MyBB Community Forums

Full Version: Submits Your Posts Too Twitter
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
If you would like to have the option of allowing anybody on your own MyBB forum, the option of being able to submit not just a thread (but any post to twitter). This is how you can add this feature below.

Open the template: Post Bit Templates/postbit_author_user

And find this code:

{$post['replink']}{$post['warninglevel']}

Change that code to this below (new code added highlighted in red):

Quote: {$post['replink']}{$post['warninglevel']}<br />
<script src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" type="text/javascript"></script><a href="http://twitter.com/share?url={$mybb->settings['bburl']}/thread-{$tid}-post-{$post['pid']}.html#pid{$post['pid']}&amp;text={$post['subject']}&amp;count=none" class="twitter-share-button">Tweet</a>

If you would like the Twitter button to display a small "counter". Change the part in the code below that says "none" to "horizontal", for a large counter change "none" to "vertical".

&amp;count=none

The code used for this is XHTML W3C valid also.



If instead you would like to show a large counter. Change it to "vertical".

&amp;count=vertical
