Hello all,
After talking to Nisse Bryngfors, he requested that the URLs in tweets would automatically be made as urls and marked up with anchor tags. In addition to this he requested that @username replies were also automatically generated into anachor tags.
For example:
check out this site http://google.co.uk Nice design @warrenbuckley
would now become
check out this site
http://google.co.uk
Nice design
@warrenbuckley
This has been made possible with a new function in the XSLT Extension CWS.Twitter called FormatURLS.
So to format your tweet use this syntax in your XSLT.
Hello all,
This will be a very brief blog post this evening as I have made an update to my Twitter Umbraco Package from a request from a tweet I received from Nisse Bryngfors.
His request was as follows
@warrenbuckley just tried the twitter package for umbraco.Great!Is there any way to display people you follow,instead of just your own feed?
I decided this was so easy to implement, I would make this quick update to my package and release it as soon as possible.
I have reposted the instructions below for people who didnt use my previous version.
This package installs the following files:
- bin/CWSHelperTwitter.dll
- xslt/CWS_twitterStatus.xslt
- /usercontrols/Installer/CWSTwitter/cwsTwitterInstaller.ascx
The installer usercontrol cwsTwitterInstaller.ascx is used to modify the /config/xsltExtensions.config
to setup my custom XSLT extension to allow us to modify the strange format of the twitter date format.
The actual package installs the following into umbraco:
- Macro: [XSLT] CWS:Display Twitter Status
- XSLT: CWS_twitterStatus.xslt
Hello all,
This evening I have decided to create a nice quick package to help use Gravatar
easily on your umbraco blog/site. There have been snippets on other blogs to help
you achieve this, I have just created two XSLT Extensions to use in your XSLT and an
example XSLT file to show how you can use the helpers.
If you haven't heard of Gravatar before,
it is a service that allows you to upload an image so you can have a globally
recgonised avatar on the web that is associated to your email address. The most
useful scenario is on your Umbraco blog to display Gravatar images of visitors who
have left comments, but you may think of some other creative scenarios you may
want to use it in.
This is my Gravatar
Hello all this is my first package for 2008. I have created a quick XSLT package
to allow you to display your latest twitter
status’s on your website/blog.
For example here is my twitter page
where you can see what upto or thinking.
This package installs the following files:
- bin/CWSHelperTwitter.dll
- xslt/CWS_twitterStatus.xslt
- /usercontrols/Installer/CWSTwitter/cwsTwitterInstaller.ascx
The installer usercontrol cwsTwitterInstaller.ascx is used to
modify the /config/xsltExtensions.config
to setup my custom XSLT extension to allow us to modify the strange format of
the twitter date format.
The actual package installs the following into umbraco:
- Macro: [XSLT] CWS:Display Twitter Status
- XSLT: CWS_twitterStatus.xslt
Hello all,
Well this is a quick blog post to let you know I have made a minor path update
to the Creative Website package, which creates the Assets folder in the “Data”
folder located at the Root as opposed to having the “Assets” folder in the root
because of people reporting permission issues with this and the JS folder has
been moved to the NEW “Scripts” folder in V3 of umbraco.
Well once I am more settled I plan to look at the Umbraco forums and keep up
with all the blog posts - but this will now be out of office hours because my
current position does not use Umbraco at the new company where I work.
