You could do it on the full URL. Not on the others because it's scary-easy to trip over other things... like email addresses and partial URLs.

It's like embedding youtube videos. Sure you could BBCode it but when you post the link and video magically appears its even better. Also not everyone posting in forum communities are that computer savvy.

Not savvy? Thats why there's a "help" button on the menu

Okay, I'll see about auto-embed.

You try telling that to 60+ year old guys who type with 1 finger lol. I'm just saying some people don't even know what BBC is or how to use it. They do know how to copy and paste though.

If you're implying about the hashtags you could simply enter in the full URL for that.

Not just hashtags but also the @ references. In fact in terms of auto embed, you're pretty much JUST talking the full URL only.

You don't have to know about bbcode explicitly, you can do it through the buttons above the posting area, which does the hard work of bbcode (the actual code) for you.

There are no buttons in quick reply and I don't see the difference between bbc'ing it or embeding it. Isn't there some type of code that would automatically wrap the link in the bbc?

Arantor · June 08, 2010, 03:12:09 AM

There's a world of difference.

If you're doing some kind of auto embedding, you have to have something to search in the code, and since @ and # are both already parts of existing structures which are already searched for and get linked in SMF itself (auto linking hits both email addresses and URLs), you have that to deal with.

Long story short: yes you can write some code to automatically link but it won't be particularly reliable. A carefully crafted regular expression might get you some of the way but that's really not that efficient, unless you drop it into the pre-parse step and store it on saving, which gives you a whole other world of problems to avoid.

Anyway, Liam, why this bbcode doesn't work on second messages (or after)?

It works only on first message (creating a new topic).

Does this might be a conflict with Ajax quick reply mod?

Liam. · June 08, 2010, 03:19:24 PM

Hmm... Weird. I'll have a look into that. Should have no conflict with AJAX Quick Reply, but I'll see...

Arantor · June 08, 2010, 03:35:32 PM

Except that it uses AJAX through jQuery does it not?

Liam. · June 08, 2010, 03:56:56 PM

Yes, but if it's already loading it once on the page, shouldn't stop it loading a second time...

Arantor · June 08, 2010, 04:00:14 PM

Actually, yes it can. Especially if you're having two separate things messing around with AJAX/general Javascript that were never intended to work together.

I love this mod for its utility, what a great idea. I am currently using the "tweetme" option in my sig and although the tweets update okay, the time on them arent updating. For example, a tweet which was sent 5 mins ago, on the display in my sig it says sent 22 hours ago and has a null link to an undefined page when i click the time. What can be causing this?

KensonPlays · September 05, 2010, 05:51:58 PM

Wow! I would like this in conjunction with that twitter site that broadcasts instead of twitter mod. ill install asap!

crustybum · November 24, 2010, 12:05:23 PM

wow this is just what i am looking for.................but for 1.1.11.............

BPLive · October 10, 2011, 11:58:29 PM

All Colours Sam · October 11, 2011, 10:37:30 AM

I haven't had the chance to update this one, mostly because is not that popular, will do when I finish some other things.

THE BRA1N · November 20, 2011, 07:58:29 PM

Hi,

First of all I'd like to appreciate the work of the developers, the mod is really cool.

However I have a problem. When I'm trying to use the bbcode [tweet] it fails, at the post I can see the box of the tweet but there only appears "loading undefined" and then "error undefined". We tried several times with the same result. On the other hand the other bbcodes are working fine, so I don't have no idea why it isn't working...

This one for example doesn't work:

[tweet]http://twitter.com/#!/Radomiro_Antic/status/157940464476098560[/tweet] [nofollow]

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
