BB Code Enhancements - twitter status on your signature

Dear all

I just can't wait to share this information to all of you guys who love to twit.

This idea is coming from I　want to show my own twitter status in my vb signature , lots of my member saw what I　do , and want me to share them how to do this in their signature.

But the original twitter code can only show one person's status , others will show empty status.

So I and my member @chweng modify this code to make it works perfectly.

Now let me show you how to do this:

Installation Procedure:

1. download the attach files here

2.unzip it ,and upload to your site , for example , http://yoursite.com/twitter-iphone4tw.js

3.add a line in your headinclude in your style

PHP Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://yoursite.com/twitter-jcms.js"></script> 


4.go to bbcode

Title: twitter
BB Code Tag Name: twitter
Replacement:

＊What am I doing now?
<div id="twitter_div">
<ul id="twitter_update_list_{param}"></ul>
<a href="http://twitter.com/{param}" id="twitter-link" style="display:block;text-align:right;" target="_blank">Follow me in Twitter...</a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/{param}.json?callback=twitterCallback2&amp;count=1"></script>

Example: [twitter]jcms[/twitter]
Description: You can put your Twitter status in your signature , just edit your signature , and input [twitter]your twitter id[/twitter] , then it works.

Use Option:no

I found the problem is :

it's case sensitive .

so you can use [twitter]vBSetup[/twitter]

but this will not work [twitter]vbsetup[/twitter]

that's why in the earlier test my status can show up , but their status won't work .

Excellent!
Thank you so much, now to let a few forum owners know about this. They've been asking for a while

It's sort of slowing the pages down if anyone has the twitter link in their sigs

[ArnyVee]

I noticed that slow down on the pages too Brandon.

Maybe we can get that tweaked?

We don't allow sigs on our forum. What about putting this in a members profile, though? That makes more sense to me anyway.

There is already a hack that does that
this is a bbcode tho, it can be posted anywhere on the forum

[Brandon Sheley]

any update on this? is there any way to not slow the pages?

thanks

[acyk]

yes, I am looking for the solution , too .

Which part of this slow down our website performance ?

our website -> request -> twitter -> send back-> user status -> showthread

this part slow download our performance , but I　try to make an new javascript from twitter's API ,but my programing skill is too weak to make it happen.

Can anyone help us to rewrite a javascript that request user status from twitter ?

Hello acyk,
Thanks for looking into it.

It looks like to me... The it's pulling the update from twitter and that is what slows the page down.
If 4 or 5 people have the updates in their sig and the post in the same thread, it takes 6-8 seconds for the page to load.

Good luck with the progress, it's a great idea and one I've wanted for a while.

So it would be pretty easy to insert this in the template and just display it at the top of the page then
