I was thinking maybe if was possible to add a Twitter widget that can feed tweets from Lakers Players & Beat Writers. I've seen it on other forums. Just my 2 cents

Well most here or at least myself use hoopshype. Its pretty good but a twitter feed here would be kinda cool though it would probably be a big project. Not sure how hard doing those are.

I setup a LakerNation twitter that automatically receives the RSS feeds from the community forums and the LakerNation homepage blog.
https://twitter.com/LakerFeed

It so happens dlvr "delivers" a widget to go with the automatic feeds.

<script type="text/javascript">
DlvrWidget({
width:300,
items:5,
widgetbg:'a80aa8',
widgetborder:'faae20',
titlecolor:'ffae00',
containerbg:'F9F9F9',
containerborder:'CCCCCC',

}).render();
</script>

Just trying to save the admins/mods the trouble. If it is so desired, it would be easy to do for the admins in the admin panel through the hooks or plugins for "Custom Sidebar Content", and insert the HTML. However, it seems redundant to me to have that widget when the "Latest Topic" hook is in place. The widget is available regardless in the above block.

Cool. We can add 3 more RSS feeds to automatically post to the twitter. So like, Hoopshype? What else guys?

He's talking about a feed that is embedded, as a hook, into the sidebar that pulls from selected Twitter accounts.

So, for example, I install a Twitter hook that has multiple options to pull from the accounts of:

LakerNation
Kobe Bryant
Ron Artest
Dwight Howard

And so on...to stack them into that hook, and spit out their tweets.

^ That would be beyond amazing.

Alright, I'm looking for a Twitter mirrorer and will add them onto that feed. It'd essentially be the same thing, all the Tweets going into one sidebar hook...

I can make all the Tweets and RSS feeds mirror to a central Twitter which will "re-tweet" / post the RSS feed, and then that can be added to the sidebar as pasting in HTML. If the sidebar is wanted, having a central Twitter account with many feeds would be cool alone (imo). Someone may pick something up from someone they weren't subscribed to.

Alright, scratch that. Lol.



Thanks for being the prime follower, Bjork. It was good while it lasted.

Would you be willing to set that up??

I'll look into it. I'm designing a skin for another site right now, need it done ASAP.

There is a free "WeTweet" IPB hook floating around somewhere. May be useful in the future after that skin is finished.
