XF 1.3 How do I create BB code to embed tweets in posts?
- Thread starter TheBigK

Put this in the <head> section of your template (bear in mind it is only required in the places you wish to display a message, so 'post' templates)
Use this as the HTML replacement:
This will allow you to include an individual Twitter message by including the full link between two tags.
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://plataform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
Code:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" width="370">[Javascript is not enabled. <a href="$1">Click here to view this on Twitter</a>]</blockquote>This will allow you to include an individual Twitter message by including the full link between two tags.

There is a better way to achieve this by adding Twitter as a BB Code Media Site.
There is an add-on somewhere that can add it for you: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/twitter-mediasite-bbcode.1390/
I may be wrong, but by using the details above, the the Tweet will not parse if you use a quick reply (it would only display if you reload the page).
Do you mean this one? http://xenforo.com/community/resources/twitter-mediasite-bbcode.1390/
It seems to be outdated. As a result I get this: http://puu.sh/8BDgM/865dc31b78.png
And if I try to edit the post this errorlog pop up: http://puu.sh/8BDaS/f970a56a5d.png
I've also tried to add the media site manually but I got the same issue. :/
I've found the "issue". Isn't really one but nvm. 
If someone else has the same problem with Twitter MediaSite BBcode just delete the comment arrows in the bbms_twitter_XFormer template after the installation is complete.
Should look like this:
<!--<script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>-->
<!--
If you have the twitter button deactivated and you want to use the official twitter
oembed api + twitter widget.js to build the tweet remove the comment arrows right
at the beginning and end of the first line..which would only leave the following
example: <script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
-->
<script>$(".twitter-tweet").css("border","1px solid {xen:property primaryLighterStill}");</script>
<script>$(".twitter-tweet").css("border-radius", "7px");</script>
<script>$(".twitter-tweet").css("box-shadow", "0px 0px 7px 0px {xen:property primaryDarker}");</script>
<script>$(".twitter-tweet").children("p").css("border-bottom", "3px double {xen:property primaryLighterStill}"), ;</script>
