Twitter for websitebaker

[Linger]

Hello community!

Are you using twitter (http://www.twitter.com)?
I have even finished a module for the integration of your twitter-feed into websitebaker.
Seems like it works fine - i will test the module on my public webserver tonight an publish the final module during the next days.

Interested? Have a look at the attached screenshot.

Hello again!

Finally the Twitter-module for WebsiteBaker has reached the "stable" status and is ready for download.
Well, the description of the module on my website is only available in german at the moment - but the modul itself supports german and english language.

Download "WB Tweets" here:

Happy twittering! ;-)

Hello community!

I just released "WB Tweets" version 0.3.

Since version 0.1 from december 2008 the following new features where introduced:

• ability to define the number of tweets to be displayed
• ability to hide @replies
• #hashtags are automically linked to twitter search

Download "WB Tweets" 0.3 from my site:

or from the AMASP Module Repository:
http://www.websitebakers.com/pages/modules/listings/various/wb-tweets.php

I hope you will like it.

Best regards

is there a way to put a limit to it? if i'd likee only the last 5 tweets?

[Xagone]

ahhh... sh.. just saw you updated it yesterday, i've downloaded it and reworked the design friday!!!!

lool

[Linger]

Hello VotreEspace,

the ability to define the number of displayed tweets was introduced in version 0.21 from 4/17/2009. Your download from friday last week should have that option in the backend.

[Xagone]

it seams I have v. 0.13 but i've downloaded it friday from websitebakers.com!

[Linger]

Oh yes... thats my fault.

I forgot to upload the changed file to AMASP. Blame on me.
I even corrected the link to the module file.

Sorry.

[Xagone]

have you change mush in the templating way (css styles?)

[Linger]

As far as i remember no big changes where applied to view.php and frontend.css. I modified functions.php an twitterzoid.php in the includes folder.

You may have look at the changelog in info.php in order to track the changes.

In version 0.3 I added a CSS class for the new #hashtags in frontend.css. That should be all.

[Xagone]

the css i've modified remove the little bird, compact the tweets and add a little "t" logo before each tweet, to be includeed as a little section

[Linger]

Sounds great! Is there a link to the page you are working on?

But why do you alternate the module css and do not overwrite the directives from frontend.css with your template css? This way your style would be independent from upcoming module changes.

here the tweets i've used :

it's in the right colum, first off

VotreEspace: It looks great. Would you mind releasing your CSS? I'd be very interested to use something to that effect.

Code:

ul.mod_wbtweets_twittermenue{
  list-style-type: none;
}
ul.mod_wbtweets_twittermenue li{
  display: inline;
}

ul.mod_wbtweets_tweets {
  list-style-type: none;
  padding:0px;
  margin:0px;
}

ul.mod_wbtweets_tweets li {
  background-image: url(layoutbin/tweet.png);
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: top left;
  padding:0px;
  padding-left:30px;
  margin:0px;
  margin-bottom:5px;
  text-align:justify;
}

.mod_wbtweets_tweets .mod_wbtweets_tweetmeta a{
  font-size:10px;
}

.mod_wbtweet_licence{
  text-align: center;
  font-size: 9px;
  line-height: 11px;
  color: #999999;
  border-top: 1px #999999 solid;
  padding-top: 2px;
  margin-top: 5px;
}
.mod_wbtweet_licence a{
  text-align: center;
  font-size: 9px;
  line-height: 11px;
  color: #999999;
}

the file tweet.png is in this post, and i've mod a little the copyrights to make them fits in a 300px large column.

thx a lot, it's very cool.

it's work from the first second. but with my template the design is aweful, i work now since a hour on the css and try to fix it. but it's not so easy.

look at screenshot

[Linger]

Hello whitewolf,

well its hard to say whats the reason for the problem. It would be more easy if you post a link to the live site where we can inspect your HTML/CSS. Looks like there is a missing clear in your stylsheet. But i only can guess that.

Best regards
André

[whitewolf]

oh, sorry i'm so stupid...

yes it's hard to debug without any source.

here is my page.  roeschu.roeschu.com

thanks a lot for helping

Hello Whitewolf,

i just inspected your code with firebug.
It seems like the problem is in screen.css, line 98.

Code:

li{
   display: inline;
}

Using firebug i changed that value into the following

Code:

li{
   display: block;
}

and it works. (have a look at the screenshot)

But now your menue on top is broken because the li-items there have to be displayed inline. You may correct that by using that: (not approved)

Code:

#navcontainer ul li {
  display: inline;
}

So the comand for displaying li-items inline is only applied to the list in the #navcontainer.
I think that should work.

Best regards
André

Hello Linger

Thanks a lot for your help.

With your help i saw where the problem was.

i fixed it now with a

Code:

li{
        display: inline-block;}

so the Menu and twitter does what i want 



for a better look i modified the tweetbubble.jpg to tweetbubble.gif with an transparant background, so it fits better on my page.

if other like the image to... copy it in the folder modules/wbtweets/layoutbin and change the path in the css at line 47 from  .........tweetbubbl e.jpg to tweetbubble.gif

dont seam to work on WB 2.8 RC2, but give no errors!

[Linger]

Hello VotreEspace,

thanks a lot for your information. I haven't found the time to approve that but i promise to fix that problem. Because WB Tweets only uses marginally functions from the WB Core/Framework it shouldn't be that hard... i hope so

I will report my test results inside that thread as soon as possible.

Anyone else having a problem with WB Tweets unter WB 2.8?

Best regards
André

[Xagone]

it's working, just bizare problems with accents...

to let twitterlink open in a new window at target="blank":

incudes/twitterzoid.php

line 81:
                    $TwitterZoid=$TwitterZoid." - <a href=\"".$item->get_permalink()."\"target=\"_blank\">".$twittered_at."</a></span>\n";

Hello community,

WB Tweets 0.41 is ready for download.
The new version supports local caching of the twitter feed and avoids the limit of 100 requests to the twitter server.
If have tested WB Tweets 0.41 on WebsiteBaker 2.8 abd it seems to work fine.

But there is one issue i don't understand at the moment:
I 've installed WB Tweets 0.41 on four different sites - works great on three but fails on the last. Sporadically the cache file "cache.xml" contains not the expected twitter feed but some lines of HTML. I don't know where they are from and what causes that issue. Sometimes everything works fine, sometimes it fails. 

Could anybody approve this?!


Best regards
André
