UKBL ~ Twitter profile link on Postbit ~ Clickable

UKBL ~ Twitter profile link on Postbit ~ Clickable !! Member on Twitter? Show other members that you have a Twitter presance by adding a Twitter Icon to your postbit ;) Not been on for a while but i've had numerous requests for this Twitter hack so here we go.... This is a cool hack which will let your members add a Twitter Icon to their Postbit template, They need to add their Twitter Profile user name in their userCP for this to show, If they don't enter one, then the badge don't show :D Runs along the same lines as the Facebook Hack, so if you've installed that, you'll love this :D How to install. Its really easy to do, as always, so if your sitting comfortably, lets begin ;) Now we need to create a User Custome field, so..... AdminCP and add a custom field > User Profile fields > Add New User Profile Field Title = Twitter User Name Description = Enter Your Twitter username from your Twitter User Profile Default Value = Leave empty Max length of allowed user input = 20 Display Size = 10 Display Order = 10 or 15 Field Required = No as default Field Editable by User = Yes in case member wants to delete, Later Private Field = No Field Searchable on Members List = No Show on Members List = Yes Regular Expression = leave empty Save the field ;) Once you've saved you can see what the field number is, So lets say its Field11 for example, Remember this as will need it for your Postbit Edits :up: Thats the first bit done, now Part Two :rolleyes: Go to the template you are using in Styles & Templates/Style Manager, and select Edit templates. Go to "postbit templates" and select the template you are using, either postbit or postbit_legacy. Find the following Code:
<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div class="postbit">$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if> Code:
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6, 7, 9)"> Code:
http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/ukbusinesslive/twitter3.gif They are in .gif and .png, use the ones you feel happiest with ;) https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/04/5.gif https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/04/10.png https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/04/3.gif https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/04/4.gif https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/04/11.png https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ Now when members sign up their Twitter badge and enter their profile user ID into the "Enter your twitter username from your Twitter User Profile" section in their UserCP, The Badge will automatically appear in their Postbit :eek: Don't forget to change the usergroup condition with the number of the usergroups that you want to be able to view this Code:
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6, 7, 9)"> Members who do not add a user id will not be shown anything. Next, Upload the Twitter icon to your forums/images/misc folder and add the full url to the part in the code which shows the image. if you are just seeing a red cross on your postbit, then its because your image url is not right ;) Oh Forgot to say, Badge is fully clickable so members can click directly to Twitter ;) Please Click Installed and I'll support you 100% Thanks |

Welcome back Gerry.
I coded this on our forums a few weeks back, and am happy with it. Albeit I think Twitter is crap, lol |
Does the Twitter status shows on postbit legacy?.. do you have screen or demo site? THANKS!

As you can see in the above pic, it turns all the text under the twitter pic into a link. How can I correct that? |
-the end link tag is missing...
Code:
border="0"/></a> |

this is brilliant!
thank you! excuse my idiocy but how do i get the twitter link to open a new page?? |
Quote:
To get the link to open in a new browser window, what you do is add the target="_blank" attribute to your code, like this Code:
<a href="https://twitter.com/$post[field11]" target="_blank"> |
Cheers!

Great!
However, I've been trying to run both this and the FB mod side by side and all I get is a mix of the two :( What I actually get is the FB profile linking to the Twitter profile pic, or the Twitter image not showing at all! Any ideas how I can get both to work together in perfect harmony? <if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 2, 5, 6, 7, 10)"> <if condition="$post['field5']"> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php/#/profile.php?id=$post[field5]&ref=profile"> <img alt="My Facebook" border="0" src="http://www.mysite.com/forum/images/facebook.png" border="0"/> </if></if> <if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 2, 5, 6, 7, 10)"> <if condition="$post['field6']"> <a href="https://twitter.com/$post[field6] <img alt="My Twitter" border="0" src="http://www.mysite.com/forum/images/twitter1.png" border="0"/> </if></if> |
