Mini Mods - Twitter Search 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

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: twitter
BB Code Tag Name: tweet
Replacement:

<script src="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js"></script>
<script>
new TWTR.Widget({
  version: 2,
  type: 'search',
  search: '{param}',
  interval: 6000,
  title: '',
  subject: 'Tweets',
  width: 'auto',
  height: 100,
  theme: {
    shell: {
      background: '#8ec1da',
      color: '#ffffff'
    },
    tweets: {
      background: '#ffffff',
      color: '#444444',
      links: '#1985b5'
    }
  },
  features: {
    scrollbar: true,
    loop: true,
    live: true,
    hashtags: true,
    timestamp: true,
    avatars: true,
    behavior: 'default'
  }
}).render().start();
</script>

Example: [tweet]leicestertalk[/tweet]
Description: This will insert a twitter widget onto the post, you can use hashtags and searches.
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

To create one with editable titles
Go To "Admin CP --> Custom BB Codes --> Add New BB Code"

Enter the following...

Thats It Folks..
If you wish to use usernames instead of searches, 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)
