Mini Mods - Twitter Username Widget BB code

Hi all, this little bit of code, will allow your members to use twitter widgets on your site...

As seen At my Leicester Talk Forum (last post)

Theres no products to upload, or templates to edit.. Just follow these steps.

Creating the basic Widget
Go To "Admin CP --> Custom BB Codes --> Add New BB Code"

Enter the following...

Title: twitterUsername
BB Code Tag Name: @me
Replacement:

<script src="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js"></script>
<script>
new TWTR.Widget({
  version: 2,
  type: 'profile',
  rpp: 30,
  interval: 4000,
  width: 'auto',
  height: 100,
  theme: {
    shell: {
      background: '#382f57',
      color: '#ffffff'
    },
    tweets: {
      background: '#ffffff',
      color: '#000000',
      links: '#0013e8'
    }
  },
  features: {
    scrollbar: true,
    loop: true,
    live: true,
    hashtags: true,
    timestamp: true,
    avatars: false,
    behavior: 'default'
  }
}).render().setUser('{param}').start();
</script>

Example: [@me]leicestertalk[/@me]
Description: Shows a twitter profile widget for the selected user.
Use {option}: No
Button Image (Optional): whatever 20x20 image you want, I've dropped a few links at the bottom and I'm sure someone will post one...
Remove Tag If Empty: Yes
Disable BB Code Within This BB Code: Yes
Disable Smilies Within This BB Code: Yes
Disable Word Wrapping Within This BB Code: Yes

Thats It Folks..
If you wish to use searches instead of username, please check out my other mod. You can change height/width/colors of the mod as required (pretty obvious how)

As ever PayPal donations excepted... As are follows @leicestertalk and the odd post on my forums

But i'd prefer a donation, because that means mooo monies

Twitter Icons

p.s I have only briefly tested this... So no responsibility if you don't stage your installs... (dev > test > live)

I've just installed it and now looking at your icons......trying to find little one.

WoW, that is really cool!

I am just wondering if there is a way it could be a widget that would display in the sidebar and on the blogs?

I tested it in the posting and it works great...would be cool if it would go on the sidebar column and in blogs.

Thank you very much.

It can go where ever you can put BB code (using the syntax [@me]username[/@me] so your users can use it in blog posts/custom pages/custom side bar).

It can also be used anywhere you can use HTML. Create a new "custom PHP/HTML" in your forum block for example, pasting in the replacement code (changing {param} for your username).

I'm not sure what you mean?

But if you mean it doesn't show in the editor, this is down to limitations in VB (and my knowledge of modding it).

after i post the twitter code, doesnt show in forum.
so i have to view the post with twitter code by : clicking the thread again?

does it work with vb 4.0.3?
