great twitter idea, any advice?

[boandmichele]

id love to implement the following into my forum, but i have no idea how to go about it.

using twitter, id love there to be a way for my users to 'twitter' and it pop up in a box on the front page of the site. this would be a huge draw to my site specifically, and id love for there to be a way about this.

does anyone have any ideas? i can see it in my head, let me know if i need to be more specific.


*edit* there is this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hlight=twitter, but that displays on the member's profile page, which is too far buried for my members to get any use from it.

I want the same thing sort of.. but I'd like to have it on separate page.
I tried to modify the twitter in profile hack but I don't know enough to get it working.

Would a donation help get this mod created?

anyone??

I am looking for this aswell. Would be a huge *sticky* factor for all forums. Allowing people to tweet from your forum instead of going to Twitter directly.

The code is already out there to connect to Twitter API. Anyone want to make it work with vB please? I predict a very popular mod.

I'd be willing to donate some money to have someone create this. Anyone else?

Have you taken a look at the Twitter API?
This would have to be custom made, as you see the only twitter mod we have now in the profile.

Cheers

Include me in the list of people who want such a mod.

This code seems promising.. but the main drawback is you would have to ask forum members to give their twitter passwords.
