Cronwerks MCCode/MCCodes Forums

Please be kind, this is the first modification that I have made.  :)

PART A - Twitter Announcements
1. Copy and paste the code below into a file and name it tannounce.php
2. Change where it says "whatsonthetube" to your Twitter username

?>

3. Open mainmenu.php and find:

<a href='announcement.php'>Announcements</a><br />
and add below

<a href='tannounce.php'>Twitter</a><br />
PART B - Twitter Profile Integration
1. Create tusername in the users table, and set the default to your Twitter account username
2. Copy and paste the following into your viewuser.php page

<script src='http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js'></script>
<script>
new TWTR.Widget({
  version: 2,
  type: 'profile',
  rpp: 4,
  interval: 6000,
  width: 500,
  height: 500,
  theme: {
    shell: {
      background: '#333333',
      color: '#ffffff'
    },
    tweets: {
      background: '#000000',
      color: '#ffffff',
      links: '#07d0eb'
    }
  },
  features: {
    scrollbar: false,
    loop: false,
    live: false,
    hashtags: true,
    timestamp: true,
    avatars: false,
    behavior: 'all'
  }
}).render().setUser('{$r['tusername']}').start();
</script>
3. Open preferences.php and find:

case 'picchange':
pic_change();
break;
Then add below:

case 'twitterusername':
twitter_username();
break;

case 'twitterchange':
do_twitter_change();
break;
You will then need to find:

<a href='preferences.php?action=picchange'>Display Pic Change</a><br />
And add below:

<a href='preferences.php?action=twitterusername'>Twitter Username</a><br />
Then add the following function at the bottom of the page:

function twitter_username()
{
global $ir,$c,$userid,$h;
print "<form action='preferences.php?action=twitterchange' method='post'>
Twitter Username: <input type='text' name='twitterchange' /><br />
<input type='submit' value='Change Name' /></form>";
}
function do_twitter_change()
{
global $ir,$c,$userid,$h;
if($_POST['twitterchange'] == "")
{
print "You did not enter a Twitter Username.<br />
<a href='preferences.php?action=twitterusername'>&gt; Back</a>";
}
else
{
$_POST['twitterchange']=str_replace(array("<", ">", "\\\'"), array("&lt;", "&gt;", "&#039;"), $_POST['twitterchange']);
mysql_query("UPDATE users SET tusername='{$_POST['twitterchange']}' WHERE userid=$userid",$c);
print "Twitter username changed!";
}
}
What you should have achieved, if I posted everything correctly:
1. You should have an announcements page showing your Tweet updates
2. There should be a Twitter module on the viewuser.php page, most likely displaying your tweets by default
3. Users should be able to change the Twitter username in Preferences, thus changing tweets displayed on their profile

What you can do to help:
I am a novice at programming, and it would be good if people could help me to improve this modification. A change that I would like to make is the option for users to hide the module on their profile if they do not have Twitter or do not wish to use it.

(http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa11/proudmdf/twittermod.jpg)

to hide this on profile
SQL ALTER TABLE `users` ADD `showtwitt` INT( 1 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'

the profile code
if ($ir['showtwitt']==1)
{
echo "
<script src='http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js'></script>
<script>
new TWTR.Widget({
  version: 2,
  type: 'profile',
  rpp: 4,
  interval: 6000,
  width: 500,
  height: 500,
  theme: {
    shell: {
      background: '#333333',
      color: '#ffffff'
    },
    tweets: {
      background: '#000000',
      color: '#ffffff',
      links: '#07d0eb'
    }
  },
  features: {
    scrollbar: false,
    loop: false,
    live: false,
    hashtags: true,
    timestamp: true,
    avatars: false,
    behavior: 'all'
  }
}).render().setUser('{$r['tusername']}').start();
</script>";
}
and the very end thing you added

function twitter_username()
{
global $ir,$c,$userid,$h;
print "<form action='preferences.php?action=twitterchange' method='post'>
Twitter Username: <input type='text' name='twitterchange' /><br />
<input type='submit' value='Change Name' /></form>";
}
function do_twitter_change()
{
global $ir,$c,$userid,$h;
if($_POST['twitterchange'] == "")
{
print "You did not enter a Twitter Username.<br />
<a href='preferences.php?action=twitterusername'>&gt; Back</a>";
}
else
{
$_POST['twitterchange']=str_replace(array("<", ">", "\\\'"), array("&lt;", "&gt;", "&#039;"), $_POST['twitterchange']);
mysql_query("UPDATE users SET tusername='{$_POST['twitterchange']}' WHERE userid=$userid",$c);
mysql_query("UPDATE users SET showtwitt='1' WHERE userid=$userid",$c);
print "Twitter username changed!";
}
}

now you could also do the way the pic one works to witch i can show you if you like it may end up working better

Thanks for your input. If you believe that it has a benefit, then by all means post it.  :)

well i looked over it and realized you can do more with this one then the other one including not limited to the user can make it so only  friends can see it tho it would be harder to code

That would not be a bad idea, it could put the friends list feature to use. This way users would be able to control who sees their tweets in the game, and only allow people on their friends list to see them. (I am not sure if the friends list is in the lite version, though I am sure that it can be coded in.)

I like the mod, but what about people who dont use twitter

Since this is only a lite version, i don't believe it will need twitter integration.
However it is a good thought, perhaps on a later version

hey mark is it ok if i play around with this i would like to make it work with the game i have been developing

and cronus i think you should having one or two things that even v2 does not have will get people to stop trying to find v2 for free when they see this can be worked on it would also get them to buy more of your mods  ;)

Sure, that is not a problem. :)

Danny696, I am not suggesting that it comes included in the script, I am just suggesting that documentation be included with instructions on how to install the modification, in case someone likes it and wants to use it.

Cronus, Dominion is right about including features that V2 doesn't even have, and it does give you an opportunity to make some more money, and reduce the amount of V2 pirate websites. If you decide otherwise, then could you please move this thread to the free modifications section, rather than delete it. :)

Mark, I do suggest using "mysql_real_escape_string" on your "$_POST['twitterchange']".
And also securing output to stop XSS ect ect

Other than that it looks pretty good :)

I use this on my blog

<?php

function Twitter($id){
    $link = "http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/$id.xml?count=1";
    $loadxml = simplexml_load_file($link) or die("Twitter Account: Invalid");
    foreach($loadxml->status as $userstatus){
        $text = $userstatus->text;
    }
    echo $text;
 }
?>

Usage: <?php Twitter("Djkanna"); // Obviously change that for example $r['twitter_account'] ?>
Just another way you could do it..

And for example you could use Twitter($r['twitter_account']); and have like a preferences part where a user can change it just a thought ;)

EDIT: Will only work if your server allows Simple Xml :)
