Twitter Profile 1.0 (displays Twitter on a member's profile page)
 

As the title already says, this product adds a Twitter widget to a member's profile page. It's very easy to install, adds no additional queries, requires no file modifications and no template modifications.

Features include:

• Variable placement within the profile page
• Define the number of tweets to display
• Make links within tweets clickable (on/off)
• Ignore tweets that are replies (on/off)
• Asynchronous request to avoid delays in loading the profile page
• Fully phrased

Example: link

Installation instruction included in the zip file.

I release this product as unsupported, because I don't have the time to constantly track this board. I will, however, listen to your feedback and suggestions, and I invite everyone to enhance this product and to post your enhancements here.

Cheers,
Alex

Oops, I forgot about this, thank you. I hope you don't mind me putting it in the first post as an example.

Great! Thanks.

May I suggest opening a new window for the links. ;)

Also, add a "More..." link at the bottom that goes to the members' full profile.

Great mod :). Thanks... works fine.

How about one for Plurk?

I have to say this is a great mod! Wish it was supported.

ooo.. lovin it :)
I'll get it installed later when I get time

great idea ;)

looks good
here is another live example

Would it be difficult to put something like the last 2 or 3 tweets into a member's signature instead of the profile?

I like that, or having the last tweet showing up in the post like facebook's "status"

btw... my page just shows loading...

Nice hack ! have been waiting for this hack

Thank you very much

Twitter is down so much it might keep the page from loading fully. Cool mod though...

I will consider these as options for the next update of this mod.

Although I decided to call it unsupported, I am going to be here and listen to your feedback. It's just a technicality so nobody gets upset if I suddenly decide to go on vacation for a longer period of time. :D

That would actually require fundamental changes. To make the mod scale well with big boards, I decided to use Javascript to fetch all information from Twitter. If we'd want to display tweets in a member's signature (or his postbit in general), we'd have to use the server to fetch tweets and store them in the database. That would be possible, but as I said, I wanted to solution that doesn't add any burden on the server.

This is one item on the to do list: to catch the situation when Twitter is down or when the user entered an invalid Twitter username. However, loco, in your particular case, I think you broke something when you edited the template that is being passed to the Twitter-fetching javascript. Can you revert

template: '<div class="smallfont">"%text%" <a onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outgoing/http_twitter_com_user_screen_name_statuses_id_');" href="http://twitter.com/%user_screen_name%/statuses/%id%">%time%</a></div>'

to

template: '<div class="smallfont">"%text%" <a href="http://twitter.com/%user_screen_name%/statuses/%id%">%time%</a></div>'

and see if that works for you?

Can anyone help - my twitter status is showing up as:Fetching tweets...

and staying there!

Matt, have you followed the instruction? Did you go to ACP->vBulletin Options->Twitter Profile and input the User Profile Field Id of your Twitter field? Also, did you enter a valid Twitter username?

Thank you Alex, mod installed. :up:

Maybe for the future can only add that the contacts/friends can see the twitter status in my profile.


Salu2
Marcelo.

I still have not got involved in Twitter. do many people use it?

installed! thanks :)

Thanks! Great mod.

http://www.lifeattack.com/member.php?u=1 <-- mine

edit: ok - now that i've posted that, and it was working great... it's stalled out at fetching tweets.. heh.

edit again: I tweeted and it picked up on the tweets... now its working fine again. Last thing I did was change the number of tweets shown before it stopped (if that helps to figure anything out).

Last edit :) - I think it gets stuck at listing just 1 tweet... mine is at least..

awesome mod

not working...followed the directions but its not working and stuck on loading

It's a great add-on.

A couple of suggestions for future versions:

• Add rel=nofollow to all the twitter links -- if it doesn't already have no-follow, then nofollow it.
• Please don't change it to open links in a new window... that is bad for usability because different browsers handle that behavior differently. Some browsers will unexpectedly open a new tab 25 tabs away from the original tab if you set links to open in a new window

I may have to give this a try again, I really wanted to get it working

If you run vbSEO then you will need to edit the template "memberinfo_block_twitter"

Change:
to
This should fix the javascript error you get.

FYI if you add:
To any <a href="blah"> tag it will stop vbSEO from modifying the link.

thanks for that Zero, I couldn't figure out why it wasn't updating.

I've been trying to get this to work, but I'm at a loss.

I've got a Last.fm profile block, which is working fine, but the Twitter block simply is not appearing.

(I also made the modification for VBseo, but that made no difference)

Any ideas?

Fantastic MOD!@!!

Its not showing up in my profile. Uploaded all files, created a new profile field, imported the product, configured the twitter options But twitter box wont showing up.. :S

Did you add your Twitter username to your personal profile field? It only shows up if the user actually enters a Twitter username.

This works great but how can I do this on it's own page and also pull from all my sites members twitter accounts?

This is bad assery at it's finest!!!

anyone have ideas how i can make this a cmps module?

works like a charm, thanks

Installed.

Would love an option to display a Twitter icon along with the Yahoo, AIM, Skype icons in member infobox next to posts.

Try this:
edit your postbit/postbit legacy template(s) as follows:
Find:Add After:
replacing the red 'x' with your field number (same as the one you used in admincp options setting.

Upload the attached twitter.gif to your ...forums/images/misc folder Or whereever else you choose, if not the images/misc folder then change the img src in above code to point to where you did place it.
attached is a Twitter 't' gif
