Create block?

Hey, ya I guess it will be possible!
Will work on it on the next release hopefully.

Ditto. Nice work.

Tried creating a block with this, but can't get it to work. Is there some trick I'm missing? Thanks.

I already have everything set up that way, but nothing shows up in the block.

I got it to display after installing phpfilter. Thanks.

I received that same error.. I just grabbed system.js from the actual juitter plugin (http://juitter.com/)

hope that helps

add this to juitter.module perhaps?

function juitter_block($op='list', $delta=0) {

if ($op == "list") {
// Generate listing of blocks from this module, for the admin/block page
$block = array();
$block[0]["info"] = t('Juitter');
return $block;
}
else if ($op == 'configure' && $delta == 0) {

return $form;
}
else if ($op == 'view') {
juitter_add_files(true);
$trends = juitter_get_settings();
foreach ($trends as $trend) {
$key = 'trend_' . $trend['trend_id'];
$tabs[$key] = array(
'href' => '#' . $key,
'title' => $trend['title'],
'attributes' => array(
'id' => $key,
'class' => 'juitterTab'
),
);
}
$trends = theme('juitter_tabs', $tabs);
if (variable_get('juitter_search', 1) != 0) {
$search_phrase = t(variable_get('juitter_search_text', 'Search twitter:'));
$search = "\n
\n
";
$block['content'] = theme('juitter', $trends, $search);
}
else $block['content'] = theme('juitter', $trends);

return $block;
}

}

@8 Thanks for the code doublejosh. How would one go about using php variables in replacement of the searchobject. Say you wanted to print the result of a CCK text field (that a user inputs in a node form) to be the searchobject. My use case is to allow a user to display a live feed of related tweets to a blog post. This is better illustrated by the attached image I suppose.

I'm looking to print something like $node->field_twitter either in a node.tpl or block.

Thanks again everyone, particularly to doublethink for making such a superb module.

Hi guys, I stalled and set the module, but I didn't see anywhere I can display it on my site, should I create a node or block to make it work? thanks.

I agree that the Juitter module creating both a page and a block would be an excellent next update.

jrb207 I haven't really even used the Juitter module much I just thought it would be right to use it's libraries for my block needs. I'm sure there are some functions in the module you could call to dump trends or whatever you're looking for into a block... probably.

Also, this is a good spot to re-paste the code since I made a super dumb swap of where the keyword code should go...

Someone want to show me how to do this with the jQuery.extend(Drupal.settings... way, rather than the inline technique?

Hi all,

Just in case anyone else is trying to figure out how to limit their block feed to just English, after a bit of testing I think this works:

(After reading the code I've changed my live: setting to "live-20". It determines how often, in seconds, your page checks back with Twitter for new feeds. I don't need it checking every 5 seconds.)

Hope this helps the next person trying to figure that out.

Search results on @username have less results (not all posts from the user) while a user timeline has all of it.

Believe this is because search is a different system that indexes on content keywords and only includes posts with certain amounts of some kind of karma, like views, retweets of something. Not 100% sure.

Pretty sure Juitter runs on search not on timelines, even for user results.

I'm sorry. I don't know much about the actual working of the Juitter page, since I just installed the module to use the libraries and create a custom block.

Perhaps you could see how the juitter page implementation javascript differs from this thread's javascript?

Josh,
That was the issue, made the correction to the file path and all is good. I haven't been able to figure out how to remove the pikes and dashes that display after after, readmore, date and time ..etc...

Hello, a solution to this problem is to create a block either within the same module or to one that depends on this and contains the following code:

function juitter_block($op='list', $delta=0, $edit=array()){
switch ($op) {
case 'list':
$blocks[0]['info'] = t('Juitter Block');
$blocks[0]['cache'] = BLOCK_NO_CACHE;
return $blocks;
case 'view':
$block['content'] = juitter_page();
return $block;
}
}
