BB Code Enhancements - 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

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!

[Chase]

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?

[Digital Jedi]

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.)

[Chase]

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.
