BB Code Enhancements - Embed Tweets from Twitter BB Code

As with most BB Codes this should work on all versions of vBulletin including vBCloud.

Will embed tweets as you see here.

Log into your Admin CP go to Custom BB Codes on the side menu, expand it, and choose Add New Bb Code.

On the next page enter the following:

Title: Tweet
BB Code Tag Name: tweet
Replacement:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/abc/status/{param}">Embedded Tweet</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Example: [tweet]642036152850083841[/tweet]
Description: Embeds a Tweet
Use Option: No
Button Image: (Leave blank or find your own icon image)
Remove Tag If Empty: YES
All remaining Yes/No questions - also YES.

And save the BB Code.

Now in a post you can post something like

[tweet]642036152850083841[/tweet]

to embed a tweet.

You find the number by finding the link to the tweet on twitter and taking the number from the link.

For example the link to a tweet might be:

https://twitter.com/fox5ny/status/642037356162256896

So in this case use:

[tweet]642037356162256896[/tweet]

To embed the tweet.

It has worked on vb 4.2.3 too.

Thanks!

Works great. Would be perfect a automatically embed code withot BBCode

:up: Works great in the forum but if you have to edit the post, it does get tricky.

:down: You must click the stay on page in order to perform an edit function.

:down: Also, the tweet seems reloads itself every few seconds sometimes when posting it in vBShout v6.

Can someone verify this? I am using VB 5.1.9

Same thing happens when you try to QUOTE the Tweet in a new post.

This does the same thing for me. It loads the tweet but no one can quote the post with the tweet in it.

Does the issue happen when using the Standard Editor as opposed to the WYSIWYG (Advanced) Editor?

Yes it does.

Anyone's help with this would be great. The mod works very well but the posts cannot be quoted!

Tried this and it works great for the tweet, but any text after the tweet gets hyperlinked. Any ideas?

See post #10 for the solution. The A tag wasn't closed off in the original post for some reason.
