It's a growing online community. If there's a Google interest, it must be important. Right?...

Hi,

I got this error when I tried to install on SMF 1.1.5

3. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php File not found

Is this setup for English-utf8.php and not english.php?

Please let me know, thanks...

Cool, thanks for this mod!

Hi, sorry for taking so long.

You erased Modifications.english.php of your languages default theme folder? Try to upload this file to your server and try again.

Cool, thanks for this mod!  

Thank you

Do you know when you might have this for SMF 2.0 beta 4?

Man.... Feel free (or anyone else) to create a update for this mod to SMF 2. I'll only make one if I move to 2.0, and I won't do that 'till it's a beta version.

ps.: Added a screenshot (using Outline-TP Theme)

how does this work? i looked at the code and it doesn't make a new database field?

[Low]

Doesn't work!

Applies correctly but no twitter icon or text show with no clear instructions for adding your twitter profile. under profile settings it has

MSN
YAHOO
:

I'm assuming the : is for Twitter?

Either way I added my Twitter to it but the image isn't found.

Thanks anyway as once sorted this will be a great mod.

Louis, what language are you using? If it's not english or portuguese-BR, you might want to add this bit of code in your language file:

Code Select Expand

$txt['twitter_title'] = 'Twitter';
            $txt['twitter_desc'] = 'Enter your USERNAME on Twitter (i.e. if your Twitter link is http://www.twitter.com/john_doe, enter john_doe here)';

Also, if you're using other theme than default one, you'll need to change the Profile and Display templates files.

It doesn't, but it works (!)

I've just installed this mod on 1.17 and there's a link to my twitter profile (displays my linked twitter username in text), just no icon. i installed the package via forums. please help! thanks!

[seeson]

Nevermind! I just manually uploaded the twitter.gif to my theme's images folder and it worked.

[blath]

Obrigada!, very nice.

I'm using default  theme version 1.1.7 and encountered that blank Twitter description in the profile page that was described earlier by Low.

I fixed this by simply adding what was added the 'Modifications.english.php' to 'Modifications.english-utf8.php'.

ie

Find:

?>

Add Before:

$txt['twitter_title'] = 'Twitter';
$txt['twitter_desc'] = 'Enter your USERNAME on Twitter (i.e. if your Twitter link is hxxp:www.twitter.com/john_doe [nonactive], enter john_doe here)';

So if anyone encounters this problem there you go.

May want to include this as an option in the instruction set.

Thanks again for the Twitter modification. Have a wonderful 2009.

Where does this mod store the twitter username?

I can't see any database code.

I guess it's not ready for SMF 2.0 yet - shame

Guess right, it isn't. And my plans of updating are: Who wants to code that?
