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.

See: Demo

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

Why do we need a blank widget on the CMS? With the tweetboard already on the left hand side.

I have added it to our forums, adding the template code in forumhome, forumdisplay and showthread templates, is there no way to add it to CMS without the blank widget?

Ok i have not got this running yet as awaiting for my tweetboard to go live but i have it showing on a test site without using the blank widget.

I donkt know if this is the right thing to do as i am not a coder but what i done is edit the template called vbcms_page.
Just above

</body>

Iput in this code

<script src="http://tweetboard.com/tb.js?v=1.0&user=youtwitterusername"type="text/javascript"></script>

It looks like it should work but as i said i am no coder and this might be the wrong thing to do so only do it at your own risk.

i want a tweetboard invite.

[jaffaman]

Just go to http://tweetboard.com and click on the request a free alpha invite

The advice above with the invite code worked a treat as did the guide from this Mod.
Thanks, so glad I have this installed now!

Surely there must be a way to get rid of the empty widget in order for this come up though?
