Embed Tweets from Twitter BB Code

[BirdOPrey5]

As with most BB Codes this should work on all versions of vBulletin including vBCloud.

Will embed tweets as you see here (http://sedona.vbulletin.net/forum/testing-and-other-stuff/299-test-topic?p=414#post414).

Log into your Admin CP go to Custom BB Codes on the side menu, expand it, and choose Add New Bb Code.

On the next page enter the following:

Title: Tweet
BB Code Tag Name: tweet
Replacement:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/abc/status/{param}">Embedded Tweet</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Example: 642036152850083841
Description: Embeds a Tweet
Use Option: No
Button Image: (Leave blank or find your own icon image)
Remove Tag If Empty: YES
All remaining Yes/No questions - also YES.

And save the BB Code.

Now in a post you can post something like

642036152850083841

to embed a tweet.

You find the number by finding the link to the tweet on twitter and taking the number from the link.

For example the link to a tweet might be:

https://twitter.com/fox5ny/status/642037356162256896


So in this case use:

642037356162256896

To embed the tweet.

any screenshot?

The demo link is better than a screenshot- http://sedona.vbulletin.net/forum/testing-and-other-stuff/299-test-topic

[Madekozu]

yes ... demo link is much better ;)

another "demo" you can find on my homepage, just - the twitter-code is modified for german language

This is odd. The mod works great, except one bug. When I try to edit a thread's title that has a tweet embedded ..... the pop up asking me if I want to navigate away from the page displays each time I click on the Thread Title input box.

Can someone verify this? I am using VB 5.1.9

I can confirm this does happen. If I click the button to not leave the page I am able to edit the title and re-save without a problem.

Unfortunately not likely I can do anything about it, can't really modify Twitter's code.

It is weird though.

Also only happens when a Tweet is in the first post of a topic.

hi

great

have you intend to to make automatic import of any tweet of an tweetter account?


:up:

[BirdOPrey5]

No that would be beyond the scope a BB Code. Sorry.

[beansbaxter]

This works great on any threads in forums that are publicly accessible. However, nothing displays when the post is in a forum that's private and can only been seen by specific usergroups. Is there a way to make this work in private forums?

Thanks!

[BirdOPrey5]

This is the replacement code I literally just used on a post on a private site without issue-

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/twt/status/{param}">Embedded Tweet</a></blockquote>
<script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Virtually identical, but does that help at all?

[Cem01]

It has worked on vb 4.2.3 too.

Thanks!

Works great. Would be perfect a automatically embed code withot BBCode

[Drucifer]

:up: Works great in the forum but if you have to edit the post, it does get tricky.

:down: You must click the stay on page in order to perform an edit function.

:down: Also, the tweet seems reloads itself every few seconds sometimes when posting it in vBShout v6.

[liishh]

This does the same thing for me. It loads the tweet but no one can quote the post with the tweet in it.

[BirdOPrey5]

Does the issue happen when using the Standard Editor as opposed to the WYSIWYG (Advanced) Editor?

Yes it does.

Anyone's help with this would be great. The mod works very well but the posts cannot be quoted!

[charlesr]

Tried this and it works great for the tweet, but any text after the tweet gets hyperlinked. Any ideas?

[charlesr]

Have same issue

See post #10 for the solution. The A tag wasn't closed off in the original post for some reason.

Do you know if the new code has been added to the inicial code of the author?

The initial post has not been updated. Note how the "a href" has not been closed off with an "/a" (it needs to be there).

[BirdOPrey5]

I have updated the first post now. There will be no further updates. I'm sorry if it doesn't work feel free to remove.
