[twitter-dev] Re: custom share button and following - works for one twitter user but not for another

2011-02-28 Thread KennyB 
Thanks for the question. Sorry, should have stated this in the
original post.

No, I'm definately not following schoolsvhunger.

I was aware of this behaviour (which makes sense), which is why I'm
puzzled that I don't get the follow request for schoolsvhunger. Seems
like this should be a straightforward thing to do.

  Hi,

  When I share my page with the related url param as
  'schoolsserve:Schools Fight Hunger', I am asked if I want to follow
  schoolsserve after sharing the suggested text.

  When I only change the related url param to be 'schoolsvhunger:Schools
  Fight Hunger' (no other changes), I am not asked if I want to follow
  schoolsvhunger after sharing the suggested text.

  The code I'm using is below; shown with the 'non-working'
  schoolsvhunger related param in play.

  Any ideas why this wouldn't work? Would it be some kind of privacy
  setting that schoolsvhunger has set?

  div id=custom-tweet-button class=socialicon
          ?php
                  $text = JText::_('SCHOOL PROFILE HEADERTWITTERTEXT');
                  $related = 'schoolsvhunger:Schools Fight Hunger';
  //              $related = 'schoolsserve:Schools Fight Hunger';
                  $twitterurl = 
  'http://twitter.com/share?url='.rawurlencode($url).
                          'related='.rawurlencode($related).
                          'text='.rawurlencode($text);
          ?
          a href=?php echo $twitterurl; ? target=_blank
  rel=nofollowTweet/a
  /div

  The a tag generated by the above is:

  a rel=nofollow target=_blank href=http://twitter.com/share?
  url=http%3A%2F%2Fdev.schoolsfighthunger.org%2Fschool%2F2000463-

  %20part-join%20the%20fight%21Tweet/a

  Any help greatly appreciated.

  Thanks
