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)

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

so i have to view the post with twitter code by : clicking the thread again?

It doesn't show immediately because as you can see it's JavaScript based. JavaScripts are loaded when the page loads... when you add a new post the page doesn't re-load it just gets added via AJAX so you will need to reload the page to see it... this isn't a big deal since anyone else viewing the page will had to have reloaded it before seeing this. All JavaScript based BB Codes have the same limitation.

That said, looks good... tagged for now.

Here is a 20x20 icon for this:

Unfortunately, it doesn't work on 4.2.1 :\
