XF 2.2 Twitter?

Rdimaggio · Sep 12, 2023

Is there a way to make the Twitter links embed into posts as they used to after the stupid change to X.com?

I think you could mass replace the twitter domain across the post table by x.com

Two solutions:
Update media site
Install s9e BBCode media sites.

Reference:

XF 2.2 - Twitter (now X) no longer auto embedding

It looks like Twitter (now X), is having new post come from X.com instead of Twitter.com, this is now breaking auto embeds. Anyone have a fix, or so we have to wait for an Xenforo update?

BBcode media site:

id = x

name = X

Site URL = https://twitter.com (they don't seem to have change that yet)

Match URLs

Code:

x.com/*/status/{$id}
x.com/statuses/{$id}
twitter.com/*/status/{$id}
twitter.com/statuses/{$id}

Embed URL

Code:

<xf:page option="jsState.twitter" value="{{ true }}" />
<xf:js src="xf/embed.js" min="1" />

<div class="bbMediaJustifier bbCode-tweet"
      data-media-site-id="{$siteId}"
      data-media-key="{$id}"
      data-xf-init="tweet"
      data-tweet-id="{$id}"
      data-lang="{$xf.language.language_code}"
      data-theme="{{ property('styleType') }}"
      ><a href="https://x.com/i/web/status/{$id}" rel="external" target="_blank">
    <i class="fab fa-twitter" aria-hidden="true"></i> https://x.com/i/web/status/{$id}</a></div>

EDIT: I made a new BBcode media site named X and disable Twitter but you could probably just edit the Twitter one. EDIT: doing that will not survive upgrades see below...

Don't edit the default one it won't survive through upgrades.

Yes but I thought if it is upgraded, it will be ungraded to work with X

This did not work for me, I created a new site called X and I tried with twitter enabled and disabled, nothing shows up.

same, embed is just empty

Rdimaggio · Oct 3, 2023

well, I guess we wait for a software update.

I assumed that an update would be released quickly and this fix would be included.

Yes it should be fixed.

Fixed Thread '"twitter" BbCodeMediaSite missing x.com in match_urls'

Sep 18, 2023

We're starting to see Twitter links that use x.com instead of twitter.com posted on our forums, despite the fact that x.com redirects to twitter.com. The "Share" button on tweets now gives an x.com URL. As such, match_urls should be updated to include x.com.

Other XF customers also appear to be encountering this issue: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/twitter-now-x-no-longer-auto-embedding.215985/

Temporary workaround:

SQL:

update xf_bb_code_media_site set match_urls = 'twitter.com/*/status/{$id}\ntwitter.com/statuses/{$id}\nx.com/*/status/{$id}\nx.com/statuses/{$id}'...

Fixed Post in thread '"twitter" BbCodeMediaSite missing x.com in match_urls'

Sep 19, 2023

Thank you for reporting this issue, it has now been resolved. We are aiming to include any changes that have been made in a future XF release (2.2.14).

Change log:

Update Twitter BB code media site to support x.com URLs and update some branding to X, rather than Twitter.

There may be a delay before changes are rolled out to the XenForo Community.
