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.
Preview:



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 is probably not the mod discussion for this question, but would it be possible to somehow have people's Tweets show up in their signature, without enabling HTML in signatures? Could this mod somehow be used to achieve that?

Any idea if this will be updated for 3.7?

I also support for an update to 3.7 for a memberinfo block would be amazing.

That would be SWEET!

I'm also all for a 3.7 version, too!

Hmm... useful hack but I can't seem to get it working on my vb version.

Suppose i'll have to stick with members using http://twittertag.com (creates a sig like image for forum sigs) for now. :-(
