Twitter BBCode

[kirby14]

Information:

Allows you to embed a Tweet in a post using only the ID.
You can reply, retweet, follow, etc. directly from inside the post.
Uses Twitter's oEmbed endpoint (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-tweets).


Usage:
<id>

Known Bugs:
On vB4 there is currently an issue with the AJAX quick edit form while in Standard Editor mode. If you want to use the Standard Editor, you will need to do the fix listed below.

Fix For The Bug Listed Above: (vB4 only) in /clientscripts/ckeditor/ckeditor.js line 134 change:
for(command in y)q.getCommand(y[command]).setState(2);

to
for(command in y){if(!typeof y[command] === "undefined"){q.getCommand(y[command]).setState(2);}}

Install:
Read the install.txt file in the .zip. It is very simple.

Note: I changed the tag from twitter to tweet because I noticed someone already is using twitter.

Cant wait to try this after bug fixes. Thanks for this.

Yeah, the Twitter toolbar part should be simple but I haven't done a lot of javascript work and I don't know any YUI so I am counting on someone else from the community helping out.

I'll keep working on it, though.

[kirby14]

Ok, I posted a temporary fix. I'll try to pinpoint why there is an undefined object being added to teh array, but for now this should fix it.

[Cybnext]

Works on 3.8 as well. Not sure if the strip_bbcode hook does anything, but everything else is functional.

[SpikeSaunders]

Lovely, but for some reason on 4.2 it won't give your fancy look like in the screenshot. Works nicely, just no formatting, acts like indented text in the post

Just testing a new feature!

Did you include the javascript line that is in the install.txt file? Just need to put it at the bottom of your headinclude file.

[SpikeSaunders]

Indeed! However, mine had a slight edit from a previous mod long removed. Replaced that with the new one, fixed. Heh. Thanks man!

No problem. I was honestly surprised someone hadn't already written it. It seems like something that could work out pretty well on a lot of installs.

[SpikeSaunders]

Yep. Only problem is when twitter dev team updates the API again which will break existing twitter mods everywhere just like last time :)

[thedukeboard]

Perfect. Thank you.

[panosha]

Excellent! Thank you. :)

[The_____KinG]

Installed it on VB 4.1.12 and nothing happens. I made the changes that were instructed in the install file. Any reason?.

[kirby14]

Did you try using a [tweet] tag? Nothing shows up in the ckeditor toolbar yet, you just have to manually type it.

[The_____KinG]

Yes, I have used the tags and I have manually edited the ckeditor.js file and replace the code you provided as suggested. But nothing changes.

[kirby14]

By 'nothing changes' do you mean you just see <tweet id> in the post or something else?

[The_____KinG]

By 'nothing changes' do you mean you just see <tweet id> in the post or something else?

Yes. <tweet id> remains as is in the post.

[burak61]

It works on Chrome but doesn't work on Mozilla.

How can I add a button for this ?

[BTArep]

I get this

Warning: require_once([path]/mach/bbcode_twitter/plugins/bbcode_fetch_tags.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/class_bbcode.php(3719) : eval()'d code on line 2

Running VB 4.2.

[Wseries]

Installed on vB 4.2.0 and it appears to work however it's nothing like the example in the screenshot. Instead I just get a text version of the tweet. Any idea why?

[Hamma]

Sounds like you did not add the headinclude for the Twitter Widgets, check the install.txt

By the way this works great even in vB3 looking forward to new updates or features! :)

move everything from your upload folder into the forum root

Very nice mod, not keen on mods that require file edits because it's one more thing to keep track of between versions, but overall very nice.

[kirby14]

Wow, sorry for not replying. Somehow I wasn't getting emails about replies to this mod (or maybe it was getting in my spam folder or something)

I'll look in to what is required to get the button added to CKEditor and let you know. I'm not sure there is a good way around the hack I had to do in the javascript file, though.

[Chase]

I know it's a vB4 mod but will it work on 3.8.7?

[kirby14]

I've heard from others that it runs in 3.8 just fine and doesn't require the javascript changes.

[brz299]

Works perfect on 3.8

I second this question. I want to add a button for this in editor

Same here. Please provide some sort of instruction or smth...

[obglobal.net]

I would love to do this, but don't have the required technological awesomeness. Anyone willing to foster a noob for a day?

[DF031]

Hi all,

I tried to replace the code
(command in y)q.getCommand(y[command]).setState(2); --> (command in y){if(!typeof y[command] === "undefined"){q.getCommand(y[command]).setState(2);}}

But I can not find the first line in ckeditor.js

Any suggestions ?

[ringnews24]

I followed the instructions inside the zipped package.

Now my whole admin inteface is a white page.

Can you tell me what to do next, thanks?

[ringnews24]

Sorted and uninstalled with help from the support forum.

[AshleyTwo]

I've installed and it works fine in 3.8, but when you post it it's just plain text, but when you refresh/go back into the thread it works. Presume its something to do with the ckeditor script that needs editing (but isn't in 3.8). Is there something else I need to edit?

[Dr. HaZaRd]

Same here. Please provide some sort of instruction or smth...

I join to this :D

[john7911]

Thank you ;)
I'll try it :)

[MattGarner]

Has anyone managed to get a button added to the editor for this?

[obglobal.net]

I got everything done right with the installation and ckeditor, but the tweets come out like this

what's the deal, do you think?

I got the same thing. Did you manage to sort something out?:confused:

[ArcadeSyndicate]

works fine on 4.2.2, thx :)

[gsmlover4u]

hi i need some help about upload files
is there need to upload on root MATCH folder with .DS_Store file or only MATCH folder ?

[Guardian Hope]

I have it working on 4.2.2 though there are some strange occurrences where it won't pull over the Twitter style but it'll still pull over the text and who it's coming from.

Still, the really only working Twitter embedding I've seen so far.

[gsmlover4u]

but not working for me on vb 4.2.2

[xxfullclipxx]

It works for me on the latest version of vbulletin and on firefox didnt check other browsers. at first i thought you entered like the username. but that didnt work but if i go to embed a tweet and get the id from that it will work.

[gsmlover4u]

how to get twitter ID ?

[sub_ubi]

Can't believe this is the only plugin for embedding tweets

[z3r0]

Probably because it's simple enough just to make your own bbcode from the twitter embed code.

Title: Tweet
BB Code Tag Name: tweet
Replacement:
<script type="text/javascript">
function loadx(data) {
document.write(data.html);
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/oembed.json?id={param}&callback=loadx"></script>
<div class="twitter" onLoad="loadx().html"/>

Example:429641515728527360

Description: use the last number bit from the end of a tweet url and put between tweet tags.
429641515728527360

Use {option}: no
Remove Tag If Empty: Yes
Disable BB Code Within This BB Code: Yes
Disable Smilies Within This BB Code: Yes
Disable Word Wrapping Within This BB Code: Yes
Disable Automatic Link Parsing Within This BB Code: Yes

You do need to refresh the page before it shows after posting, but that's no biggie.

Thank you, that worked.

this crashed my forum.

I am able to reach the forum's main page but when I click on posts in the forum, I get a 500 Internal Error. So I deleted the modification and everything works okay again.
