Announcement

After a review of the current levels of Twitter usage on communities, Khoros will be ending our support of the Twitter integration in Community Classic. At this time, there are no plans to replace the current functionality in Classic or Aurora. As we evaluate the 2024 roadmap later this year, share your thoughts or any questions you might have on the Twitter integration. 

This change will be automatically applied to all communities from 23.7 release onward. With this change, community members and admins will no longer be able to:

  • Set or view Twitter streams in the community
  • Create a topic from a tweet and tweet back to the Twitter author
  • Tweet from your community Twitter account
  • Create a Twitter badge

Additionally, the settings related to Twitter Integration will be turned off and removed from the Community Admin.

You Found it! We Fixed it!

General fixes

  • Previously, in Communities v22.12, spam posts appeared on the Spam Quarantine page even after 30 days. This issue is fixed. Now, spam posts are removed from the Spam Quarantine page after 30 days. 

  • Previously, in communities that run on various Horizontal Scale (HS) nodes, when community admins tried to move a board to another category, the Community Structure failed to update the change in all HS nodes. This issue is fixed. Now, when a board is moved, the Community Structure is updated on all HS nodes. 

  • Previously, members who used core SAML could not add custom decorators for SSO authentication flow. This issue is fixed. Now, members can add decorators via custom plugin to the ongoing SSO authentication flow.

Accessibility fixes

  • Previously, the Aria label was not defined for the tables that were present on the community home page. As a result, the screen reader did not read the name of the tables. This issue is now fixed.

    This seems like a good move!

    BUT - we currently use one of the Twitter-related permissions for a different purpose (a permission hack); will the permission completely go away? (if so, I'll need to find a different useless-to-us permission to use, and I'll need to update about 100 roles with the new useless-to-us permission)

    Hi Caroline,
    With the Twitter Integration EOL, the associated twitter integration permissions would also be removed from the community admin.

    CarolineS - a thought flew past whilst thinking about your "useless-to-us" permission. I can't think of a use-case for me like this *YET* but I could see how it might be useful for unique business cases.

    I wonder if an Idea to submit might be something similar to the Custom Content placeholders except sitting in the permissions stack?

    Say 5 permission flags that just sit there - latent - and are ONLY designed for the one-off use-cases such as yours?

    Someone with lots of permissions experience (or lots of complex permissions) may find a well-reasoned fault with this idea but...if it could be named/described by the admin sorta like custom Roles?

    I'm not thinking this all the way through - in the interest of putting it out there before I forget - so even though it *sounds* like maybe a useful knob it is also making my complexity sensor glow red...like an opportunity for some serious complexity especially if there are board level roles in place (like we have)?

    If the answer isn't obvious, to more experienced or logical folks, I'm happy to write up an idea to flesh it out.

    Hi classen ,

    With the 23.7 release, all Twitter integration use cases including embedding tweets into posts would not be supported.

    If you want to re-enable it then you can pop this bit of code in your pages head or the hitbox:

     

    <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

     

    Then you would be able to use any embed code i.e.:

     

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Could the future of buying a laptop be about to change forever, check it out <a href="https://t.co/bRW99z0nuX">https://t.co/bRW99z0nuX</a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/HighlyUogradableLaptops?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#HighlyUogradableLaptops</a></p>&mdash; Allen Smith (@Allensmith81) <a href="https://twitter.com/Allensmith81/status/1592131267172401152?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 14, 2022</a></blockquote>

    Oh and the goal here wasn't to advertise framework, merely to show an actual embeded tweet.. if we need to break the URLs let me know.

    Lief re the permissions hack - tbh I'd kind of hate for Khoros to spend any dev effort making a more official way to "hack" their already delicate / complicated permissions system. 

    Would much prefer for that effort to be spent, say, allowing roles to be copied from one parallel node to another. Or even just having a typeahead search for role names when adding roles already named at the top level to a child node.
