I just installed it and all my tweets came flooding in. Thanks for this block.

Timestamps should be optional too...

I'm happy to implement some of these if you're not feeling it! :)

I've updated the code. It is attached.

Updated is the ability to hide the avatar, change the username to an alternate title, hide the timestamp, and hide repsponses. I'm having some difficulty with pulling the saved information back out of the database for the form. Anyone want to help with that?

Hey I wanted to thank you for the block and all the effort you have put into it :)I haven't installed it since i don't have a twitter account, but anything to advance c5 as a whole in my mind is greatly appreciated :)

Hey hey... This twitter block works pretty great. However I have a few suggestions that might spice it up.

1. Make the avatar and username optional via the add/edit interface.

2. Make responses to other twitters hidden or optionally hidden.

I thought I had one more, but I can't think of it.

Good job!

I've just downloaded the Twitter Block and going to install it shortly. My Site is still under construction but you will be able to check it out at http://rosspublicrelations.com

I've installed and this is a great tool like I stated, but I can't seem to control the number of post that are showing. I have the option set to 3 but I'm showing 5 tweets. Anyone else had that issue?

ScottC replied on Dec 9, 2008 at 5:13 pm Permalink Reply

Showing at least 10, I don't use the service but I figured I would test it.

I have fixed the bugs with the form not working correctly.
The plugin is available on my site athttp://www.sollos.net/services/plugins/...

Hey I'm getting a Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /homepages/25/d169524231/htdocs/RPR/blocks/twitter/view.php on line 35

This was after the upgrade. Any ideas?

For me, this turned out to be a cURL problem. I modified the plugin controller to use PHP stream functions instead and it seems to be working fine for me. The modified controller.php is attached. This should be placed in blocks/twitter/

Most ISPs consider using php streams to be unsafe, and recommend Curl as a much safer option.

For myself testing on Media Temple I had to use the original (1st uploaded) Curl version - reference:http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/793/Why+is+allow_url_fopen+disa...

check if your twitter is protected. once i unprotected my tweets it worked with gigamyke's fix.

just wondering if a future version might have areas for sharing protected tweets?

mattwilliamson replied on Apr 4, 2009 at 2:11 am Permalink Reply

I would love to see a div at the bottom with a graphical element to follow the displayed twitter user. Also, I would like to see a more elegant way to edit the display that editing the actual php.

I used it on my site athttp://www.clevyr.com/contact and I am quite happy with it!

:)

Namaste!

I receive this message:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /homepages/29/d290152409/htdocs/blocks/twitter/view.php on line 35

I've tried all 3 versions supplied by damiro and the fix suggested by gigamyke -- and still receive the same warning -- any ideas? Was I supposed to manually edit any of the php files?

freestylemovement replied on Feb 3, 2009 at 12:39 pm Permalink Reply

it's awesome, thanks so much for putting in the time to do it..

i'm looking to replace my username display to something else (my website name was too long for twitter ...)

also for some weird unexplainable reason, the title function does not work for me (everytime i type in a title it doesn't save it or display it)

thanks!!

thanks for the block. I've just needed a similar block today and have found this block. It did not work initially so I've made some minor fixes. It's now working with my Concrete 5.3.1.1.

File attached.

Hi Damiro,

so far I really like the block you've created and it works very nice!

I think it's a hard one, but is it possible to have twittered url's also made available as links through the block? Currently links are not clickable, do you know how to do this?

Hope to hear from ya,
thank you,

Robert

Knew it was only a short matter of time before someone put this together. Great job.

First, thanks for the block. Excellent. It looks much nicer than just adding a Twitter RSS feed.

I've made some changes to it:

1. CSS formatting based on the parent website more than the block itself.
2. Different CSS spacing, layout, etc.
3. Functionality to automatically hyperlink any URL in a tweet (popping the URL in a new window to boot).
4. A handful of small bug fixes

You can see how the slightly changed version looks here:http://www.pavelle.org/index.php/technology/concrete5_twitter_block...

You can also download the code there, or from the attachment here.

Thanks again for writing this!

Hi,

I have tried every version of this Twitter block on this page but I just can't get it working.

I get a similar error mentioned above - apart from this time it's from controller.php and not view.php:

"Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /actual-path-here/blocks/twitter/controller.php on line 61"

I am running Concrete5 v5.3.1.1

Any ideas how I can get this working?

Hi

Im getting the same the 181 error too, anyone know the solution ?

Cheers

You guys need to install curl and tell PHP to use it.

Seeing as how you are using XAMPP

Sounds like you just have to uncomment the extension in your php.ini

Where can I find it?? I can can not found any download! Please help!

Mnkras replied on Dec 13, 2010 at 10:02 am Permalink Reply

frank look at the answer

Judder replied on May 10, 2012 at 9:43 am Permalink Reply

Twitter limits the public views of a profile to < 150 per hour for a single IP, so if you're testing you can hit the situation where the view.php fails as Twitter is returning an error.

To work around this modify the view.php to check for Twitter errors as follows:

<?php if (count($tweets) && !$tweets->error) { ?>

I tried all 3 versions of this plugin and I still get this error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

Here is the page (twitter is to go above the facebook widget):

I have a question about the Twitter Block...

Can you use one of the twitter blocks on all pages or just front page? Can I also include it through the blog outlet offered on through Concrete 5?

Do I need a link for the twitter block or is there another way to go about uploading onto a webpage.

Hope I have been descriptive enough!

Thanks,
