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.

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
