Got it, thanks!

Ah, thanks for the tip on where to look. I’ve tried to put together a new display format (code below) but I’m having difficulty working out 2 issues. Firstly I want to display the icon and author name in the same way as the regular twitter format – that is show the icon and name of the author, however I am getting results that always show the icon as the @tees-er twitter icon and name.

The retweet, favourite and reply icons are also hidden until mouse rollover. I’ve been trying to make these always visible.

Case 6;
$result .= “\n\t\t<div class=’rtw_wide’>”;
$result .= “\n\t\t<div class=’rtw_wide_icon’>”.rotatingtweets_user_intent($tweetuser,$twitterlocale,’icon’,$targetvalue).”</div>”;
$result .= “\n\t\t<div class=’rtw_wide_block’><div class=’rtw_info’>”;
$result .= “\n\t\t\t<div class=’rtw_name’>”.rotatingtweets_user_intent($tweetuser,$twitterlocale,’name’,$targetvalue).”</div>”;
$result .= “\n\t\t\t<div class=’rtw_id’>”.rotatingtweets_user_intent($tweetuser,$twitterlocale,’screen_name’,$targetvalue).”</div>”;
$result .= “\n\t\t<p class=’rtw_main’>”.$main_text.”</p>”;

$result .= “\n\t\t<div class=’rtw_meta’><div class=’rtw_intents’>”.rotatingtweets_intents($twitter_object,$twitterlocale, 1,$targetvalue).'</div>’;
$result .= rotatingtweets_timestamp_link($twitter_object,’long’,$targetvalue);
if(isset($retweeter)) {
$result .= ” · “.rotatingtweets_user_intent($retweeter,$twitterlocale,sprintf(__(‘Retweeted by %s’,’rotatingtweets’),$retweeter[‘name’]),$targetvalue);
}
$result .= “</div></div></div></div>”;
break;

Hi Martin

Those changes worked as I had hoped. However, I have realised that this format has the unfortunate effect of making some retweets look like they have originated on our Twitter account. I’ve been trying to substitute the ‘from Teeser’s Twitter’ for the original author’s name. I’m trying to workout what code I need to write. I’ve identified that it’s probably this section I need to change:

$result .= sprintf(__(‘from %2$s\’s Twitter‘,’rotatingtweets’),’https://twitter.com/intent/user?user_id=&#8217;.$user[‘id’],$user[‘name’]).’ · ‘;
endif;

But I’m struggling to understand what I need to do – All my changes result in a blank browser screen! I’m trying to work it out using

$result .= ‘— ‘.$user[‘name’].’ (@’.$user[‘screen_name’].’)

This version works OK – thanks. I’m a bit tied up currently but will be working on the site again soon.

…this is the site btw ??

Hi

This works with the smartcode and I’ve learnt a bit more in the process – thanks! Although I don’t seem to be able to get a result with the shortcode

show_meta_screen_name = ‘1’

The complete code is below

<div id=”twitterfeed”><?php echo do_shortcode(“[rotatingtweets screen_name=’tees_er’ include_rts = ‘1’ tweet_count =’6′ show_follow = ‘1’ no_show_count = ‘1’ show_meta_timestamp = ‘1’ show_meta_screen_name = ‘1’ links_in_new_window = ‘0’ official_format=’4′ rotation_type =’scrollRight’ ]”); ?>

</div><!– #twitterfeed –>

I can’t see anything out of place, appreciate any ideas?

Thank you for your reply. It’s not working for me, I think I need to learn php to a better standard.

I’m currently using the widget to control the display and as I start to understand php I think that maybe this solution can only be used with short codes and not with the widget. I assume I have to write more php inorder to access this display using the widget.

I will try to control rotating tweets using shortcodes now and see if this works.
