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.

just add the code in the footer of your template, it doesn't need to be a plugin and you don't need vbseo

you should be able to custmize the tweetboard by clicking the settings icon.

add the code in the footer, you don't need it as a widget if you don't want to

to bad waiting for an week , get this message if i register again :

Tweetboard account for this website is already registered

[freexav]

the tweetboard integration disappears when I leave CMS or Forum homepage...
any ideas how to restore it to every pages?

[freexav]

when people write a new tweet, there is no reference about my vbulletin website.
How could I fix this?

Best,

It does not work for me when I add the code to my footer. it works in forumhome just fine, but not in the footer or the header.

Edit: I just had to use the full script from tweetboard.com just to get the little tweets tab to even show up. However, nothing happens when you click on it.
