CMS How to create a Twitter Widget!
 

I noticed a few posts having issues with creating a Twitter widget for use with the CMS. I managed to figure it out and will share it with those that are interested and newbies like myself.

1. Go to your twitter page select > settings > profile

2. Under the WEB URL block click "you can also add twitter to your site here"

3. Select widget "for my website", choose the widget type you want, I chose Profile Widget

4. Complete the settings, preferences, appearance, and dimensions info to suit your taste

5. Select "Test Settings" to see if it is how you want it to appear, then select "finish and grab code"

6. Go to VB admin control panel and select vbulletin CMS > widgets

7. Scroll to the bottom and select "create new widget"

8. Under widget type select "static html", enter a name (twitter) and description for the widget and save the widget.

9. Now find the widget (twitter) in the list of widgets and select "configure"

10. In the static html window paste the code you copied from twitter and select save.

11. Now go to vbulletin CMS > layout manager and select edit > go for your current layout

12. from the window to the left find your widget (twitter) then click the arrow > to add it to the layout, move it to where you want it and save the layout.

hope this helps!!!
