Say somebody is already following, but I ask them to click the follow button again. I want to be able to run some JavaScript IF they are already following and clicked the follow button.

I know you can run JavaScript when the click it, but that will also apply to non followers.

I completely agree with @andrew13nguyen above- the fact javascript events do not work “offline” should be made really blindingly obvious in the docs. Just spent hours trying to work out why the simplest follow button intent would not work from file://whatever.html its not mentioned anywhere you gotta run this from a host to get web intent callbacks.
I’d also like to see mention it is not XHTML valid.

On the other hand, I’m thrilled me call back is finally working!

I’ve added the retweet button with the code below, no custmization. I’m trying to create an inline set of buttons (FB, Tweet, G+). My retweet button’s iframe adds a
near the end of the code. Is there a way to remove this? Update: my own error, my template engine added an extraTweet</html

Sorry for the late reply here. I’ll make sure to pass this feedback about adding offline to the docs. The developer advocate team responsible for writing the docs can evaluate the request and add it.

Hi,

I want to be able to have the twitter button in two lines. Now see it like this:

@twitter_user_name - followers_count

I would like to have it like this:

@twitter_user_name - followers_count

My problem with the one-line layout is that I’m placing it in an area at the left of my page where I put my menus, see: http://www.cocinafacil.okidoki.com.co. This area has a width of 235 pixels, so, now that I had more than 100 followers, the widget will need 245 pixels to fit on that area, so, this would mean that I had to resize this area. Is there any hack to be able to split the widget in two lines?

Best regards
Josef

And can i learn if u have any future plans about these issues?
Cheers.

hi, i wanna ask one question.
can i still use web analytics APIs like twttr.events.bind(‘tweet’, function(event) {}); even though i just make a link to my customized-twitter button?
i mean, when a user click a customized-button,
tweet it!
it calls the javascript function below.


function send() {
  var url = "http://twitter.com/share?url=http://myhost.com";
  var w = window.open(url, "twitter", "width=600, height = 400");
  w.focus();
}

then how can i bind a function which should be fired when a user tweets?
i do in this way because i want to use a button i designed…
thanks…

kurrik · 2011-10-18T16:32:53.000Z

No, in order to get twttr.events messages, you need to rely on the standard buttons or intents anchors. The controls supporting each type of event are listed here: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/intents/events

jooddang · 2011-10-19T02:19:15.000Z

hi, thank you very much for your quick answer.
let me ask one more thing.

when i change my code in this way,

<a href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?via=jooddang" class="my_class" id="twitter-share-button">gogo</a>
<script>
twttr.events.bind('click', function(event){alert('clicked');});

it works beautifully. i guess twttr recognizes id="twitter-share-button" and its href attribute, right?

then, i wanna get a complete list of data i can get from bind function.
from the link you gave me above (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/intents/events) , i can guess i could get data like “intent_event.data.source_tweet_id”, but i couldn’t find a complete list of data.

for example, in this code,

the alert box returns null for tid. when i try event.data.tweet_id instead of event.data , it gives me javascript error. (Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘tweet_id’ of null from chrome console).

in short, let me know which kinds of data i can get from bind function…
thank you very much again!

i have a webpage. on it, i have added a twitter tweet button, available here

http://twitter.com/about/resources/tweetbutton

using this, the user is able to connect via twitter, and also post tweets. another thing possible is that user clicks on the button, maybe even logs in with twitter, but closes the popup without tweeting.

now, i need to get some kind of response to know when the user has actually tweeted. if the user has tweeted, i have to display a message on my native webpage saying ‘thank you for tweeting’ and IF POSSIBLE, the tweet text that he tweeted.

any ideas?

kurrik · 2011-10-20T18:47:31.000Z

Have you tried using console.log(event); to print the contents of event to the Chrome developer console? That’s what I do if I need to explore the structure of an object in Javascript.

I have a problem with tweet button event (Internet Explorer only, works great with other). After “tweet” in the pop-up window it should send a form on the main page, but it seems that IE (tested only on IE 8) doesn’t recognize this function at all (whether it’s a problem with child window event listening, browser code recognition or something else). Any ideas, alternative moves, fixes?
twttr.events.bind(‘tweet’, function(event) { document.forms.form1.submit(); });

py1 · 2011-10-26T12:58:55.000Z

Same issue. In IE the tweet callback never fires.
