Here is a quick hack to allow the Twitter Block to be used as an autotag called twitter_block. You can also pass a parameter to postion the block left, center or right.

Replace the plugin_autotags_twitter_block with:

Text Formatted Code

function plugin_autotags_twitter_block($op, $content = '', $autotag = '')
{
    global $_CONF, $_TABLES, $LANG_TWITTER_BLOCK_1;

    if ($op == 'tagname') {
        return array('twitter_link', 'twitter_block');
    } elseif ($op == 'parse') {
        if ($autotag['tag'] == 'twitter_block' ) {
            if (!empty ($autotag['parm1'])) {
                $paramater = COM_applyFilter($autotag['parm1']);
                if (empty($paramater)) {
                    $style = '';
                } else {
                    switch ($paramater) {
                        case "right";
                        $style = 'style="float:right;clear:both;margin:0px 10px 10px 10px;"';
                            break;
                        case "left";
                            $style = 'style="float:left;clear:both;"';
                            break;
                        case "center";
                            $style = 'margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;';
                            break;
                        default;
                            $style = '';
                            break;
                    }
                }
            }
            $retval = '<div id="tweet" ' . $style . '></div>'; //phpblock_twitter_block();
            $content = str_replace ($autotag['tagstr'], $retval, $content);
        } else if ($autotag['tag'] == 'twitter_link') {
            $tid = COM_applyFilter($autotag['parm1']);
            if (! empty($tid)) {
                $url = $_CONF['site_url'] . '/twitter_block/index.php?item=' . $tid;
                if (empty($autotag['parm2'])) {
                    $linktext = 'Twitter Block'; // or get title from db
                } else {
                    $linktext = $autotag['parm2'];
                }
                $link = COM_createLink($linktext, $url);
                $content = str_replace($autotag['tagstr'], $link, $content);
            }
        }
       
        return $content;
    }
}
 



and then replace the plugin_getheadercode_twitter_block function with

Text Formatted Code

function plugin_getheadercode_twitter_block() {
    global $_CONF, $_TW_CONF, $_TABLES;
 
    $headerText = '';
    //$result = DB_query("SELECT is_enabled FROM {$_TABLES['blocks']} WHERE name = 'twitter_block' LIMIT 1", 1);
    //$row = DB_fetchArray($result);
    //if ($row['is_enabled']) {
        $headerText = "\n".'<!-- Begin twitter_block http://www.flashyourweb.com Javascript and CSS includes -->'."\n";
        $headerText .= '<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>'."\n";
        $headerText .= '<script type="text/javascript" src="'.$_CONF['site_url'].'/twitter_block/index.php?view=javascript"></script>'."\n";
        $headerText .= '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="'.$_CONF['site_url'].'/twitter_block/index.php?view=css"></script>'."\n";
        $headerText .= '<!-- End twitter_block includes -->'."\n";
    //}
    return $headerText;
}
 


I don't like loading the java script all the time but currently there is no way to notify Geeklog when a certain script is needed.

Enjoy.
