Hey guys - I found a snippet on the 'fork' site that I would love to use. After reading the syntax, I'm a bit..ummm, aware that it's propbably way over my head. There are several lines of code that I can see would need to be changed for the eto api.. wondering if someone could take a look at it for me maybe?... The snippet is a twitter posting thingy, so I really like the idea... I hope I'm not creating dramas between the 'fork' and the eto community by uploading the snipet here, - I have renamed the txt file slightly, BUT have NOT modified the code in ANY way, so the author and 'fork' names remain in tact.. Hoing that will surfice...
<download removed>
I would like to rename the snippet to "tweetweet" (lol, i know, im an oddball), and obviously retain ALL mentions of the original author.

All the snippet does it create an url that a user clicks so they can "tweet" it...

Edit: Snippet Uploaded showtopic=8449

Thanks Dean - I replaced all the "returns" with $output .= .... and it fell on it's bum hard... I don't like the way it outputs the message to twitter, but that's just a matter of text formatting really. I realise the snippet isnt overy exciting, but it could be handy... cheers.

the returns are fine... it's the $-> bits that the parser doesn't know how to handle, so changing them to $etomite->
and removing the fork-specific functions and converting them to something else too

you'll notice that I changed a bit near the top that previously wrote to the log file of a fork install... this version just outputs an error and quits (it's only if you pass $id in the snippet call and it isn't numeric).

I did test it, but not really knowing PHP I may have missed something...

I've uploaded the snippet to the snippet library.

Yea, I got the moX bits.. made sense.. lol. and I did notice the chenges u made, very clearly. Ive just been testing various eto doc variations for the output, and it all works well.. also HAD to make it open in anew tab (i HATE pages loading over my site.. lol) ... wont use on acadd, but im sure i have future uses for it. thanks again Dean

[Dean]

no prob..

but im sure i have future uses for it

yeah, same here! I've already had an idea...
