Tweet BBCode

[lange]

Removed, I don't want to confuse people with a different code.

That's an alternative Tweet BBCode but that's for a Twitter account's timeline and not for individual tweets. In most cases, forum users would want to post a specific tweet into a forum post.

Fixed and updated code in the first post.

Here's a sample tweet URL with querystring parameters:

Also updated the BBCode on this site so you can test it here.

Just to add that your code works perfectly. I tested yesterday. It is also possible to achieve the same goal by using the option tag.

not showing up on firefox

[glennrocksvb]

I checked and I confirmed that Firefox is not showing the embedded tweet. After investigating, Firefox is blocking Social Media trackers (which include Twitter) by default using the default "Strict" mode for Enhanced Tracking Protection option.

If you click the shield icon next to the SSL lock icon in the Firefox address bar, you will see "Social Media Trackers" is blocked. If you expand it, you will see the Twitter API URL. If you want to change the security settings, click "Manage protection settings" and switch from "Strict" to "Standard" and then click "Reload All Tabs" and then check that the embedded tweet should now be displayed.

One way to integrate social media with forums is to embed tweets from Twitter into forum posts.

Go to AdminCP > Custom BB Codes > Add New BB Code and enter the following information:

Title: Tweet
BB Code Tag Name: tweet
Replacement: (Updated code as of 02/26/22 to fix issue for Tweet URL with querystring parameters)

<div data-tweet-param="{param}"></div><script>(function(){function k(a,c){var d=Element.prototype;return(d.matches||d.webkitMatchesSelector||d.mozMatchesSelector||d.msMatchesSelector||function(a){return-1!==[].indexOf.call(document.querySelectorAll(a),this)}).call(a,c)}function g(a,c){return a?k(a,c)?a:"HTML"===a.tagName?null:g(a.parentNode,c):null}var b,u=`{param}`.replace(/<br\s*[\/]?>/gi, '').replace(/\r|\n/g,'').replace(new RegExp(unescape('%26amp;'), 'g'),unescape('%26')),a,e=document.getElementsByTagName("script"),e=e[e.length-1],f;if(/^http[s]*:\/\//.test(u)){a=document.createElement("a");a.href=u;b=a.pathname.substring(a.pathname.lastIndexOf("/")+1)}f=e.parentNode.querySelector('[data-tweet-param*="'+u+'"]:empty');(a=g(f,".js-post"))?a=a.getAttribute("data-node-id"):(a=g(f,".js-post-sm"),a=a?a.getAttribute("data-nodeid"):Math.floor(Math.random()*10000));a="t_"+(a||"")+"_"+b;window[a]=function(a){f.innerHTML=a.html;a=f.getElementsByTagName("script");for(var c,d=document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0],b=0;b<a.length;b++)a[b].src?(c=document.createElement("script"),c.src=a[b].src,d.appendChild(c)):eval(a[b].textContent)};var h=document.createElement("script");h.src="https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/oembed.json?id="+b+decodeURIComponent("%26")+"callback="+a;e.parentNode.appendChild(h)})();</script>

Example: [tweet]TweetUrlOrTweetIdHere[/tweet]
Other Options: Select Yes to all starting from "Remove Tag If Empty" option (for Button Image option, you could specify image path. If specified, a new button for this BB Code will appear in the editor)

Demo:
This tweet:
[tweet]https://twitter.com/noypiscripter/status/758114543033647104[/tweet]

or just using the Twitter Post ID

[tweet]758114543033647104[/tweet]

will be rendered as:

To get the Tweet URL, go to a tweet on Twitter, click on the 3 dots icon below the tweet, choose "Copy link to Tweet" and then copy the URL.

Other sample:

Hello Glenn. I am writing this message because none of the icons that I put in the bbcode work right. With the tiktok one, in the preview, it looks correct. However, when I go to post it, I only get the actual tiktok line. I was wondering what I am doing wrong.

None of them work correctly. How can I fix this?

[glennrocksvb]

Is this the same issue you had for TikTok BBCode in the other post or is this issue for Twitter BBCode?

[DOSO]

Yeah. I figured it out. Once I turned everything from No to Yes underneath the button image option, twitter, and instagram worked. Once I put in only the numbers for TikTok, it started to work.
