Add Twitter Id field to comment form in 5 easy steps

Add Twitter Id field to comment form

Did you ever try to add Twitter username to you comment box. To share your instant updates to all and get more twitter friends with good exposure. If you installed your blog, readers like to add it so that they can promote their site or product and at the same time get exposure by many people within the same category. There are many plug-in for wordpress came. But this new plugin actually worked for my theme (support wordpress2.8 installed). Yesterday , i going through new plug-in in wordpress and found “ twitterlink comment” which is realised by commentluv.

From various authors many plug-in realised .in case of my theme its not working. But the previous plugins are work well with thesis theme/framwork and their child theme. When i tried to install my comment box -collapsed and some theme features are not responding. But this plug-in is very good. I tried it and no errors for me. – lets digg into tutorials –

Easy steps:

1. Backup your files(optional- not needed, mainly index.php and config.php).

2. Download plugin from TwitterLink Comments.

Install to your blog through FTP or directly and activate it.

“- this plugin add table called (yourprefix)_wptwitipid “

3. go to TwitterLink Comments page under settings menu.

[This plugin adds an extra field for the comment author to add your Twitter username].

4.There is two option for you, YES OR NO

If you don’t want to mess with the coding then choose “ YES” and save it.

Just select Yes and if you need you can change the option for link fomart,twitter link position, and field desicrption. Remember this option put your twitter ID field after the submit button. And with blue dialog box. Try it yourself.

Result :

5. it seems not good with the background, and my suggestion is to add under the website link field. Select option “ NO” from the settings and save it.

Now open the comment.php from editor and search the “ website “ and below that add the following code. or above the code also your wish.

<p><input id="atf_twitter_id" type="text" name="atf_twitter_id" > Twitter ID <br><small>(ID only. No links or "@" symbols)</small>

Save it and Spread this to your more twiiter addict friends.

      ya this ine is easy, and i added your link in post for thesis framework using users. so that they can use that in easy way.

  10. TwitterLink is a nice plugin, instead of saying no to auto install just for background you can customize the division named twitlink.

    Will save time from customizing the comment template.

      Abhishek this is first try on codings. not familiar with codings. so i used to no and added the codings to the template. and it worked. because i have added some other code,so i dnot want to riun that :) ,
      thanks for the comment

  11. great tutorial!
    one suggestion, if you’re adding the code yourself, you might want to put tabindex=”4″ in the twitter field so it is natural for user to tab from name,email,site and then to twitter field.

    thanks for sharing how to add the field manually, I’m sure many people will appreciate it!

  23. I am looking for a solution to add a Twitter field, but where possible I try to stay away from plugins. I think Smashing Magazine (or was it Problogger) also offered a solution for this by modifying the theme’s comment template. Just in case anyone’s interested.

  26. I have a problem with mine in the back-end when I set it to be placed manually it wont stay like that. And you will get an extra field below the comment-form that has a class with bg-color lightBlue that I don’t know how to change it. I can’t find where it is actually written to edit e. Really weird, any idea what the cause of this could be?
