[twitter-dev] Help parsing Latlon data from XML

2009-11-30 Thread chrisR 
Hi there, I've identified how to include the Geo-tagging information
in the API, and having posted using tweetie 2.1 I see some tweets with
the new data, which is excellent.

But I'm having I bit of a problem parsing the latlon info out of the
XML

I have tried:

var latlng = item.getElementsByTagNameNS(http://www.georss.org/
georss,point)[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue.split( );
var lat = latlng[0];
var lng = latlng[1];

and

//var latlng = item.getElementsByTagName(georss:point)[0].childNodes
[0].nodeValue.split( );
//var lat = latlng[0];
//var lng = latlng[1];

but neither seem to be helping.

I'm able to extract the rest of the status data OK, using:
var tweetText = item.getElementsByTagName(text)[0].childNodes
[0].nodeValue;
var tweetUsername = item.getElementsByTagName(name)[0].childNodes
[0].nodeValue;
var tweetUserAvatar = item.getElementsByTagName(profile_image_url)
[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;

Do I need a condition to check for existence of the geo tags for each
status, because I think it's failing to loop through tweets that don't
include the geotagging data?

If anyone is a whizz with extracting these particular tags, and can
help I'd be enormously grateful.

(the API call is HomeTimeline.XML btw)

kind rgds,
Chris.

[twitter-dev] Geo-enabled but only geo/ in xml

2009-11-29 Thread chrisR 
Hi there,

I'm confused by the apparent status of geotagging in twitter.

The API documentation only mentions it for status update and advice on
geo-enabling in applications.

So I enabled this on my profile and so am seeing the
geo_enabledtrue/geo_enabled when using 'twitter.com/statuses/
user_timeline.xml' with basic authentication.

But.

There is pnly a single empty geo/ tag in the XML, no actual data at
all.

Does anyone know what is happening?

Many Thanks,
Chris.

HI there Raffi,

below is a snippet of the home_timeline.XML (the last 8 lines for the
status element).
...
statuses_count317/statuses_count
notificationsfalse/notifications
geo_enabledtrue/geo_enabled
verifiedfalse/verified
followingfalse/following
  /user
  geo/
/status

The update was added from twitter.com, so if the site itself doesn't
supply the data, would you know which clients are populating geo data
at this time?

Kind Rgds,
Chris.
