Tweet BBCode

[lange]

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

Fixed and updated code in the first post.

Here's a sample tweet URL with querystring parameters:

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.

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?

Anyone else noticing the Tweet BB code isn't displaying Tweets properly? It only displays the text of the Tweet and not the formatted Tweet.

Having the same issue on my VB6 forum - have recent VB upgrades broken the BB Code?

[glennrocksvb]

The Twiiter JS API is returning 404 Not Found error. They might have changed the API location since they changed to X or they did deprecated the old Twitter API.

[glennrocksvb]

I'll research for the new X API and update the BBCode.

Seems like the Twitter BBCode is now working. I didn't have to make any change. Maybe there was just a glitch on Twitter side before.

[04wayne]

I can confirm it's working again on my site too, thanks for confirming Glenn.

This does not work for me.
