Edit file: “/include/config.local.php”
In second line enter 2 new lines:

Twitter requires all URLs to be HTTPS protocol. If you’re website doesn’t use HTTPS protocol, forget about Twitter cards.
Was successfully integrated on our private video website. Card accepted by Twitter within some minutes. Shared video from our website correctly appeared and plays on Twitter.
I rather doubt if adult websites cards can be accepted by Twitter.
Hi i cant find {if $view} in header.tpl
{if $view} is available in every script version I mentioned at the end of post. Not available in older versions, code provided also doesn’t fit older versions.
