Tweet BBCode

[glennrocksvb]

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

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:

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

[glennrocksvb]

Ok I'm looking into it.

Ok, I tried going to Twitter and copy the Tweet URL using the Share icon at the bottom of the tweet post and I see the same querystring. It seems this is Twitter's way to track how many times a tweet is shared? It doesn't break the Tweet BBCode, does it?

It does. For me it just shows up as blank.

That is called URL querystring. After you copy the Tweet URL on Twitter, paste it in a text editor. Do you see that querystring?

I doubt this is a plug in issue. Others dont have this problem. But when i copy a link from twitter...for some reason code is being added to it.

For instance the bolded part. I always have to delete the question mark and everything after it to get it to post a tweet. I use Chrome. But tested it with firefox and it does the same thing. My guess is its my macbook? Which is up to date.

I also can't get a button to show up on the editor.

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:

<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="{param}",a,e=document.getElementsByTagName("script"),e=e[e.length-1],f;if(/^http[s]*:\/\//.test(b)){a=document.createElement("a");a.href=b;b=a.pathname.substring(a.pathname.lastIndexOf("/")+1)}f=e.parentNode.querySelector('[data-tweet-param="{param}"]: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:

Stupid newbie question here. Do we copy the entire code to put in the Replacement field? That's what I did, but I haven't been able to get it to work yet.

work great on 5.6.3
thank you

[lange]

The code work on my 3.8.11 and 5.6.1 forums. It's the same code. It work with activated parameter/option. Probably, it work on vB4 too.

Starting to think it was a twitter issue....I don't know.

[lottidah]

Doesn't seem to work here either?
