Integration with vBulletin - Tweetboard Integartion (Forum + CMS)

Hello Folks,

This is my 1st ever thread for the modification, so please do guide me if I have done anything wrong at any place.

Well I was searching for the tweetboard integration with our vbulletin 4. I tried to follow the guide available on the tweetboard installation as well, but ended up with error on forum. So tried to figure out myself how to make it work on vb4. To make tweetboard working simply follow these step.

( I assume that you have tweetboard alpha invite.)

==>Forum<==

1. Go to you admin panel --> Styles & Templates --> Style Manager --> (select Your Style) --> Edit Templates --> Forum Display Templates --> Forumhome

2. In forumhome at the end there is </body> tag, simply place the below mentioned code above that tag and you are done.

<script src='http://tweetboard.com/yourtwitteraccount/tb.js' type='text/javascript'>
</script>

==>CMS<==
1. Go to you admin panel --> vBulletin CMS --> Widgets --> Create New Widget --> Widget Type (Static HTML) and Title "Tweetboard. --> Save

2. Now on main Widget screen you see a new widget named "Tweetboard" in last column against it click "Configure"

3. A pop up window appears, input this code in that window:

<script src="http://tweetboard.com/tb.js?v=1.0&user=youtwitterusername"type="text/javascript"></script>

and save.

4. Go to you admin panel --> vBulletin CMS --> Layout Manager --> Home --> Edit -->Widgets --> select "Tweetboard" and introduce as left column at last place.

5. Save and you are done.

See: Demo

Thats it ! I hope it might help some others like me, who don't understand programming like me.

Finally got an invite so I'm using this but isn't there a better way to get this on the CMS than using a widget? The widget shows up as tweetboard at the very bottom so it just doesn't look clean.

Can't a template edit simply be used like on the forum home?

Ok, this code in the footer template will make it so tweetboard works everywhere, pretty nifty: <script src='http://tweetboard.com/yourtwitteraccount/tb.js' type='text/javascript'>
</script>

Then just report the thread instead of bumping it back up after 2.5 years!

I did not report it in case I am wrong or in case there is an alternative. I figured I would mention it and see what others say.

Who cares how old it is.. People still come across old threads through searches all the time.

Also, when you are a moderator you can tell me what to do regarding how I post..

I'm actually glad you posted this, I'm looking for a MOD to feed our twitter posts to the board, if I hadn't of read this, I would have been on a wild goose chase
