Profile Enhancements - 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

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

[Brandon Sheley]

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

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

Thank you very much

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

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

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.

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?
