Tweetboard Integartion (Forum + CMS)
 

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 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.

==>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:

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

Thats it ! I hope it might help some others like me, who don't understand programming like me.

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

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. :)

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

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.

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

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

don't forget to change this part youtwitterusername

Confirmed on vb 4.01

Thanks for confirmation, boosts my moral a lot :)

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

yeah I requested one months ago. Still nothing.

Doesnt this create a empty widget? for the cms

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.

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

chek my tweetboard working dont need to register or to vaiting for approve

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

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?

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..

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

how'd you do that?

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

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:

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

Hello?

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

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 :(

Guy just posted it took him about a week.

it can be used also for facebook?

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.

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.

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...

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?

Been a week and still waiting on my invite :(

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.

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.
