Backport Twitter Block to Drupal 6

This is already there..

and this is working for me. :-)

I'd gladly look at a D6 port if you wanted to contribute it.

+2 for a 6.x "official", the lack on the 6.x version linked here is that you can't display hashtags instead an user's tweets.

+3 for a 6.x version.
So many sites still use D6 and we need a *simple* Twitter module without all these bells and whistles just for listing our recent tweets.

Yes, please! Desperate for a reliable, *simple* Twitter mod for 6.x

+1

As it turns out, I needed a D6 version of this as well. Here is a basic back port to 6.x. Very few changes were made from the 7.x version, just a few fixes here and there.

For some reason I could not get the curl request working on either of the servers I tried it on, and honestly I don't know curl so swapped in a drupal_http_request() instead and it works fine. The code changes for this will be found in twitter.class.php under function search() (line 125) and in twitter_block.module (line 183), changed json_decode($twitter->getJSON()); to json_decode($twitter->getJSON()->data);

Beautiful @Laxman13 I'm going to review and test this.

Thanks so much!

Much thanks, Laxman! I'm getting an error though - Invalid argument supplied for foreach() on line 270. That is:

function theme_twitter_block($twitter_result, $variables = array()) {
  foreach($twitter_result as $tweet) {
    $tweets[] = theme('twitter_block_tweets', array('tweet' => $tweet));
  }

It sometimes works fine, and it sometimes just fails completely. I'm really at a loss as to what to do in that case! If you're around, I'd love a bit of help.

Let's finish 7.x first.

I've begun the backport (see git instructionsfor the code. It is still broken, but I ran out of time. I'm sorry, but I do not expect this to be a high priority, but now that it's in git, folks can work on patches.

Drupal 8 is scheduled for feature freeze soon. Y'all should really upgrade anyhow. :)

A patch to fix the remaining problems with the 6.x branch and bring it up to speed with the 7.x branch.

I'll try to do some extensive testing tonight and fix up and remaining problems but help is always appreciated!

Committed #16 to 6.x-1.x.

I'm marking this as fixed and will open new issues for specific problems with the 6.x-1.x branch.

Sorry to be stupid, but where is the 6.x-1.x. version as per #17 please? I can't see it on the "View all releases" page at https://drupal.org/node/1037610/release.

Since I couldn't find it I tried to recreate the process using patch in #16 on the module in #9 and it keeps failing:

matthew@MMBP:~/Downloads/twitter_block$ patch < /Users/matthew/Downloads/twitter_block/fix-remaining-issues-1077244-16.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff --git a/plugins/content_types/twitter_block.inc b/plugins/content_types/twitter_block.inc

|--- a/plugins/content_types/twitter_block.inc
|+++ b/plugins/content_types/twitter_block.inc
--------------------------

Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

mttjn, there's no snapshot release or anything, so you'll have to pull it from git. See directions on this page: https://drupal.org/node/1037610/git-instructions/6.x-1.x

Thanks, cweagans
