All the twitter status updates on the wordpress sidebar have bit.ly links. When I click on them, I get the 404 page because instead of going bit.ly/uniquenumber it tries to go www.domain.com/blog/"http://bit.ly/uniquenumber/" with www.domain.com/blog being the homepage for the wordpress blog.
Is there an easy way to stop it from adding www.domain.com/blog and quotes and taking us to the actual link?
Any help would be appreciated. Here is the code :
/* These prefixes and suffixes will display before and after the entire block of tweets. */
$prefix = ""; // Prefix - some text you want displayed before all your tweets.
$suffix = ""; // Suffix - some text you want displayed after all your tweets.
$tweetprefix = ""; // Tweet Prefix - some text you want displayed before each tweet.
$tweetsuffix = "<br \><br \>"; // Tweet Suffix - some text you want displayed after each tweet.
$feed = "http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from:" . $username . "&rpp=1" . $limit;
function parse_feed($feed, $prefix, $tweetprefix, $tweetsuffix, $suffix) {
$feed = str_replace("<", "<", $feed);
$feed = str_replace(">", ">", $feed);
$clean = explode("<content type=\"html\">", $feed);
$amount = count($clean) - 1;
echo $prefix;
for ($i = 1; $i <= $amount; $i++) {
echo $tweetsuffix;
$cleaner = explode("</content>", $clean[$i]);
echo $tweetprefix;
echo $cleaner[0]; echo $suffix; echo $tweetsuffix; ?>
<img src="<?php echo get_bloginfo('template_directory');?>/images/side.png" alt="A line dividing the twitter updates and the open courses listing">
<?php
}
echo $suffix;
}
$twitterFeed = file_get_contents($feed);
parse_feed($twitterFeed, $prefix, $tweetprefix, $tweetsuffix, $suffix);
