This is code that I will kindly let anyone use. It only works with
public twitter accounts, however, but it is perfect for placing on any web page.
First we
have the Inclusion of the File (can only be included once per page). Then the HTML for where the Twitter
Feed is going to go, and then the JavaScript to include the file.
[codesyntax
lang="xml"]<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://www.gtaero.net/twitter/twitter.php?user=USERNAME"></script>
<div
id="twitFeed">Optional Placeholder Text</div>
<script
type="text/javascript">twitter2id("twitFeed");</script>[/codesyntax]
Feel
free to use this code anywhere you want to. It is my gift to you!
UPDATE:
Some additional (optional) variables
script for further tweaking.

UPDATE:
Support for twitter lists and
turled profiles has been added to the script. Your script might break with these
changes, please view the post for more information.

Great Script - curently in use at http://webchick.org/.
ReplyDeleteI had no
problems whatsoever with the install and instructions (although they are geared at the clueful) ... however
you are missing two quote marks ...
One after -
{integer:amount of
posts|default:10max:20}
and one here -
script
type="text/javascript
(in the javascript include)
Otherwise, it
worked great! Thank you so much for this script!
Thank you so much, this is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteAnd nice and simple which is
just what I needed.
You are awesome!
I know it says it can only include the file once per page, but is there any possible
ReplyDeleteway to display two feeds?
Theoretically based on how JavaScript works you may actually be able to re-include the
ReplyDeletejavascript a second time later on in the file, thus over-writing the original function. (past the placement
of the first feed).
I haven't tried this, however, and I don't normally recommend it
(and I will not support any bugs it creates).
But go ahead and try, if you want to ^.^
First of all (I should have said this in my first comment) this script is amazing.
ReplyDeleteCompared to some other ones I tried, it's so much simpler and just an excellent solution. So good job.
As
for dual feeds, when I try to add the javascript a second time, it only displays the second one. I don't
know much about javascript or html in general, so if you were going to try this, what would your code look
like? I won't hold you responsible for anything that goes wrong. :)
Thanks for the
help!
Wow, thanks a ton for making this available! Turns out, this is a fantastic way to use
ReplyDeleteTwitter Feeds in a Joomla Wrapper. Twitter killed the use of iframes and this gets me around that.
Working on formatting it, but this is a fantastic little script!

Thank you for the code. I'm now using this script on my page at
ReplyDeletehttp://www.justwritestl.com and it's great.

I love this code, It feeds my tweets, but i can not get it to format for the life of
ReplyDeleteme, It also has a bullet in front of my tweet. Can anyone help me with my formating issues, as far as the
code feeding and working correctly, not a problem works fine.
Thanks
Dennis
Bitchin' code! One question how could I make it instead of feeding a user
ReplyDeletefeeding a topic i.e. "dogs" or whatever?
I'm using it on www.wickcopy.com. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou can disable the little bullet point by using CSS on the List:
ReplyDelete<ul
style="list-style-type:none;">

hey guys
ReplyDeletei was having an issue with this feed pulling old tweets, mainly from
the day i ftp'd it
i fixed it by changing this
if(file_exists("twitter_$user.json") && date("i",filemtime("twitter_$user.json")) mktime() )
hope
this can help someone else

I think some of the code you posted in the comment was stripped out. The code that you
ReplyDeletechanged,
date("i",filemtime("twitter_$user.json")) < date("i")+4
was
designed as a cache system, to only pull a file if it was less than 5 minutes old (because of rate
limiting).
If you don't want to cache it, you can probably pull out the entire file
storing procedure.

This is cool - I needed to add a twitter feed with no issues and minimal coding --
ReplyDeletethanks for letting the public use this.
Cheers
This is great. Is there anyway of changing the font style & colour?
ReplyDeleteThis really shouldn't be used anymore.. but yeah.. use CSS.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeletefirst of all thanks for the code. very easy and very handy!
but unfortunately i have some problems with it.
on mac (firefox & safari) it
shows a small vertical scrollbar for every single tweet, which i can't remove via css (overflow:auto or
similar). do you have any idea what else i could try?
and is it possible to customise the space
between the tweets?
This code is no longer supported. I recommend using Twitter's API.
