Twitter Updates in Members Profile · **Released**: 06-19-2011

What this does
This creates a simple Twitter output of your member's tweets in the About Me section of their profile.

Twitter Updates in Member Profile

For this to work properly you need to create an application on Twitter.

1. Go to https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new
2. Fill out the app details, how to fill it out:
Application Name - Your Website Name
Description - Something relevant to your site
Application Website - Your Forum URL
Callback URL - Your Forum URL
Application Type - Read and Write

Agree to the rules, recaptcha and create your application. You will then be taken to your application details. Take note of your consumer key (21 alphanumerical characters)

3. Unzip the archive and upload the 'twitter' folder to your forum root.

4. You need to add a new profile field (you can skip this if you already having a profile field linking to users' Twitter accounts)

Add a Single-Line Text Box via the User Profile Field Manager and give it a title and a description so users know what it is for.
Set the Maximum length and Field length to your liking
Field Required: NO
Field Editable by User: YES
Private Field: NO
Field Searchable on Members List: NO
Show on Members List: NO
Regular Expression: Leave Blank

Take a note of the profile field number.

5. Open your additional.css template and add this at the bottom:

Code:

.tweets {
    border:1px solid #e7e7e7;
    border-radius:2px;
    max-width:100%;
    font:13px/17px "Tahoma",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
    color:#333;
    background-color:#cccccc;
}

.tweets a {
    color:#98d7fb;
    text-decoration:none;
}

.tweets a:hover {
        color:#03680f;
    text-decoration:underline;
}

.tweets .tweet {
    border-bottom:1px solid #e7e7e7;
    padding:12px 12px;
}

.tweets .tweets_header {
    border-bottom:1px solid #e7e7e7;
    padding:12px 12px;
    font-weight:bold;
    font-size:14px;
}

.tweets .tweets_header a {
    color:#2dd851;
    text-decoration:none;
    font-weight:bold;
    font-style:normal;
    text-transform:lowercase;
}

.tweets .tweets_header a:hover {
    text-decoration:none;
}

.tweets_footer {
    padding:6px 12px;
    text-align: left;
}

.tweets_footer span.powered {
    font-size:9px;
}

.tweets_footer span.powered p {
    margin:0;
    text-align: center;
    font-size:9px;
    color:#999;
}

.tweets_footer span.powered a {
    font-size:9px;
    color:#999;
    text-decoration:none;
}

.tweets_footer span.powered a:hover {
    text-decoration:underline;
}

.tweets_footer #bird, .mt_footer .image_r {
    background:url("http://twimg0-a.akamaihd.net/a/1331143368/t1/img/twitter_web_sprite_icons.png") no-repeat;
}


.tweets_footer #bird{
    display:inline-block;
    margin:10px auto;
    background-position: 0 0;
    width: 34px;
    height: 26px;
}

.tweets .tweet .time {
    float:right;
    color:#999;
    font-size:11px;
}

.tweets .tweet .avatar {
    float:left;
    margin-right:12px;
    border-radius:3px;
}

.tweets .tweet .avatar img {
    border-radius:3px;
}

.mt_header {
    padding-bottom:2px;
    padding-left:60px;
}

.mt_screen_name {
    font-size:12px;
    color:#999;
}

.mt_header a {
    font-weight:bold;
    color:#5b78f7;
    text-decoration:none;
}

.mt_text {
    padding-left:60px;
}

.mt_footer {
    color:#999;
    font-size:12px;
    padding-left:60px;
}

.mt_footer .image_r {
    display:inline-block;
    margin-bottom:-2px;
    margin-right:4px;
    background-position: -20px -290px;
    width: 14px;
    height:13px;
    background-color:#999;
}

.mt_footer a{
    color:#999;
}

This will give you a grey box for your tweets - if you want something different you will need to adjust the css yourself - don't ask me for help with this.

6. Open memberinfo_block_statistics and find:

Code:

<!-- view-statistics -->

Below that add:

Code:

<img src="clear.gif" height="10" /><br />
<vb:if condition="$userinfo[fieldXX]">
<div class="blocksubhead subsectionhead userprof_headers userprof_headers_border" >
<h4 id="view-statistics" class="subsectionhead-understate"  style="width:100%">Twitter</h4><br />
</div>
<div class="blockbody subsection userprof_content userprof_content_border">
<div id="twitter_div"> 
<ul id="twitter_update_list"></ul></div>
<script language="javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript" src="twitter/js/jquery.minitwitter.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://platform.twitter.com/anywhere.js?id=consumer_key&amp;v=1&amp;v=1">
  </script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
     twttr.anywhere(function(twitter) {
     twitter.hovercards({ expanded: true });
});
  twttr.anywhere(function (twitter) {
  twitter("#tbox").tweetBox({
  count: true,
  height: 100,
  width: 400,
  label: "Send a tweet",
      });
  });
        </script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="twitter/css/twitter.css"/>
<div class="tweets"> <div class="tweets_header">Recent Updates</div> <div class="content_tweets"> </div> <div class="tweets_footer"> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/{vb:raw userinfo.fieldXX}"><span id="bird"></span></a> </div> </div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
$('.content_tweets').miniTwitter({username: '{vb:raw userinfo.fieldXX}', limit: 5});
</script>
<img src="clear.gif" height="10" /><br /> 
<link type="text/css" href="twitter/css/twitter_light.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="twitter/js/jquery.twitter-friends-2.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#twitter-friends').twitterFriends({
    username:'{vb:raw userinfo.fieldXX}'
    ,friends:1 
    ,users_max:50
    ,loop:1
    ,user_link:1
    ,user_name:0
    ,tweet:1
});
});
</script>
<div id="twitter-friends"></div>
<img src="clear.gif" height="10" /><br />
<div id="tbox"></div>
<img src="clear.gif" height="10" /><br />
</vb:if></div>

Replace consumer_key with the key you noted from step 2. Save

Change all instances of XX to correspond with the profile field number from Step 4.

You can also change the css file by between light and dark by changing

Code:

<link type="text/css" href="twitter/css/twitter_light.css" rel="stylesheet" />

to:

Code:

<link type="text/css" href="twitter/css/twitter_dark.css" rel="stylesheet" />

*The light css uses the standard 'twitter blue' colour scheme and the dark one is shades of black, if you want other colours you will need to amend the css file yourself (probably best making changes to the twitter_light.css file)

Some other options, you can amend this part of the code

Code:

 ,friends:1
    ,users_max:50
    ,loop:1
    ,user_link:0
    ,user_name:0
    ,tweet:1

friends:1 ---> change to 0 to show followers
tweet:1 ---> Set this to 1 to display friends' tweets at widget footer. Tweets will also appear as a tool tip when hovering on a friend picture.
loop:1 ---> loop friends pictures animation or not. Set it to 1 to loop or 0 to disable.
users:50 ---> Number of visible friends' pictures on each swap. Note that Twitter will return your latest 80 Followers/Friends. You can choose to show a smaller number of pictures at a time.
user_name:0 ---> Show tweet author name or not. change to 1 to show
user_link:0 ---> By default, friends pictures will link to their Twitter profile. however, your can link it to their homepage (change to 1)

Save.

To update to v 1.0.6

If you wish to upgrade please upload the twitter folder to your server, remove the old template edits (headinclude and memberinfo_block_statistics) and apply the new edits in the opening post.

History

1.0.3 - Merged the two versions together - but left the option to use either the basic or enhanced (css version). Created a blogger.js file which is hosted on your server instead of externally, this should solve the problems of Tweets not showing.
1.0.4 - Added twitter hovercards
1.0.5 - Added a new block feature which shows the latest activity of your friends or followers.
1.0.6 - New code to display tweets in profile due to changes in Twitter's API.

If anyone wants to further develop any of my addons, you are free to do so.

</div></div>
</vb:if>

Remember change the 3 instances of XX to correspond with the profile field number.

I replaced xx with 5 because it was 5 for me. Added my consumer key as well.

For the consumer key, was I suppose to replace the 1 with the code?

<script src="http://platform.twitter.com/anywhere.js?id=consumer_key&v=1">
</script>

I did the CSS and 1.0.3 CSS part, is that what I was suppose to do?

in step 5 for 1.0.3 CSS, it says

5. Open memberinfo_block_statistics

It is asking me to replace something with another code, but I can't even find the first code that you told me to replace so I just copied the With code and put it at the end of memeberinfo_block_Statistics

Did you replace all the XX's with 5? (there are 3 of them)

No, replace consumer_key with the 21 key consumer code

Yup I replaced all 3 XX with the number 5. I am not sure if there has to be a space between field and the number 5. But I put no space.

I believe the memberinfo is correct, but not sure about the headinclude.

This is what I put in the headinclude:

Gemma · #**105** 01-03-2012, 10:20 PM

Can you link me to the site where you are trying to use it?

Gemma · #**106** 02-07-2012, 11:16 PM

I've removed the non-CSS version and merged all the other edits together (hovercards and tweetbox) to make one version.

tortuga2 · #**107** 02-09-2012, 12:51 AM

thx works great

PHP Code:


			
  <script type="text/javascript">

     twttr.anywhere(function(twitter) {

     twitter.hovercards({ expanded: true });

});

  twttr.anywhere(function (twitter) {

  twitter("#tbox").tweetBox({

  count: true,

  height: 100,

  width: 400,

  label: "Send a tweet",

      });

  });

        </script>

This has an unintended bug I think, it conflicts hard with DBTech's user tagging/mentions. Whenever I mentioned someone, instead of actually mentioning the member in a thread, it was trying to show a Twitter account with a similar name.

If they are both using the @ function, then there could be a conflict. Hmmm, DBTech vs Twitter. That would be an amazing court case. Don't you think?

Um, my mind was a wandering. Sorry nothing I can do about the conflict in mods.
