XF 1.5 Follow a posters Twitter account?

[Orzo Network]

Title is worded badly.

Basically, I want to make a field where a user adds there twitter (which already exists) but I want to make a twitter follow button for that user below/on threads/posts he makes.

I want to be able to allow users to gain a following though my forum. Is there an easy way to do this or more custom?

Thanks.

P.S. Any other social media stuff, say there facebook page or something could be good too, but focusing on twitter for now.

Maybe you could try something with custom profile fields and a template edit. I'm not sure how to do it exactly, maybe someone else will know exactly how to do the code, but I'm guessing it will be something like

<ahref="http://twitter.com/{call to custom profile field}">follow</a>

Was hoping for some sort of follow button with twitter. But that could work!

Just replace the 'follow' text with an IMG tag

A button that appears when the 'twitter' field is filled in and puts the twitter name in the button code.
