget in order for this come up though?

[movslow]

I resubmitted, 6 days and counting.

[movslow]

I'm an idiot, I didn't realized it was approved over a week ago.

Figured out how to get around this one. Rather then creating a whole new widget for the 2nd bit of code, simply add the code to the end of an existing html widget that you have. Works a treat! Doesn't matter where the widget on the page either.

[M@tt]

if you need an alpha invite for tweetboard do this

go here

Worked a charm mate! Got approved straight away on the spot. None of this waiting crap :D

[dangerin]

Someone has seen that in his site with tweetboard someusers can not access more at site because it stay blocked for a long time and not appear the home page?
When i leave tweetboard all can access correctly..
What can be? in my pc there is not this problme but more users has indicated me this thing and i must remove the code from the pages.
There is a solution ?

[woffie]

This is built into vbseo. I am still waiting on my tweetboard invite. It has been weeks.

[M@tt]

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing their Tweet Board not working right now? I've been checking a few and most people have theirs working fine. Mine is viewable though my tweets aren't showing all of a sudden. No changes had been made to my board and I've just noticed that the contributor to this thread's Tweet Board isn't working in his demo anymore either which seems to be the same issue as mine.

Anyone got any thoughts? See the link in my signature to see what I mean.

Thank you

[drummaster]

Someone helped me so i will help you.....

[PI Guy]

Brilliant Installed in minutes. :)

[gkaradagan]

i will try that thanks

[Bouncer222]

I have the suite version, but I have disabled the vbulletin CMPS, and instead use vbadvanced.

How can I make this work with vbadvanced maybe or just without cmps?
Thanks.

[KiLLWiT]

If you post the code in your footer template it'll show up on every page. Works like a charm. Thanks!

[Jabong82]

Yes this code works excellent!

Um FYI though for those waiting for an alpha invite I didn't receive notification that I had been approved.

The way I found out was basically I installed this mod on my board and started toying with it but then realized it was actually working. So just double check if you are still waiting because I didn't get tweeted or nothin.

[Ceri May]

:up:Hey Guys,

I just stumbled upon this thread by pure luck and can see some of you are having trouble getting tweetboard invites. For those of you who don't know me I am the lead support agent for @140ware (Makers of Tweetboard).

If any of you are still having problem please feel free to open a ticket for my attention at http://support.tweetboard.com/ normal invite process can take 1-14days to be accepted but as x626xblack said on the 25 Feb there are also some invite codes that you can get from Techcrunch and vBSEO (If your a customer) who also have an easy intergration option in their control pannel. Using an invite code means you get approved instantly without the need for a wait, I guess you can say that will speed things up for you.

If you also run a blog or CMS (other than the suite) we have a number of knowlege base articles at http://support.tweetboard.com/forums/51942-knowledge-base/entries will information on how to install on systems like Wordpress, Drupal and Joomla for example.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

[sdfaheem]

I dont have CMS installed, just the forum.
I cannot create any widgets, what do i do now?

[woffie]

Works great! Thanks!

[woffie]

The CMS widget does not seem to work.

[Jabong82]

You don't need a CMS widget to make this work on Forums. Just take the line of code and place it in your FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY template or any other template you want it to show up in.

[Jabong82]

The CMS widget does not seem to work.

Just take the line of code and add it at the end to an existing widget.

[justasiam]

I installed this mod, then went to http://tweetboard.com/alpha/#tb to request a free alpha invite.

When do I get approved?

As it is now, when I go to my site and click the "Tweet" button, it slides to the side and gives me an error that says:

---------------------
The Tweetboard account not found
Please check tweetboard.com to create an account.
---------------------

Ideas?

[justasiam]

Is there any support for this mod at all? How do I get approved for tweetboard? I applied, but NOTHING.

[War.Frog]

Thank you, I will do just that.

Thanks M@tt!

[Sean James]

Would love to see this as a plugin, i dont use my vbseo license anymore

[sKippah]

Installed. How can i change the color and how to get this also working in cms (not as a widget), same as on forumhome??

[TheBish]

Simple and effective!

[sKippah]

Well done it now, as written, for the cms. I have now the tweet but also an empty widget. isnt it possible to get just the tab without the widget?! Thx

[Brandon Sheley]

just add the code in the footer of your template, it doesn't need to be a plugin and you don't need vbseo :)

you should be able to custmize the tweetboard by clicking the settings icon.

add the code in the footer, you don't need it as a widget if you don't want to :)

[sKippah]

Thanks for the help ;)

[cindy helmond]

to bad waiting for an week , get this message if i register again :

Tweetboard account for this website is already registered

[freexav]

the tweetboard integration disappears when I leave CMS or Forum homepage...
any ideas how to restore it to every pages?

[freexav]

when people write a new tweet, there is no reference about my vbulletin website.
How could I fix this?

Best,
Xavier

[Dragonsys]

It does not work for me when I add the code to my footer. it works in forumhome just fine, but not in the footer or the header.

Edit: I just had to use the full script from tweetboard.com just to get the little tweets tab to even show up. However, nothing happens when you click on it.

[sticky]

Finally got an invite so I'm using this but isn't there a better way to get this on the CMS than using a widget? The widget shows up as tweetboard at the very bottom so it just doesn't look clean.

Can't a template edit simply be used like on the forum home?

[sticky]

Ok, this code in the footer template will make it so tweetboard works everywhere, pretty nifty: <script src='http://tweetboard.com/yourtwitteraccount/tb.js' type='text/javascript'>
</script>

[dan94adibi]

thanx for this

[RichieBoy67]

Should remove this, tweetboard hasn't been online for awhile..

[GamerPerfection]

Should remove this, tweetboard hasn't been online for awhile..

Then just report the thread instead of bumping it back up after 2.5 years!

[RichieBoy67]

I did not report it in case I am wrong or in case there is an alternative. I figured I would mention it and see what others say.

Who cares how old it is.. People still come across old threads through searches all the time.

Also, when you are a moderator you can tell me what to do regarding how I post..

[Spangle]

Should remove this, tweetboard hasn't been online for awhile..

I'm actually glad you posted this, I'm looking for a MOD to feed our twitter posts to the board, if I hadn't of read this, I would have been on a wild goose chase
