PHP Snippet: Twitter Info and last 10 status

[Haggis Veteran]

<?php
$json = file_get_contents("http://twitter.com/status/user_timeline/USERNAME.json?count=10", true);
$decode = json_decode($json, true);
$count = count($decode); //counting the number of status
echo "<img src=\"".$decode[0][user][profile_image_url]."\"</img><br>"; //getting the profile image
echo "Name: ".$decode[0][user][name]."<br>"; //getting the username
echo "Web: ".$decode[0][user][url]."<br>"; //getting the web site address
echo "Location: ".$decode[0][user][location]."<br>"; //user location
echo "Updates: ".$decode[0][user][statuses_count]."<br>"; //number of updates
echo "Follower: ".$decode[0][user][followers_count]."<br>"; //number of followers
echo "Following: ".$decode[0][user][friends_count]."<br>"; // following
echo "Description: ".$decode[0][user][description]."<br>"; //user description
echo "TimeZone: ".$decode[0][user][time_zone]."<br>"; //Timezone
echo "<br><br>";
for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){
echo "Status: ".$decode[$i][text]."<br>"; //getting last 10 statuses}
}
?>
[/CODE]

This snippet will grab the particular users info from twitter along with the last 10 status

just change USERNAME to your twitter username

Can you do one that embeds a tweet in a forum post to achieve what is requested here? http://www.neowin.ne...5-embed-tweets/

I can add php to bbcode replacement but not Javacript, although I can add the widget.js to our board header. https://dev.twitter....embedded-tweets

Edit: Redmak is also working on this :p

[Haggis Veteran]

I will certainly have a look and see what i can do

I am at work just now and twitter is blocked can you get me a tweet id to work on?

[Steven P. Administrators]

here's one :)

[Haggis Veteran]

if you add the widget.js to your board header

this is the html replace for the bbcode

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Javascript is not enabled</p><a 

href="https://twitter.com/twitterapi/status/237131910013394944">Click here to view the Tweet</a></blockquote>[/CODE]

so would just be the tweet id needing replaced

I will look more when i get home, let me know if this is useful though :)

[Haggis Veteran]

so

[tweet]237131910013394944[/tweet][/CODE]

[CODE]
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Javascript is not enabled</p><a

href="https://twitter.com/twitterapi/status/{content}">Click here to view the Tweet</a></blockquote>[/CODE]

if this is not what you mean i can make a bit of code to pull the particular tweet then you could just add some niceness to the display lol

[Steven P. Administrators]

damn, I knew it was as easy as this! I'll give it a try, thanks.. I was getting a bit confused with the "content" switch lol

Hmm does that post a link, or the embedded tweet?

Thanks, I've modified it so the whole URL can be pasted in (easier to remember for everyone)

Example:

[tweet]https://twitter.com/NeowinSteve/statuses/237116811357859841[/tweet]

Replacement:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Javascript is not enabled</p><a

href="{content}">Click here to view the Tweet</a></blockquote>

Thanks for your help on this :)

[Haggis Veteran]

No probs at all :) as i say glad i could help

[Steven P. Administrators]

It doesn't load with fast reply, but youtube videos do, do you reckon there's a way around this?

Could it be the Javascript notice that stops it loading?

[Haggis Veteran]

Going by this link its the JavaScript

I will look though

Hmm I suppose it calls the javascrtipt in our header to render the tweet?

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

which is only parsed with a page refresh. I don't see a way around this lol

[Haggis Veteran]

yeah looking at the ipb site the javascript wont parse in a fast reply so the bbcode wont work

its should work once the page is refreshed so will only not work for you once the post is submitted

Yeah, I can live with that :) Thanks again for your help (Y)

[Haggis Veteran]

No Probs :)

Updated the helper text to reflect this "Javascript is not enabled or refresh the page to view."

[Seahorsepip Veteran]

modify the post button to get it working with fast reply without a page reload:

<input type="submit" id="submit_post" class="input_submit" name="submit" value="post" acceskey="s" tabindex="0" onclick="tweet();">Post</input>[/CODE]

[CODE]
<script>
function tweet {
if #submit_post content contains the following text "[tweet]" { *idk code to lookup text in a element :p*
*tweet code*
}
</script>
[/CODE]
