UKBL ~ Twitter profile link on Postbit ~ Clickable !!
Member on Twitter? Show other members that you have a Twitter presance by adding a Twitter Icon to your postbit
Not been on for a while but i've had numerous requests for this Twitter hack so here we go....
This is a cool hack which will let your members add a Twitter Icon to their Postbit template, They need to add their Twitter Profile user name in their userCP for this to show, If they don't enter one, then the badge don't show
Runs along the same lines as the Facebook Hack, so if you've installed that, you'll love this
Its really easy to do, as always, so if your sitting comfortably, lets begin
Now we need to create a User Custome field, so.....
AdminCP and add a custom field > User Profile fields > Add New User Profile Field
Title = Twitter User Name
Description = Enter Your Twitter username from your Twitter User Profile
Default Value = Leave empty
Max length of allowed user input = 20
Display Size = 10
Display Order = 10 or 15
Field Required = No as default
Field Editable by User = Yes in case member wants to delete, Later
Private Field = No
Field Searchable on Members List = No
Show on Members List = Yes
Regular Expression = leave empty
Save the field
Once you've saved you can see what the field number is, So lets say its Field11 for example, Remember this as will need it for your Postbit Edits
Thats the first bit done, now Part Two
Go to the template you are using in Styles & Templates/Style Manager, and select Edit templates.
Go to "postbit templates" and select the template you are using, either postbit or postbit_legacy.
Find the following
Code:
<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div class="postbit">$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>
Code:
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6, 7, 9)"> <if condition="$post['field11']"> <a href="https://twitter.com/$post[field11]"> <img alt="My Twitter" border="0" src="attach/images/misc/stub.png" border="0"/> </if></if>
Code:
attach/images/misc/stub.png
They are in .gif and .png, use the ones you feel happiest with
Now when members sign up their Twitter badge and enter their profile user ID into the "Enter your twitter username from your Twitter User Profile" section in their UserCP, The Badge will automatically appear in their Postbit
Don't forget to change the usergroup condition with the number of the usergroups that you want to be able to view this
Code:
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6, 7, 9)">
Members who do not add a user id will not be shown anything.
Next, Upload the Twitter icon to your forums/images/misc folder and add the full url to the part in the code which shows the image.
if you are just seeing a red cross on your postbit, then its because your image url is not right
Oh Forgot to say, Badge is fully clickable so members can click directly to Twitter
Please Click Installed and I'll support you 100%
Thanks
