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.

You don't need a CMS widget to make this work on Forums. Just take the line of code and place it in your FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY template or any other template you want it to show up in.

Just take the line of code and add it at the end to an existing widget.

I installed this mod, then went to http://tweetboard.com/alpha/#tb to request a free alpha invite.

When do I get approved?

As it is now, when I go to my site and click the "Tweet" button, it slides to the side and gives me an error that says:

---------------------
The Tweetboard account not found
Please check tweetboard.com to create an account.
---------------------

Ideas?

Is there any support for this mod at all? How do I get approved for tweetboard? I applied, but NOTHING.

If it has been 14 days or longer, submit a ticket on their support board and they'll add you very quickly (within a few hours).

Thank you, I will do just that.

Thanks M@tt!
