MyBB Community Forums

This is a MyBB Forum Plugin which allows users to sync their twitter accounts with their forum accounts. The basics include:

• MyTwitterBB Global - This allows users to display a simple little twitter feed wherever they want on the forum.
  
• MyTwitterBB Profile - This allows users to change their usertitle and keep it up to date with their own twitter profile as it updates whenever the admin allows it to be.
  

Download Version 2.4 here

Installation

NOTE: If you have version any previous version of MyTwitterBB then please backup your users twitter account names as this update requires a proper re-install of all fields and data. So any usernames used would be lost. This should hopefully be the last time that we do it as i have just implemented code to support upgrades.

All you need to do is to upload "mytwitterbb.php" into your "inc/plugins/" folder on your forum. Then find it in your forum admin section and then activate the plugin.

By default both of the MyTwitterBB Global and Profile sections are by default on. You can disable either one if you wish.

To Use MyTwitterBB Global

Once installed and activated you need to go to your Configuration>Settings area and then select MyTwitterBB Global. This will show you a whole list of settings. You need to enter in a twitter username first and then save the settings. Then you will need to find a good place on your forum to stick the box. Just go to your templates, find where you want to put it and then type in {$template->mytwitterbb} and then it should show up.

To Use MyTwitterBB Profile

To use this all you need to do is to vist your User Control Panel and then click Edit Profile. There should then be a section called "Twitter Username" enter in a valid twitter username and then hit save. This will then update your usertitle, remember that by default it will update itself every hour unless specified by the forum admin.
