Hi everybody,
I'm getting frustrated with the new Twitter API 1.1.
It's a week that I'm working on it and still I have not solved.

Where I arrived is here throug this code by twitteroauth-master:

Code:
&lt;?php

//session_start();

require_once("twitteroauth-master/twitteroauth/twitteroauth.php"); //Path to twitteroauth library

$twitteruser = "UserName";

$notweets = 1;

$consumerkey = "******************";

$consumersecret = "******************";

$accesstoken = "******************";

$accesstokensecret = "******************";

function getConnectionWithAccessToken($cons_key, $cons_secret, $oauth_token, $oauth_token_secret) {

  $connection = new TwitterOAuth($cons_key, $cons_secret, $oauth_token, $oauth_token_secret);

  return $connection;

}

$connection = getConnectionWithAccessToken($consumerkey, $consumersecret, $accesstoken, $accesstokensecret);

$tweets = $connection->get("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=".$twitteruser."&count;=".$notweets);

//var_dump($tweets);

//echo json_encode($tweets);

echo "created at: ".$tweets[0]->created_at;

echo "<br/>".$tweets[0]->text;

?&gt;

So if I call the page it return correctly the tweet.
The page is here: http://www.shella.it/get_tweet.php

What I cannot do (because of my skill limits) is:

1) use a regex to transform a url in a link that work
2) use this code wherever I want because actually it's outside the logic MVC... I'd like to include it into a page but I can't. Could somebody help me? Would be great even for the community to give something cool and fresh for all the CI users.

Cheers

As luck would have it, I'm actually working on this right now for a client.
I can't show you a working example as it's still in development & running on my local machine so I'll explain as best as i can and provide you with some of the files

Solution:
Use JavaScript AJAX method to call your codeigniter script. The codeigniter script returns a JSON list of tweets. The JavaScript uses the JSON data to write the html.

Sources:
TwitterFetcher - A spark plugin for codeigniter which I have modified to output JSON formatted tweets
Twitfeed.js - Modify lines 6, 7 and 22 (twitter username and the ajax call to your codeigniter script)
twitter.css - the stylesheet

The code:
HTML

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;&lt;title>Twitfeed Demo&lt;/title&gt;

[removed][removed]  &lt;!---- this was removed by the ellislab forum - it's the link to the ajax javascript file at hosted at googleapis --&gt;

[removed][removed]   &lt;!---- this was removed by the ellislab forum - it's the link to your twitfeed[dot]js file --&gt;

&lt;link href="twitter.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

<div id="twitter-feed"></div> &lt;!-- This div will house the twitter feed --&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

CI function

Code:
function ajax()

 {

                // Note I've taken this library out of the sparks environment because I've modified it to suit me 

                //so it's loaded in the traditional CI way rather than sparks

                $this->load->library('twitterfetcher'); 

                $tweets = $this->twitterfetcher->getTweets(array(

      'consumerKey'       => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',

      'consumerSecret'    => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',

      'accessToken'         => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',

      'accessTokenSecret'   => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',

      'usecache'          => true,

      'count'             => 2,

      'numdays'           => 30

   ));

  echo $tweets;

 }

I think that's enough to give you what you need Smile

Hey there,
so I tried and I think I'm very close.

Unfortunately I still can not see the tweets. You can see on www.shella.it (on the footer the second column).

With a console tool or firebug i can see:

Code:
Uncaught TypeError: Property '$' of object [object Object] is not a function twitfeed.js:5

(anonymous function)

on tweetfeed.js

So I guess I have a Conflict with JS because I have another .js file that start with

Code:
jQuery.noConflict()(function($){

$(document).ready(function($) {

... but I dunno how to manage it.

Any ideas?

That's probably the issue.

You can define an alias for jquery for your twitter feed so that it doesn't conflict with your custom.js

Try this solution

Also I looked at the output from the ajax call. You still need to amend that library to output it in JSON format

Hey!
Sorry I start to be boring I know ;-)

But I'm pretty close.
I try the solution you suggested and yes... it works.

Unfortunately I got an error in a pop up that say:

Quote:parsererror - Unexpected token A

Any idea what it is related to?
Maybe is related to what you say:

Quote:You still need to amend that library

but I dunno what you mean :-s

You can see the error appearing just going on my website www.shella.it

Thanks a lot!
