I've recently used a php version of the twitter search API to display tweets on my website.
Now I'm looking to use an API to show tweets from a list I have created on twitter, but I can't seem to find any resources or examples.
Using List Widgets is an alternative. No need to write any PHP code. By overriding the CSS styles you can integrate the widget into your website theme.

PEAR has a nice twitter API package; http://pear.php.net/package/Services_Twitter/ - that's probably easier than writing your own adapter.

Apologies for the broad question, but I don't know where to start. I have a php web application for members with various functions and features. On the dashboard, I need to implement some dynamic news - the kind of news that that non-developer can write and publish without any interference with the source code.
Can I implement Wordpress into my existing app so that authors can login, write then publish so that my dashboard can display the latest posts?
At its most basic level, I'm thinking:
a new subfolder for Wordpress with its own separate database.
a plugin to display the latest posts content only
an iframe on my dashboard to display the output of that plugin
But all that seems like a very hacky workaround. Is there a more native way of doing this? Or is there another CMS library that could achieve the same result?
I have a solution that I am running with. It's a separate Wordpress site with the latest posts accessed via the built-in API (https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/posts/)
I will be getting all the posts in a category with:
curl https://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts
Then storing the posts in array before looping through that array to display the title and content on my dashboard with:
curl https://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/<id>
where <id> is from the first call.
This is clean, native and serves the exact purpose I need. The member info, while secured doesn't need to be top-secret, so we're just using the Wordpress password-protection with the same password for all posts so as long as the API calls are server-side with https, the security works too :)
Looks like you want Dynamic News Feature in your existing PHP Web Application.
And you want to build that specific feature in Wordpress.
I don't think it's a good idea to use Wordpress CMS for small features like this.
IF you already have full functional PHP Web Application then I would recommend to use same Web Application to build Dynamic News Feature which will allow users on the site to post.
I don't think that's very complex.
IF you want to get into Wordpress ecosystem then you will need to convert your PHP Web Application into Wordpress and then you can build additional functionality.
I think that's the ideal way to go. Let me know if more questions. Thanks.
How can I install and activate a predefined list of WP plugins using the WP API using Php please?
The REST API doesn't support plugin based actions yet. See the API handbook reference for information on what endpoints are currently available.
Posts /wp/v2/posts
Post Revisions /wp/v2/revisions
Categories /wp/v2/categories
Tags /wp/v2/tags
Pages /wp/v2/pages
Comments /wp/v2/comments
Taxonomies /wp/v2/taxonomies
Media /wp/v2/media
Users /wp/v2/users
Post Types /wp/v2/types
Post Statuses /wp/v2/statuses
Settings /wp/v2/settings
You can add custom endpoints though which would open this up for you, but due to the authentication methods available in the REST API at the moment (cookies), it does mean you have to be careful about who can access the endpoint.
A better approach to all of this is to use WP-CLI. It's an official WordPress project that lets you control the site from the command line. This is the best approach I think.
I have a free wordpress blog which automatically tweets my new article through my twitter account which I have no idea how wordpress does it. I want to do the same thing on Joomla 3.2.3 platform.
What I want to do is when I add a new article into a specific category, I want Joomla to tweet the article's url automatically.
What I have tried is to search for a couple of components doing this. But I am stucked at API/Key-API/Secret validation. The component (AutoTweetNG) needs tweeter API to have read and write level. So I have many web sites to apply this application. In order to have read and write rights twitter asks me to enter mobile phone number in the profile page.
I have decided to make this by hard coding. Is there any oppurtunity to achieve this? It looks it is gonna be a little robot things, and twitter does not let me.
At least it would be great if thic could be done using PHP only.
Try this,
You can achieve it using two things in Joomla, One is create a twitter Oauth APP also create a content plugin for auto tweet.
First you have to create an app with twitter just follow the link.
Then Create a Joomla content plugin with onContentAfterSave event.
Then Once you create an article it will automatically tweets.
Hope its helps..
First of all i know it is a theoretical question and it contains no code but actually this time i don't have code, i need your suggestion on this issue.
Question:
Is it possible to fetch the name of all categories from a wordpress.com blog or a self-hosted blog connected through jetpack?
I tried finding it here https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/ but no luck.
So please suggest.
I've been looking for the same thing. I don't think this feature is available yet (As of 24th May 2013) on jetpack but available on hosted blogs (see the link below).
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_categories
In case you are using JSON API plugin, you can use
http://yourdomain.com/?json=get_category_index to get the list of all categories.
PS: You can use this JSON API plugin in place of jetpack api as it is hosted on your own blog with greater control.
I just found out about BuddyPress (a collection of plugins that convert a WordPress MU install into a social network) and now I was wondering if there are any Digg-like voting plugins for WordPress. This would eventually integrate into a BuddyPress website, where the site members would submit, vote and comment on stories (much like Digg).
I have a feeling I will end up having to build this from scratch, but since the site will be built on WordPress, I was wondering if there were any plugins already available that add this functionality. So far I have come up empty in my search. I did find a Wordpress blog that had this functionality WpVote. It even creates thumbnails of the story webpage automatically (I'm assuming) using websnapr. I browsed through the page source and didn't seem to find any hints of a WP plugin that they are using.
I've successfully used TDO Mini Forms for user submissions combined with Vote it up to build a digg-style site.
You can create a "top votes" page using the MostVotedAllTime_Widget() function from Vote it up, or use the SortVotes() or GetVoteArray() functions to build and style your own top votes list in a customised page template.
You'll find the full list of available functions in /vote-it-up/votingfunctions.php
BuddyPress Links is what you're looking for:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-links/
Or you can try:
Pligg Voting CMS
when i was start to build my own social bookmarking, i using voteitup plugin but if you want to build your own vote button you can visit bavotasan.com and search post "simple-voting for-wordpress-with-php-and-jquery"
take a look at my own social bookmarking using it : http://nestdev.com
http://prothemedesign.com/themes/nominate-for-wordpress/
is a premium theme I've come across but never used. It's a WP version of Digg and I believe pretty good.
Personally I use Drigg which is a Drupal version of Digg. See it in action here: http://weblinks.myfriendshotel.com Unfortunately, however, WebSnapr have just changed their code so the site is no longer showing thumbanails but hopefully as a 'non-programmer' I'll find a solution soon...
Is this what you're after?
http://www.tevine.com/projects/voteitup/
I think [wpvote][1] use drigg module for drupal. I've just found buddypress plugin which has similiar function like digg social bookmarking. more detail
Not sure if this is still relevant or not but the theme used for WPVote.com has now been released on Pro Theme Design - http://prothemedesign.com/themes/nominate-for-wordpress/
