insectdude Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Twitter rolled out their new embedded tweets functionality last week: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-tweets It would be nice if we could get a BBCode that both embeds the Javascript version of the tweet, and also fetches the text and includes the HTML in the page so that the tweet content is readable by search engines. Twitter's oEmbed functionality seems to be the way to do that. I don't think this is achieveable via a regular custom BBCode - somebody please correct me if I am wrong. I can think of several useful applications for embedded tweets. On my site for example, we often translate Korean-language tweets into English, and it would be nice to embed the original tweet within the post.

bfarber Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 A custom bbcode can execute any PHP code you wish - I'm not sure why you couldn't do virtually anything with a "regular custom bbcode". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah cool, I did not know this was possible. I stand corrected, thank you. I'll give it a go and see if I can get it working. I still think it would be a nice feature to include as standard though - since you already have a [twitter] bbcode, a [tweet] code is an obvious complement to that.

Pupette Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Has anyone been able to achieve this with a custom BBcode now that the new Twitter (along with embed code) is available to almost everyone? e.g. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Invision Power Services: IP.Board 3.3 Dev Update: Auto-share on posting <a href="https://twitter.com/search/%2523ipboard">#ipboard</a> <a href="http://t.co/LrHPAXWT" title="http://topic.to/2jaq">topic.to/2jaq</a></p>— mattmecham (@mattmecham) <a href="https://twitter.com/mattmecham/status/166883403944296449" data-datetime="2012-02-07T13:57:58+00:00">February 7, 2012</a></blockquote> <script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafskjold Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 One year later, and the answer is still "no". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
