New Posting Features - Twitter BBCode

Information:

• Allows you to embed a Tweet in a post using only the ID.
• You can reply, retweet, follow, etc. directly from inside the post.
• Uses Twitter's oEmbed endpoint.

Usage:
[tweet]<id>[/tweet]

Known Bugs:
On vB4 there is currently an issue with the AJAX quick edit form while in Standard Editor mode. If you want to use the Standard Editor, you will need to do the fix listed below.

Fix For The Bug Listed Above: (vB4 only) in /clientscripts/ckeditor/ckeditor.js line 134 change:

for(command in y)q.getCommand(y[command]).setState(2);

to

for(command in y){if(!typeof y[command] === "undefined"){q.getCommand(y[command]).setState(2);}}

Install:
Read the install.txt file in the .zip. It is very simple.

Note: I changed the tag from twitter to tweet because I noticed someone already is using twitter.

Yeah, the Twitter toolbar part should be simple but I haven't done a lot of javascript work and I don't know any YUI so I am counting on someone else from the community helping out.

I'll keep working on it, though.

Ok, I posted a temporary fix. I'll try to pinpoint why there is an undefined object being added to teh array, but for now this should fix it.

Works on 3.8 as well. Not sure if the strip_bbcode hook does anything, but everything else is functional.

Lovely, but for some reason on 4.2 it won't give your fancy look like in the screenshot. Works nicely, just no formatting, acts like indented text in the post

Just testing a new feature!

Did you include the javascript line that is in the install.txt file? Just need to put it at the bottom of your headinclude file.

Indeed! However, mine had a slight edit from a previous mod long removed. Replaced that with the new one, fixed. Heh. Thanks man!

No problem. I was honestly surprised someone hadn't already written it. It seems like something that could work out pretty well on a lot of installs.
