Get 'tweet' event from Twitter Web Intents

kurrik · 2011-10-05T22:47:07.000Z

Sorry, I misunderstood what you originally meant. The following code sends the event:




  
    
  
  
    Tweet

I think your issue was that the Twitter Intent event code was not recognizing your element as a valid intent link, so wasn’t hooking up the correct event listeners. I’m not sure it’s going to be possible to use window.open in the way you want to and get an event back.

This code doesn’t work in IE.
and yes, It’s not working with window.open. Does it going to get solved? So many problems.

kurrik · 2011-10-06T00:43:08.000Z

Which version of IE?

Also, I don’t think that the window.open approach will ever be supported. Is there a reason you need to do that over just providing a web intent anchor element?

The tweet event callback isn’t firing for me using the Tweet Button in IE.

The tweet event callback isn’t firing in IE version 8. Help!

Thanks for this snippet. It is doing fine, even in IE.
Although it took me hours to find out that the Web Intent functionality already opens the popup.

But the problem with this code is, that the text-parameter is entirely fix. This is rarely the case in dynamic web projects.
Many sites have a textarea, where the user writes some text and is supposed to hit the “tweet”-button afterwards.
So, the link is still to be assembled by the developer!
My solution was to put the link together and change the href ON BLUR of the textarea.

It would be great if you could keep this procedure in mind when developing the API.

I build my page with very similar code, but both my page and yours are giving cross-domain errors in Chrome 16:

Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL http://platform.twitter.com/widgets/hub.html from frame with URL http://www.dhavalpatels.com/twitter/twittertest.html#. Domains, protocols and ports must match.

not working in ie

harry_inaction · 2012-03-24T15:04:46.000Z

is it possible to pass some variables to the called function…

i tried it like this, but failed…

chanian · 2012-03-25T18:01:27.000Z

Yes you can, I would suggest doing something like this:

var sessUID = ‘<?php echo $sess_uid; ?>’;
twttr.ready(function (twttr) {
twttr.events.bind(‘tweet’, function (event) {
twitnshare(‘tws_likings’, sessUID));
}
});

This assumes you’ve already loaded widgets.js elsewhere. I’m not sure what you were looking for with the “href” as the 3 param, but if you inspect the event object within that callback, you will have access to all the variables documented here: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/intents/events

its not working

harry_inaction · 2012-03-25T18:36:31.000Z

i am glad that you could respond so quickly…

with href , i am trying to generate the current post id,
so i changed it to something like this…

shouldn’t this work

chanian · 2012-03-25T21:16:24.000Z

Ah, the tweet intent does not include the tweet that was generated, so tweet_id will not be available. Please take another look over the documentation for javascript events to see what data is available.

harry_inaction · 2012-03-25T21:47:29.000Z

ok, now this should work perfectly as i can successfully post the post id to twitter from the


<?php echo $row['p_id']?>

so collectively it becomes …



but no success

chanian · 2012-03-25T21:51:55.000Z

This code looks good to me (provided you’ve defined “likeWit” elsewhere). Can you confirm that the events are firing correctly for you? (ie put an alert or console.log within your callback event). Additionally, are you getting any errors at all? Or is just nothing working?

harry_inaction · 2012-03-25T22:08:08.000Z

well yes, the alert gets fired successfully…

and the likeWit is a function that is being utilized to capture the facebook like activitiy, which works perfectly, same is being passed the same number of arguments and similar one here by me

so there is no conflict , now whats the way out…

chanian · 2012-03-25T22:26:00.000Z

If you have a demo page I could help debug with you, it would make it easier. Otherwise, it looks like you are doing everything correctly.

harry_inaction · 2012-03-25T22:31:17.000Z

you can login with your facebook login id and password

chanian · 2012-03-25T22:53:00.000Z

I signed in, tweeted, and verified that everything is working. The event fired, and I inspected the event and it correctly passed through all the params. Can you specify exactly what is not working on your end? Possibly provide your browser settings, version to help debug?

Otherwise, things look just fine on my end!

harry_inaction · 2012-03-25T22:58:13.000Z

the values doesn’t go to database like those for facebook like button…

i store 3 things to database…
userid, timestamp, and postid…
