Check out the script in action at seaofclouds.com, and see the following demos.
Displaying three tweets from the seaofclouds twitter feed:
$(function(){
$(".tweet").tweet({
join_text: "auto",
username: "seaofclouds",
avatar_size: 48,
count: 3,
auto_join_text_default: "we said,",
auto_join_text_ed: "we",
auto_join_text_ing: "we were",
auto_join_text_reply: "we replied",
auto_join_text_url: "we were checking out",
loading_text: "loading tweets..."
});
});
Displaying four tweets from the query "tweet.seaofclouds.com":
$(function(){
$("#query").tweet({
avatar_size: 32,
count: 4,
query: "tweet.seaofclouds.com",
loading_text: "searching twitter..."
});
});
Displaying up to three links with the search query "from:seaofclouds http":
$(function(){
$("#userandquery").tweet({
count: 3,
query: "from:seaofclouds http",
loading_text: "searching twitter..."
});
});
Displaying four tweets from the two users "seaofclouds" and "laughingsquid", refreshing every 10 seconds:
$(function(){
$("#fromtwo").tweet({
avatar_size: 32,
count: 4,
username: ["seaofclouds", "laughingsquid"],
loading_text: "searching twitter...",
refresh_interval: 10
});
});
Displaying tweets from users on the 'team' list of 'twitter':
$(function(){
$("#list").tweet({
avatar_size: 32,
count: 4,
username: "twitter",
list: "team",
loading_text: "loading list..."
});
});
Displaying the user seaofclouds' favorite tweets:
$(function(){
$("#favorites").tweet({
avatar_size: 32,
count: 3,
username: "seaofclouds",
favorites: true,
loading_text: "loading list..."
});
});
Fetch 20 tweets, but filter out @replies, and display only 3:
$(function(){
$("#filter").tweet({
avatar_size: 32,
count: 3,
fetch: 20,
filter: function(t){ return ! /^@\w+/.test(t["tweet_raw_text"]); },
username: "seaofclouds",
});
});
Customize the layout to eliminate the date stamps and avatars:
$(function(){
$("#custom").tweet({
avatar_size: 32,
count: 4,
username: "seaofclouds",
template: function(i){return i["text"]}
});
});
Adding a message when no tweets matching 'somerandomstring' are found:
$(function(){
$("#empty").tweet({
avatar_size: 32,
count: 4,
query: rnd,
loading_text: "searching twitter..."
}).bind("empty", function() { $(this).append("No matching tweets found"); });
});
NOTE: Some users have reported that they do not show up in Twitter's search results.
1. Get JQuery. In these examples, we use Google's AJAX Libraries API.
2. include jQuery and jquery.tweet.js files in your template's <head>.
<script language="javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript" src="/tweet/jquery.tweet.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
3. Also in <head>, Initialize tweet! on page load with your Username and other options
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".tweet").tweet({
username: "seaofclouds",
join_text: "auto",
avatar_size: 32,
count: 3,
auto_join_text_default: "we said,",
auto_join_text_ed: "we",
auto_join_text_ing: "we were",
auto_join_text_reply: "we replied to",
auto_join_text_url: "we were checking out",
loading_text: "loading tweets..."
});
});
</script>
4. In <body>, include a placeholder for your tweets. They'll get loaded in via JSON. How fancy!
<div class="tweet"></div>
5. Style with our stylesheet in <head>, or modify as you like!
<link href="jquery.tweet.css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
