# Engage Twitter v. 1.0 for vBulletin 3.7.x - 3.8x
# ----------------------------------------------------------------
# Zachariah Boren - http://www.szone.us

This adds the ability of having for each user of your board to enter their Twitter.com account.

Tested:
- vBulletin 3.7x to vBulletin 3.8.4

This hack integrates itself into: (demo links)
- AdminCP (edit a user / profile)
- user CP
- Postbit
- memberlist
- profile block using a twitter widget

Installation:
upload im_twitter.gif to images/misc/
import product

Settings:
User Control Panel => Your Profile => Edit Your Details
- Optional Information
-- Instant Messaging
--- Twitter ID:

****************************
Todo:
- Add options in USERCP and/or AdmincP to change hardcoded settings of
profile widget (colors, size, block location)

- Add a 2nd widget block that alows users to have custom search
queries.


PS Opps:

If the user twitter account is set to private it prompts for a password when visiting there profile.

Can you have so it doesn't show on the users profile if it's private?

and what alfaowner said about the oldest update 1st

I will have to look if there is any other way to access the data that is comming from twitter via. API with user/password interaction.

At the moment:
- It may be that we put a disclaimer to tell the users to not fill in their name if their twitter account if it is set to private.

I thought about that. I was planning to use https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=208657 "description for meta and bookmarksite on showthread" and create a bookmarksite for twitter as another network to submit to. At the moment this is a file edit, but with future "hook" requests @ vb.com we might make it a plug-in some day.

There may be something can be done with the API to submit last post / last thread, limit per usergroup, limit per forum, to twitter user/password, on a CRON job so that we can throttle the speed of submits per hour, other things.

Good idea, need to do more research and dev.
