Profile Enhancements - Twitter Updates in Members Profile

Compatible with vBulletin 3.6.x and 3.7.0b3

Okay guys, this is my first 'mod'. It's pretty simple, and a more a workaround than mod... Anyway, here goes:

What this does
This adds a profile field wich is then turned into a twitter output. This means, all twitter updates of your users will be displayed in the users profile.

How to install

Basicly, we add a simple profile field, and then catch it in the output and replace the code. Here goes:

1. Add a Single-Line Text Box via the User Profile Field Manager and name it (for example) Twitter. Leave the rest blank if you like.
2. Go to Style & Templates -> Style Manager -> Choose your style -> Member Info Templates -> memberinfo_customfields
3. Replace the entire content with this:

<if condition="$profilefield[title]=='Twitter'">
<dt class="smallfont"><strong>$profilefield[title]</strong>:</dt>
<div id="twitter_div">
<ul id="twitter_update_list"></ul></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script>
<script text="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/$profilefield[value].json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=3"></script>
<br><dt class="smallfont">You can add me to your friendslist, my username is <strong>$profilefield[value]</strong></dt>
<else />
<dt class="smallfont"><strong>$profilefield[title]</strong>:</dt>
<dd class="smallfont">$profilefield[value]</dd>
</if>

Note the highlights:
1. 'Twitter' must be the same as the name you gave your new profile field
2. count=3 <-- here you can set how many updates to show. Three is a good value.

And finally, click Install if you use this please

Hope you like it, it's simple

Btw.: check out www.twitter.com if you don't know what this is all about

This doesn't work with 3.7.0 Beta 5. There is no memberinfo_customfields.
Presumably code would go in the memberinfo_block_aboutme template? Or is it possible to create a new block?

Can this hack be made compatible with 3.7.0 5?

Can you make it compatible with the latest version winduff?
