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.

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

actually tweetboard is still giving alpha invite, well people, let me clear one thing, if you don't get the invite and your request is not approved, your tweets can not be triggered from your a/c. As tweet button would show, but as you don't have a/c at backend, so in the end micro forum will not be in working condition.

Question: Is this just something I have seen or does everyone else experience it also.

Now keep in mind I only have 10 twitter followers.

How events transpire:
log in to my site and look at the who is on. 2 users and 2 guests (Spiders)

Tweet with tweet board.

wait 3 minutes

look at who is on 2 users and 32 guests WTF????

This happens every time I tweet, not one of those guests has registered. If I had 300-400 followers I may understand but I have 10, so how am i getting 30 visitors from tweetboard?

I've bought enough w/VB.

They said 1-14 days on invites.

It's been 7 days exactly so far.

I'm sure it will come, prolly alot of people asking.
