Tweet BBCode

Btw, the Tweet BBCode here accepts either the full tweet URL or just the tweet post id. That is mentioned in the first post.

On desktop you also have to choose Paste as plain text option. That's how rich text editors behave. If you copied a formatted text, it will also be pasted as formatted. This happens on MSWord or any rich text editor. You have to explicitly choose the plain text option when pasting.

iPhone 6s+. It doesn't work on desktop either?

And in Android 8 (Oreo), it offers a "Paste as Plain Text" option if the copied text in the clipboard is formatted.

What mobile OS are you using? I tried it on Android and pasting Tweet link copied from Twitter app doesn't turn the url into a link.

When I copy and paste a twitter link from desktop, nothing shows up. When I use mobile, it pastes it as a link so it adds [URL] tags and messes up the formatting. So I have to edit the post and take out the [URL] tags for tweet to embed. Was there and update to this? (I'm on the cloud)

Praying for the day we can just copy and paste a tweet without using BBCodes. I think VB is the only one left as far as forums go that makes us do this.

Thank you for all your help with this. Really appreciate it.

[glennrocksvb]

It should work in any forum as long as the tweet is public.

[LewisNixon]

Thanks, I should probably ask this as well, my site is made up of private forums, will the Twitter code work on private forums or do they need to be open to guests?

[glennrocksvb]

Wrong format. Check the sample in the first post.

I am probably doing something wrong but when I test this all I get is plain text like this: TWEET=https://twitter.com/historylvrsclub/status/963374446030606341][/TWEET] and it tells me I must post at least 1 character in the message. I am on VBCloud. Thanks.

Glad to hear there is no problem now. It generally takes time for the usergroup promotion cron job to run and update your usergroup and thus update your permissions.

Why can not I see the code? I can only read: Code:
Users awaiting moderation or email confirmation and banned users are not allowed to view the code. Thank you.

OK, no problem now.

That's odd. Are you able to copy the Tweet URL?
