Is there any way that I can edit what you have posted?

I would like to see the 3 not-mentions tweets at all time. Not just the not-mention tweets of my last three (which is how this works now?)

Thank you

Of course. Use any or all of it, and no need to link back (though if you want to do that, I won't complain).

Is it alright to place part of this on my web site if I submit a reference point to this website?

Hey, just used your page to exclude @replies from my tweets. MAJORLY helpful man, thanks! One more thing I wanted to add though - in my case I just wanted to pull the one latest tweet. In the case where the latest tweet was a reply, this would mean nothing was returned. So what I did was make a slight modification - I added an else case and a break at the end of the loop. This means that it will search for the latest non-reply tweet and then break out of the loop like so:

for (var i=0; i\:\s\\)\]\!])/g, function(url) {
      return ''+url+'';
    }).replace(/\B@([_a-z0-9]+)/ig, function(reply) {
      return  reply.charAt(0)+''+reply.substring(1)+'';
    });
    statusHTML.push(''+status+' '+relative_time(twitters[i].created_at)+'');
    break;
    }
  }

Tom, the result of the 'tz_twitter_js' function is equivalent to the first code snippet in my post. You should change it to look like the second (i.e., don't return the twitter SCRIPT tags directly, return an inline SCRIPT tag which will use JS to write the twitter SCRIPT tags). My example uses jQuery. If you already have jQuery on your page, you're set. If not, you'll need to adapt it to either use a JS framework available to your pages, or do the listening manually. I haven't tested, but a simple setTimeout might work also if you don't have jQuery.

@barneyb

I'm really sorry but I'm not suite sure what I need to do, I have the following code which calls the feed from my tweet widget which is:

function tz_twitter_js($tz_twitter_username, $tz_twitter_postcount) {
return '[script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"][/script]
[script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/'.$tz_twitter_username.'.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count='.$tz_twitter_postcount.'"][/script]';
}

————————–

and then I have the following in my php to call the widget:

[!-- BEGIN .widget-section --]
[div class="widget-section"]

[?php /* Widgetised Area */ if ( !function_exists( 'dynamic_sidebar' ) || !dynamic_sidebar( 'Footer Two' ) ) ?]

[!-- END .widget-section --]
[/div]

——————————–

Obviously i have replaced the arrowed parenthesis with square [] so it shows in the comments here.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Tom, I assume you're returning an HTML string containing the container and script tags? If so, you just need to invoke that function on DOMReady, rather than in the page flow.

I have the following code as the twitter feed is a widget within my footer on wordpress, how should I adapt the following code to conform with this method:

function tz_twitter_js($tz_twitter_username, $tz_twitter_postcount) {
        return '
		';
}

Thanks very much
Tom

Thank you so much for this…. was really bugging me because I have a JS image loader and it was hanging badly displaying all the images in a big row until the twitter loaded….

Now it works great…

YOURE THE MAN

Hello Barney,
Thanks for finding a solution for this issue and again thanks a lot for this very usefull script!
I will use your scripts and offcourse I will put your credits in the script.

Could it be made possible to get feeds with particular hashtag by this script?
