This plugin brings Twitter @Anywhere functionality to your community by allowing your JomSocial installation to automatically convert Twitter usernames preceded by the “@” symbol posted into hyperlinks or hovercards that connect to the user’s Twitter profile, as well as adding a stylish Tweetbox to your site that allows users to quickly and easily tweet various pieces of community content.
Twitter Hovercards / Links:
Control which areas of your JomSocial installation will be accessed by this plugin. For example: Don't want activity streams parsed with Twitter hovercards or hyperlinks? Easily disable it in the plugin's configuration. You control whether walls, videos, groups, events, profiles, private messages and activity streams are affected by this plugin.
*This functionality requires a free Twitter @Anywhere API Key. Details on receiving one are explained in the documentation.
Stylish Tweetbox:
This plugin also adds a “Tweet this” link on JomSocial photos, photo galleries, videos, user profiles and events (wherever the “Share this” link currently appears) which, when clicked, opens a configurable and stylish-looking jQuery-based Tweetbox with a shortened URL already included.
*This functionality currently does not require you to have a free Twitter @Anywhere API Key. Yay!
