Twitter - How?

~~.Zi~~ · 15-07-2009, 05:58 PM

Well, I saw it in this layout and realised I could use with something like this. Its the twitter with the latest twitter message. SO like, I could text to this number a message of the day and then it comes up on my site, I haven't designed the site yet, so I can't put it on and test it, but +rep will be given.

I'm guessing you'd call the latest tweet using the Twitter API. Somebody made a system like that and they posted it only a few days ago. I'd use the search function to find out, cuz rly I swear somebody posted it!

Here's the files i used:

http://www.designtest.hostoi.com/tweetbasic.rar

Just place:

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
   $("#twitdisplay").hide();

    $("#twitdisplay").load("tweet.php", function(){
 $(this).fadeIn();
 $("#loadingtweet").hide();
 });
  
   });

  </script>

in between the <head> tags at the top of the page, then

HTML Code:

<div id="twitdisplay"><div id="loadingtweet">Loading...</div></div>

Where you wish to display the tweet.

Edit the tweet.php file to your twitter username..

I'd give credit to whoever made this, but i google searched for it and cant remember where i got it from. So yeah, credit to someotherguy

I think somebody else had the same idea tbh... loads of people are using that.

I know i was browsing a few inspiration sites the other day and 9/10 had twitter message boxes. Hell i don't even use twitter but i put it on layouts i use, just because i offer them out free and other people use it lol

They do look very attractive though... Some people need to think about what goes on their twitter though when they do that.

But wouldn't it be a waste of time to have all that crushed by Twitter because people use Twitter because its famous now lol.

Instead of using all that code that was given use this

Code:

 <?php
    
    // The function that will do the grabbing of the tweet
    function getTweet($url) {
    
        // Get the contents of the ATOM file
        $feed = file_get_contents($url);
        // Make an XML instance of it
        $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($feed);
        
        // Using the XML get the tweet, for this we needed to work out the xml structure
        $tweet = $xml->entry->title;
        
        return $tweet;
    
    }

    // $username is your twitter username
    $username = "YOUR TWITTER USERNAME GOES HERE";
    
    // This is the API call URL. &rpp=1 means we will only get the latest status
    $url = "http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from:".$username."&rpp=1";
    
    // Use our function we made earlier to grab our latest tweet and echo it
    echo getTweet($url);
    
   // Made by Richard Knox
?>

A little searching goes far
