Useful python-twitter template tags for use with python-twitter api in your django app. Inspired by django-twitter-tag app. The same type of template integration was desired with python-twitter.
This code is very compact and easily integrates into your existing projects. As of now, I am not planning to package it as a portable reusable app.
================ DocumentationIt's pretty straight forward. See usage below.
================ Dependenciespython-twitter: https://github.com/bear/python-twitter
django: https://github.com/django/django
================ InstallationInstall this into one of your existing django projects simply by copying the 'templatetags' folder into one of your existing apps.
Install python-twitter for your django project
Copy the templatetags folder to the desired django app inside your project
Ensure the appliation that you added the folder to is in your INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py
Use the tags inside of your template:
Example usage, assuming that tweets
returns a user timeline (See Setting up your view on how to set this up).
<div class="block social-block social-twitter"> {% load twitter_tags %} <h1>{% trans "Our Twitter" %}</h1> <ul> {% for tweet in tweets %} <li> <div class="tweet-meta"> <a href="https://www.twitter.com/{{ tweet.user.screen_name }}/status/{{ tweet.id }}" target="_blank"> <img src="{{ tweet.user.profile_image_url }}" width="32" height="32" /> <h2>{{ tweet.user.name }}<br /><span>@{{ tweet.user.screen_name }} · {{ tweet.created_at|twitter_date }}</span></h2> </a> </div> <p>{{ tweet|expand_tweet_urls|urlize_tweet_text|safe }}</p> </li> {% endfor %} </ul> <a href="#" class="btn btn-round btn-red">{% trans "Follow Us" %}</a> </div>
NOTE: Make sure to use expand_tweet_urls before urlize_tweet_text
================ Setting up your ViewExample get_tweets() function that can be used in your view to retrieve tweets.
import twitter def get_tweets(): """ returns twitter feed with settings as described below, contains all related twitter settings """ api = twitter.Api(consumer_key='yourcustomerkey', consumer_secret='customerkeysecret', access_token_key='accesstokenkey', access_token_secret='accesstokensecret') return api.GetUserTimeline(screen_name='twitter_screen_name', exclude_replies=True, include_rts=False) # includes entities
Usage in your view:
from your.utils.lib import get_tweets context['tweets'] = get_tweets()================ Getting the code
