End-User Options - Engage Twitter

# 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.

Great mod, easy to install.

I see this message in my control panel
Current Activity: Unknown Location /forums/sendmessage.php?do=im&type=twitter&u=1
I'm also waiting to display message with most recent at the top of the block.

Reinstalling engage Twitter took care of the above error, but it is frustrating that the Twitter block displays the oldest tweet first.

There may be interference from another add-on.
- plugin of the product "add im_icons parser template"

* 1st try to move the "Execution Order " of the plugin from 5 to 2 and test then to 10 and test.

* 2nd try: in a plugin of the product "add im_icons parser template"

This integrates the twitter icon into the postbit / postbit_legacy.
Hash that part of the code out and save and see if your threads return to normal.

Wrap: /* */ around the code.

if ($vbulletin->templatecache['postbit']) 
{ 
    $vbulletin->templatecache['postbit'] = str_replace('$post[skypeicon]', '$post[skypeicon] $post[twittericon]', $vbulletin->templatecache['postbit']); 
} 
if ($vbulletin->templatecache['postbit_legacy']) 
{ 
    $vbulletin->templatecache['postbit_legacy'] = str_replace('$post[skypeicon]', '$post[skypeicon] $post[twittericon]', $vbulletin->templatecache['postbit_legacy']); 
}

Thank you for your answer.

I am using the default list display of posts within threads, but I don't know what my members use. Why should this be an issue?

I am using this plugin for facebook/myspace social networking in postbit. I don't know if that could cause an interference.
