[twitter-dev] Re: how to put my own source instead of web

2009-04-09 Thread Rohan Pinto

Hi Dough,

I do have my source parameter registered, however when i do a post and
set the source parameter, it still displays as web
Ive tried various source parameters, and sometimes it translates to
some random URL on github.com !
advise please...

 Come on guys, simmer down. I completely agree with the teach a man to fish

 themselves. Sometimes it is hand-holding that is appropriate, other times
 it's teaching.

 To the original question, we are shortly deprecating the ability to register
 for source parameters [1].

 If you already have a source parameter, you pass the parameter name as the
 value of the HTTP header parameter 'source'.

 The best thing to do would be to scour the archives here. As the sentiment
 above illustrates, this has been discussed many times in the past [2].

  Mr. Andy Badera! It seems you have never used TweetDeck or Seesmic or
  PeopleBrowsr or FriendFeed or TwitterFox that's why you've said like
  that.  Please if you don't know any thing then don't term it as
  impossible.

  Is any there anyone else who can guide me?

I've been developing a web-based twitter application in PHP that uses
Arc90 PHP Twitter API Client (http://lab.arc90.com/2008/06/
php_twitter_api_client.php
 http://lab.arc90.com/2008/06/%0Aphp_twitter_api_client.php).
The only thing that is making me crazy
that when I submit a tweet from my application it puts from web and
the end, but what I need is that it should put from Foo where Foo
represents the name of my application and clicking on Foo should take
the user to my website, like the other twitter applications such as
TweetDeck, Seesmic, etc do. I would like to tell you that in the API
client that I am using, there is a parameter of source in the class
constructor and I've tried passing a href='http://www.foo.com'
target='_blank'Foo/a but still it shows web instead of Foo.
Do I have to pass something really special in the source parameter?
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance!

   You're correct. I've yet to finish my full 16oz of coffee.

To be pedantic, it should be sent as a POST variable named 'source',
not a true HTTP header value.  Please correct me if I'm wrong, or if
the header option is actually available.
