BBcode for Embedded Tweets
 

Overview

The Embedded Tweet feature allows websites to generate copy and paste-able HTML markup to render a Tweet on any third-party website. This markup presents a Tweet in an attractive (and display guidelines compliant) way, and automatically sets up Web Intents so that viewers of the Tweet may retweet, reply, favorite, and follow easily from the rendered view. read more

Enjoyed!

I get this error message . . . .

I copied & pasted. Have no idea where the two missing double quotes are supposed to be.

I'm running vB v4.2

===============================
Nevermind!

Got it to work even with the error message

thank you. works great and very simple to use.

Just ignore that message for now!

Brilliant mod! Thank You!

You'r welcome :)

I ignored the error message but it did not work in my 4.2 !

Installed on 4.2 and largely working well (despite the error message others mention when applying the BB code)

However edit post on a thread with an embedded tweet now doesn't work - the edit box is greyed out with no text to edit.

Other threads on the site are still OK, so I'm pretty confident it's related to this.

I have this issue too.

Same issue here too. I had many reports that people were unable to edit posts. However it took me a while to track it to this, i never thought bbcode would cause such issues. Removed until bug fix.

Have you turned off autolinks for the TAG?

I did have Disable Automatic Link Parsing Within This BB Code set to 'No', I've now set it to 'Yes'.

Same results with each - can't edit.

It has stopped working.

And all previous embedded tweets posts are blank.

I'm working on an update!

I think the problem was at the Twitter end.

Would be nice if it just took the whole URL. For now, having my users dissect it is nothing more than an inconvenience.

just keep an eye on page load times

Nice. Thanks!!

doesn't work

I am very interested in this.

Will this work on 3.8.7?

bump

Awesome, all set... good one.

How can I get this to work on 3.8.7?

BBCodes are, inherently, not modifications. They don't use anything vB version related, they only use Replacement code that should work in any webpage. So pretty much there's no reason why it shouldn't work on any version of vB.

Thanks for the reply Jedi...

I followed the directions closely and when I went to add the 18 digit tweet ID in the tags, the result just came up blank.

Any idea why?

Are you posting via AJAX [Quick Reply and Inline Editing]? JavaScripts, when used as BBCodes don't show up for the end user. That is, until you refresh or reload the page. For everyone else, they'll see it the first time. Also, is it working inside the BBCode editor? If it's working there, it's working on the forum. So always make sure it works in the example and test area as first.

ahhhhhh thank you! It works great!

The mod works great but it would be nice if all we had to do was copy and paste the URL and not have to go digging for the 18 digit code. It's not too difficult for me to do it but I feel it would be a real hassle for my visitors to have to dig around for that info.

Is there any way to do that?

Not with the way the BBCode editor works. All it does is take whatever you put inside the [tags] and replaces it in the Replacement code wherever you see {param}. The replacement code doesn't use the full URL at all.

(NOTE: AME could probably do that. But it would require someone to make a definition.)

I would have no idea how to do that. Think you could help me do that? I would donate some $$ to you for your help.

Don't work on vb 4.20 pl3

It's not really version specific. Double check your code and do testing in the Admin CP. It should work on any vBulletin installation.

Just wanted to bump in case you missed this due to it being the last post on that page.

It would be best if we discussed that in my AME definitions thread, rather than here. But I'll look into creating a definition in time.

The simple LINK Tab is gone from Tweets, but the number is still there in Embed and works.

If you mean the Direct Link to individual tweets, they're still there. You have to click the Tweet's time stamp.

The reply box is back to being gray-out again when the post contains a tweet.

I have something similar but only when you would need to go and edit the post that contains the tweet. Any chance that could be solved?

Are you guys referring to when you edit a reply with a Tweet in it, and the tweet disappears? If so, that's a limitation of the AJAX used in vBulletin. JavaScript can't called within the JavaScript of the page, as it were. It also happens when using Quick Reply. Nothing simple can be done to fix it, but it really only does that for the person posting/editing. Everyone else can still see the post, and even the poster can when he reloads the page. If it's something different, than I'm not sure what you mean.

No, the reply box is GRAY OUT. The only way to reply is via open in new tab.

I'm currently using FF v18.2
