Is it possible to have something like the above on a phpBB2 forum, with the follower stats? Appreciate the help.

Do you have that code from twitter?

by Hardcore Gamer August 14th 2012, 12:06 pm

I'm not sure, how do I get the code?

Okay, cool. But where do I put the code once I have it? This seems to be really complex, I don't get it... even after reading it.

You could add it to a widget.

Or add it to Homepage message

I'll try that. But there are so many codes on that website, which one do I use?

by Sanket August 16th 2012, 10:23 am

Any one which you like, each display it differently. Its your personal choice.

I've just done that, but how would I be able to move it to left left instead of it being in the center? Also, how do I remove the border the homepage message has?

Thanks for the help so far.

Forum URL please?

Also the exact code that you added?

I want the button above "Your last visit was on...", on the left there.

Its added on my test forum.

Firstly, remove the code you added on the homepage message.

Go into Display>Templates>General
Click on Edit

corresponding to index_box
Find this in the code.

Code::

Just before this code, you can add the following code.

Code:: <a href="https://twitter.com/mylink" class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="true" data-lang="en">Follow @twitterapi</a> <script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script><br>

Hit Save.
Then Publish the template.
